Notary Public is a state-appointed official authorized to verify identities, witness signatures, and administer oaths to help prevent fraud in legal and financial documents. In Minnesota, notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State and must follow state laws under Chapter 359.
We offer general notary services, including acknowledgments, jurats, oaths/affirmations, and certified copies (where permitted). We also provide mobile and remote online notarizations, real estate closings, loan signings, apostille facilitation, and business document support such as powers of attorney, affidavits, contracts, and corporate resolutions.
Please see Services for more details.
Notarization helps deter fraud by verifying the identity of the signer, ensuring they are signing willingly and are aware of the document’s contents. It adds a layer of trust and legal validity, making the document more likely to be accepted by courts, government agencies, and financial institutions.
An apostille is a certificate issued by the Secretary of State that authenticates the signature, title, and seal of a public official on a document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Apostille services are typically needed for documents like birth certificates, powers of attorney, or notarized agreements being sent abroad. In Minnesota, apostilles are issued under Minnesota Statutes § 5.15.
Our corporate legal support services are designed to assist businesses, startups, and legal teams with essential documentation and administrative needs. This includes support with contract drafting and review (non-legal), due diligence coordination for mergers and acquisitions, business formation filings, corporate governance documents such as resolutions and meeting minutes, compliance tracking, and general document preparation. While we do not provide legal advice, we offer reliable, detail-oriented support that helps streamline your business transactions and maintain proper records.

Notarization does not make a document legally binding on its own. It simply verifies the identity of the signer, confirms they signed willingly, and helps deter fraud. A document’s legal enforceability depends on its content, applicable laws, and whether all legal requirements are met—not just notarization.
