Frequently Asked Questions

  • An unexpired, government-issued photo ID is needed, and a US driver’s license is the most common ID people provide. Other acceptable forms of ID include:

    • US Passport

    • Military ID with Photo

    • Permanent Resident Card

    • Foreign Passport (only accepted for real estate transactions)

  • Texas allows a credible witness to vouch for you. They just need a valid photo ID, a willingness to swear to your identity under oath, and zero stake in the document — meaning no named beneficiaries or executors.

  • Don’t stress, but do:

    • Check your ID. The most common snag is an expired ID, especially among seniors who no longer drive.

    • Hold off on signing. Documents being notarized must be signed and dated in the physical presence of the notary.

    • Print your documents.

      • Print Single-Sided: Receiving entities, title companies, and county clerks rarely (if ever) accept double-sided pages.

      • Match the Document Size: Print on the exact paper size indicated by the electronic file whether standard letter (8.5” x 11”) or legal (8.5” x 14”), or a combination of both.
