Understanding Notarization
What a Notary Does

A notary public is a trusted witness appointed by the State of Alaska to help protect you from fraud and misunderstanding. As a certified signing agent in Alaska, my role is to ensure that every signature is clear, voluntary, and secure. I specialize in various services including elder care notary in Alaska, hospice notary services, and even offer mobile notary in Wasilla. My responsibilities include:
• Verifying the signer’s identity
• Confirming that the signer understands what they’re signing
• Ensuring the signer is acting willingly
• Completing and signing the notarial certificate
• Recording the notarization in a secure journal
While I don’t create documents or provide legal advice, my job is to support your peace of mind and protect your signature. Whether you need a notary near Palmer AK or require remote online notary services for remote village notarization, I am here to help, especially in rural Alaska.

Notarization confirms that a signature is authentic and made willingly. As a certified signing agent in Alaska, I assist with a variety of documents, including:
• Power of Attorney (POA)
• Real estate documents (deeds, refinance, HELOCs)
• Wills, affidavits, and sworn statements
• School, employment, and travel letters
• Vehicle title transfers
• Remote Online Notarization (RON) for signers anywhere, including rural Alaska
As a mobile notary in Wasilla and a notary near Palmer AK, I provide flexible services, including elder care notary and hospice notary services. However, it's important to note that notaries cannot prepare documents, choose wording, or certify vital records such as birth or death certificates. If you’re unsure what form you need, I can help direct you to the right resources — and once you have your document ready, I’ll take care of the notarization process from there, including remote village notarization.
Your ID & Verification Process
Common Notarial Services in Alaska
What’s the difference between notarizing and legalizing a document?
Identity verification is how I protect both you and your document as a commissioned Alaska notary public. The steps look a little different depending on whether we meet in person or online.
For In-Person Visits
Acceptable ID includes:
• Alaska driver’s license or state ID
• U.S. passport
• Military or tribal ID with signature
(These IDs are accepted for in-person appointments only.)
For Remote Online Notarization (RON)
Remote online notarization has stricter ID requirements set by Alaska law and the verification platform. Acceptable IDs for RON must pass online credential analysis and typically include:
• A valid U.S. driver’s license or state ID
• A valid U.S. passport
Military IDs and paper tribal IDs cannot be used for RON because federal regulations restrict scanning or copying.
For Remote Online Notarization (RON) as part of my remote online notary services in Alaska, a secure platform guides you through:
- Knowledge-Based Authentication: answer a few quick questions only you would know
- Credential Analysis: your ID is scanned and verified
- Live video meeting: we sign together from the screen
You don’t have to figure any of this out alone — I’ll walk you through each step gently, whether you need a hospice notary service, mobile notary in Wasilla, or a notary public near Palmer AK. I also offer rural Alaska notary services and remote village notarization to meet your needs. Forget Me Not Notary is here to assist you.
