Please contact us in advance to discuss specific accommodations.

 

14. Can you notarize a document written in a language other than English?

Yes, but with some important conditions:

  • The notarial certificate (acknowledgment or jurat) must be in English because California notaries are required to complete their section in English.

  • The notary does not need to understand the document’s content as long as the signer confirms that they understand what they are signing.

  • The notary and the signer must be able to communicate directly in the same language. California law prohibits the use of an interpreter to facilitate notarization. If the signer cannot communicate with the notary in a common language, the notarization cannot proceed.
