A Notary Public is a person of integrity, appointed by the Secretary of State to verify the identity of document signers. A Notary also performs copy certifications, administers oaths and affirmations.
Virginia Notary Publics are not required by the Virginia Secretary of State to be trained, insured, nor are they required to use a Notary Journal. However, its imperative that these practices be followed to maintain the integrity of a Notary Public. Clients repeatedly choose Ally Ward because of her experience, knowledge, and professionalism.

What do you need for a Notarization?
A Notary Signing Agent is a Notary Public that notarizes mortgage & loan documents such as: new home purchases, seller's packages, equity loans/HELOC (aka 2nd mortgage),
refinance loans, loan modifications, vehicle loans, and construction loans. Notary Signing Agents are impartial witnesses who identify the signer(s), walk them through the documents, verify that all documents are signed, dated, notarized correctly, and the executed documents are returned to the Title company in a timely manner.
My repeat clients include: Chesapeake Bank, Bankers Title, Navy Federal Title, Rocket Mortgage, Wells Fargo, First American, Servicelink, and Mortgage Connect, just to name a few.

What do you need for a Notarization?
Proper identification is REQUIRED for any notary service. Virginia recognizes the following types of identification:
- A State-issued Identification card (with photo) such as a Driver's license.
- A United States Passport
- US Military Identification card
- Foreign passport, if stamped by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
- Green Card, Permanent residence/Alien Card (only for documents related to USCIS–e.g., Affidavit of Support)
All IDs must be current. Virginia allows a Notary to accept an expired Virginia Driver's License ONLY for nursing home residents as long as it is expired no more than 5 years. I require a 2nd form of ID if the Driver's License is expired. The above-mentioned IDs are the only Virginia approved ID cards. Expired and/or damaged IDs may be refused at the time of service depending upon their condition.
If you are unable to provide one of these ID cards, you may be identified by oath or affirmation of two credible identifying witnesses who have their own valid ID.
*Notary has the right to refuse a notarization if identification is not valid/acceptable.

PLEASE NOTE: providing the wrong type of document, failing to supply required witnesses, providing fraudulent identification, or requesting the wrong type of notarial service does not constitute an error on the Notary’s part.
NNK Notary does not provide Attorney services and therefore, by law, I cannot explain or interpret the contents of any legal document for you, instruct you on how to complete a document, or direct you on the advisability of signing a document. By doing so, that would be considered the unauthorized practice of law. Any important questions about your document should be addressed to the agency that issued the document or an attorney. Virginia Notaries by law, are forbidden from handling real estate funds due at Closing.
All parties signing must be conscious and cognizant (in a healthy state of mind) in order to sign before a Notary. All signers must be signing of their own free-will and without coercion.
A Notary has the right to refuse a notarization if Notary feels the signer is being coerced or if they are not of sound mind and don't understand what they are signing.

I grew up on a farm in southern New Jersey and moved to a ranch in Colorado during my teenage years. Growing up on a farm taught me a strong work ethic. After high school, I moved to Utah and completed my Office Management Certificate and Associate Science Degree. In 1999, I moved to Oregon and spent a couple of years doing administrative work for a property management company and then an auto dealership conglomerate. In 2002, I moved to Williamsburg, Virginia where I met my husband, Shawn, and later settled in Middlesex County. While working full-time at the Tides Inn I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Human Resources. Through the years I have worked for several organizations including Cale Realty Co., The Tides Inn, HMP Hotels, and currently Lancaster Co. Sheriff's Office. I served on the Board of Directors as Treasurer for Healy's Mill Home Owners Association from 2012-2020.
