How San Francisco notarization works

California notaries are state-commissioned officers who witness signatures, administer oaths, and certify copies. Bring a current photo ID and the unsigned document. The notary verifies your identity, watches you sign, and applies the official California seal that gives the document legal weight nationwide.
