FAQ
Common questions
Who can be a witness?
Usually an adult who isn't related to the signer and isn't named in the document. Requirements vary by document, so check with your attorney if you're unsure.
Do witnesses need ID?
Our witnesses bring photo ID, and their names and contact details can be recorded on the document if it asks for them.
Can family members be witnesses?
Many documents require witnesses who aren't related to the signer or named in the document. Independent witnesses avoid the question entirely.
Do witnesses add to the price?
Yes. Each witness is a separate line on your quote, so you see exactly what you pay for.
