PLEASE HAVE THESE THINGS READY:

VALID IDENTIFICATION:

Acceptable forms of identification are:

•State driver’s license or identification card

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A VALID IDENTIFICATION:

You can bring 2 people with you, who can act as CREDIBLE WITNESSES. Each witness must have a valid identification (see acceptable forms of identification above). Also, each witness must NOT have a financial interest in the documents being ​signed. Additionally, each witness must NOT be named in the documents being signed.
