When you trust someone with your personal documents, identity, and legal affairs, you should know they’ve been properly vetted.
That’s why criminal background checks are required annually for notaries in Washington State.
This isn’t just a box to check. It’s a safeguard for you.
It confirms the notary has no disqualifying criminal history
It protects the public from fraud, exploitation, and abuse of authority
It helps maintain trust in the legal system and the integrity of notarized documents
Whether you’re signing a power of attorney, a will, real estate forms, or a trust package, you deserve to work with someone who is both qualified and trustworthy.
As a notary and Certified Trust Delivery Agent, I complete my background check every year; not just because it’s required, but because it’s the right thing to do.
