As a notary in Washington State, one of the key responsibilities I hold is ensuring impartiality during every notarization. But what happens when a potential conflict of interest arises? That’s where understanding disqualifying interest comes in. Here in WA (and across the U.S.), notaries must avoid situations where their impartiality could be questioned. For example: Notarizing for Yourself: It’s a hard no—you can’t notarize your own signature. Personal Benefit: Notaries cannot notarize a document where they’d receive a direct financial or material benefit. Family Matters: While Washington doesn’t prohibit notarizing for relatives, it’s strongly discouraged to avoid even the appearance of bias. Why is this important? Because the validity of a notarized document could be challenged if a disqualifying interest is proven. For example, if a notary is named in a document or stands to benefit, their impartiality—and the legality of the document—could be called into question. Each state sets its own rules, so while Washington has clear guidelines, others may have exceptions (like Texas or Florida). That’s why knowing the specific laws of my state is essential. When in Doubt, Here’s What to Do: If you’re unsure whether there’s a conflict of interest, it’s always best to refer the notarization to a neutral notary. This ensures the integrity of the process and protects everyone involved. Have questions about notarizations in WA State? Let’s chat!

My dear friend and fellow animal lover, Samantha Mineo, has created a safe and loving doggy daycare and boarding facility in her Tacoma area home. I want to share her story with you. "When we started Doggy Paradise , the vision was simple yet profound: to create a space where dogs could play, relax, and thrive in an environment that feels like home. Our journey began with a deep love for dogs and a desire to provide them with the care and attention they deserve while their families are away. Today, we are proud to see our dream growing into a trusted community resource for dogs and their owners. How It All Began The inspiration for Doggy Paradise came from the everyday challenges dog owners face. Whether it's long work hours, vacations, or sudden emergencies, finding a safe and loving place for your dog can be stressful. Understanding this need, we decided to build a service that offered peace of mind to pet parents and a joyful experience for their furry companions. Starting with a small team and a big heart, we opened our doors to the first four-legged visitors and haven't looked back since. Growing with the Community Over time, Doggy Paradise has become more than just a dog care facility—it’s a community. We’ve expanded our services to accommodate the unique needs of every dog that comes through our doors. From specialized daycare programs to overnight boarding, every detail is designed to ensure that your dog is happy, healthy, and safe. We’ve grown alongside our community, earning the trust of countless dog owners who know their pets are treated like family here.

Todays notary pet was having a hard time just sitting still while his dad signed real estate documents. Thankfully, I was able to get up from the table several times to play tug o war and toss his stuffed lion down the hallway until we wrapped up the appointment. Dad said he was such a good boy during the signing that he was going to be rewarded with a walk to the park and some serious play sessions! #tacomanotary #notaryintacoma #petfriendlynotary #notarypets #olympianotary

At Girl Friday Notary Services , I’m here to help you understand every part of the notarial process—oaths and affirmations included! These are sometimes required for documents that need an extra layer of truthfulness, like affidavits, sworn statements, or when you’re verifying something under penalty of perjury. So, if you’re signing something that requires a promise to be truthful, an oath or affirmation might be part of the process. Oath or Affirmation—What’s the Difference? An oath is a spoken pledge to tell the truth, made to God or a higher power, while an affirmation is the same promise but based on personal honor, without religious reference. Both are equally valid, and the choice is yours! Here’s What to Expect: 1. Face-to-Face Meeting: You’ll need to appear in person for an oath or affirmation (no remote options here!). 2. ID Verification: I’ll ask for acceptable ID to confirm your identity. 3. The Promise: I’ll ask if you swear or affirm to tell the truth. A clear “Yes” or “I do” seals the deal. These steps help ensure your document is legally strong and binding. So if you’re working with affidavits, verifications, or any sworn statement, I’m here to make this process smooth, clear, and professional. Questions about oaths or affirmations? I’ve got you covered! GIRL FRIDAY NOTARY SERVICES Notarization may be boring, but I'm not! #tacomanotary #notaryintacoma #olympianotary #oathsandaffirmations #petfriendlynotary #WAnotary
