Contact us below to find out how we can meet your Notary needs. Here is a list of some of the more common Notary services that we provide.

Acknowledgments

The purpose of an acknowledgment is to ensure that the document’s signer is who they claim to be and has voluntarily signed the document. Acknowledgments often are needed for documents concerning valuable assets, such as deeds, mortgages, and deeds of trust.

To perform an acknowledgment, the signer must personally appear before the Notary at the time of notarization to be positively identified and to declare — or “acknowledge” — that the signature on the document is their own and that they signed willingly.

Jurats

The purpose of a jurat is for a signer to swear or affirm that the contents of a document are true. Depending on the jurisdiction, it can also be known as an affidavit, a verification on oath, or an affirmation. The signer must personally appear before the Notary and sign the document in their presence. The Notary must then administer an oath or affirmation and have the signer speak aloud his or her promise that the statements in the document are true.

Administering the oath or affirmation is a vital part of performing a jurat or verification because the signer is affirming that the contents of the document are true. If the contents are not true, he or she may be prosecuted for perjury. 

Oaths/affirmations

Sometimes, a client may simply need a Notary to administer an oath or affirmation orally rather than as part of a jurat​, affidavit, or other written document. The purpose of administering a verbal oath or affirmation is, again, to compel a client to truthfulness

Copy certification

A copy certification confirms that a reproduction of an original document is a full, true, and accurate transcription or reproduction of the original. Documents requiring copy certification may include diplomas, driver’s licenses, leases, contracts, vehicle titles, Social Security cards, medical records, and bills of sale.

To perform a copy certification, the Notary makes a photocopy of the original document and completes a certificate for the copy certification to confirm that the photocopy is a true, accurate, and complete copy of the original.

Colorado forbids the copy certification of vital records, which are public documents such as birth, death, and marriage certificates. Certified copies of these documents typically must be obtained from the agency that holds the originals.

Signature witnessing

Colorado authorizes Notaries to perform a signature witnessing. With this notarial act, the Notary certifies that the individual appearing before them is who he or she claims to be, and the signature on the record is the signature of the individual before them.

SLS is Proud to Serve!

Service of process is the formal, legal delivery of court documents—typically a summons and complaint—to a defendant to initiate a lawsuit and establish court jurisdiction. It ensures due process, notifying parties of legal actions against them. Proper service is mandatory; improper service can invalidate a case.

Our experienced team will help you determine the right method of service for your legal documents according to Colorado law. We conduct due diligence to achieve a high rate of success and our clients receive supporting GPS and photo evidence that leaves no room for doubt. The server will then complete an affidavit or proof of service form, which is filed with the court to prove the documents were delivered.
