Let us Stop the Spread
Stop the spread! Coronavirus has impacted our lives heavily over the past last year. I have a very real desire to ensure that I remain Covid-free and to do my part to ensure the safety of each client and signer to come.
Our Safety
U & I Professional Notary Services complies with Federal and Ohio State regulations regarding public safety throughout this Covid-19 pandemic. We require socially distanced signing with at least 6 feet in between the notary and the signer(s). As the facilitator of our signing appointment, I utilize hand sanitizer, gloves, and NEW pens for each signing session, I also provide the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to you as needed or requested.
For my safety, your safety, and the safety of our future signers, the following measures are in place to create and ensure the safest signing session possible for both the notary and our clients.
Covid Screening
A representative from U & I Professional Notary Services will contact you in advance per our arrival to ensure that you or anyone you have been in contact with, has not tested positive for the virus.
Masks Are Required
U & I Professional Notary Service uses KN95 and disposable face masks at each signing. We will double up masks upon request.
We require all signers and persons in the signing area to wear face masks, secured firmly around the face and nose area, throughout the duration of the signing. Thank you!
S Social Distance – 6 ft Required
U & I Professional Notary Service’s, notaries make every effort to sign within 6 feet of distance or more at each signing. A flat signing surface with enough room to be distance is recommended. Usually, that is going to be a kitchen or dining room table or other similar areas.
Contactless Signing
Our company wears gloves and provides a pair of gloves upon request. (Note: The gloves that will be provided for use are small and medium sizes). All electronic and hybrid signing sessions require gloves for all parties. We provide hand sanitizer at each signing for all parties, as desired. All supplies are sanitized after each use, preferably with Lysol or Alcohol.
BYOP – Bring Your Own Pen
You are encouraged to bring your own pen to sign your documents. Be sure to check with your document issuer to confirm requirements. Please note: most documents for real estate transactions recorded in the state of Ohio are required to sign in blue ink. However, if the pen color may change based on Lender, a black pen thenmay be required.
NEW pens are provided and available to any signer that does not have their own. Our company will provide them on request in the color that is requested according to the document(s) requirements.
Note: The pens that will be provided to you during the signing. You will be the only owner of that pen and may keep the pen if you like or we will dispose of it off-site after each session.
Special Requests & Considerations
U & I Professional Notary Services will review special requests for feasibility, legal compliance with notarial laws, and health and safety. As these can be a greater chore than you may think, all special requests need to be presented upfront for consideration, that means prior to our signing session.
If you would like an outdoor signing, please know that this request must also be made upfront and is subject to change at any time.
