Union City service
Notary help for documents that travel
Some documents stay in California and some do not. SoHay Notary, based in Hayward, serves Union City signers whose paperwork is headed to another agency or another country, as well as signers with everyday needs such as an acknowledgment or an affidavit. Appointments are held at homes, workplaces, businesses, escrow offices, hospitals, care facilities, or public meeting locations.
For documents intended for use outside the United States, SoHay Notary can provide the California notarization once the signer or the receiving agency has identified the required notarial act. An apostille, if one is needed, is issued by the California Secretary of State and not by the notary. Our apostille help page explains how the two fit together.
Immigration-related letters, affidavits, and similar documents can also be notarized. The notary notarizes signatures only. SoHay Notary does not provide immigration advice, choose forms, or prepare immigration filings, so questions about what to submit go to the agency or an attorney.
Preparation
Getting ready for a Union City appointment
- Know the requested act
- The signer or the receiving agency must identify whether an acknowledgment, a jurat, or an oath is required. A notary cannot choose it.
- Read the receiving agency's instructions
- Bring any written instructions that came with the request, so we can see which act the agency asked for.
- Bring the complete document
- Every page should be present. If a jurat is needed, the signer signs in the notary's presence, so ask before signing.
- Identification
- Bring an identification document accepted under California law. Many common IDs may be accepted if they are current or were issued within the last five years.
- Every signer present
- Each person who signs must personally appear before the notary.
- Timing
- Appointments run Sunday through Saturday, 11 AM to 8 PM, subject to availability.

What SoHay Notary does not do
SoHay Notary is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. The notary does not provide immigration advice, select forms, or prepare immigration filings, and cannot tell you what a foreign authority or a government agency will accept.
The notary also cannot issue an apostille. That is done by the California Secretary of State for California public documents.
