Identification requirements
Every signer must appear in person and present valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification. Common examples include an Ohio driver's license or state ID, a U.S. passport, or a military ID.
The name on the identification must reasonably match the name on the document. If the identification is expired, missing, or does not match, Kam cannot proceed. This is a legal requirement, not a preference.
Each signer must be personally present, aware of what they are signing, and signing willingly. Kam must decline if a signer appears confused, coerced, or unable to communicate their intent.
What a notary may not do
A notary public is not an attorney. Kam cannot give legal advice, choose which document you need, explain the legal effect of a document, or prepare documents on your behalf.
Kam cannot notarize a document with blank spaces, notarize for a signer who is not present, or certify a copy of a vital record such as a birth certificate.
If a document requires legal interpretation, please consult a licensed Ohio attorney before the appointment.
Preparing for a loan signing
Loan packages are time sensitive. Have photo identification ready for every borrower, confirm the signing location and access instructions, and allow roughly an hour for a typical package.
Kam follows the instructions provided by the title company, escrow officer, or signing service exactly, and returns the package as directed.
Kam cannot advise you on loan terms, interest rates, or closing figures. Questions about terms should go to your loan officer or escrow contact.
Employer-authorized I-9 verification
When an employer authorizes Kam as their representative, Kam meets the new hire in person, physically examines the original documents the employee chooses to present, and completes Section 2 exactly as the employer directs.
This service is performed as an authorized representative of the employer — it is not a notarial act, and Kam does not apply a notary seal to Form I-9.
Employers remain legally responsible for the accuracy of Form I-9.
Apostilles and authentication
An apostille is a certificate issued by the Ohio Secretary of State that authenticates a document for use in another country that participates in the Hague Convention.
Kam provides courier and logistics support: preparing the submission, hand-carrying documents, and returning them to you.
Kam is not a government agency, does not control state processing times, and cannot guarantee acceptance by any receiving authority. State filing fees are set by Ohio and are separate from Kam's service fee.
How a mobile appointment works
Kam travels to your home, office, hospital, care facility, or another agreed meeting place. There is no walk-in office.
Online submissions are requests. Kam reviews each one and confirms the date, time, location, and any agreed fees before the appointment is scheduled.
For same-day needs, call or text Kam directly rather than submitting the online form.
