No. Most banks restrict their notary services to bank customers and documents related to banking transactions, making it difficult for non-customers to get non-bank documents notarized. Banks often have explicit policies against notarizing third-party legal documents, especially family estate planning forms, due to liability concerns.

Why Banks Refuse Non-Customers:

Banks treat their notary services as a convenience for account holders only. When they do notarize for non-customers, they typically limit services to simple acknowledgments and avoid complex or unfamiliar documents. Many banks refuse to notarize documents they didn't prepare or review, viewing outside documents as potential legal risks.

📋 Common Scenarios Non-Customers Face:

• You need a family power of attorney notarized but don't bank at the institution
• Your bank will notarize but only for account holders with minimum balance requirements
• The document is estate planning or trust-related—outside typical bank notary scope
• You live in a different city and your bank has limited notary availability

⚠️ Important Considerations:

Nevada law permits notaries to decline notarization for many reasons, and banks regularly exercise this right. Bank notaries may also lack experience with specialized documents. Seek a licensed mobile notary experienced with estate planning. Professional notaries throughout Henderson and Las Vegas provide flexible alternatives that accept all document types and serve non-customers daily.

HELOC and refinance packages share many core forms, yet they differ in the number of pages, notarized documents, and post-signing requirements. A refinance commonly includes a Deed of Trust that must be notarized, plus lender and title affidavits that may require jurats. A HELOC often has fewer notarized pages but can include bank-specific riders and disclosures that require initials throughout the set.

• ID and name matching: Both package types require valid government issued ID that matches vesting. Some lenders request two forms of ID for HELOCs. We follow the assignment directions precisely.
• Notarized pages: Refinance sets almost always include a notarized Deed of Trust. HELOC sets may include a Deed of Trust or a similar security instrument depending on the lender. Affidavits that require a jurat appear in both package types when instructed by escrow.
• Right to Cancel: Both often include Notice of Right to Cancel for each borrower where applicable. The number of copies and initials are controlled by lender instructions.
• Scan backs and drop: HELOC assignments frequently request same-day scan backs before drop. Refinance files may require partial or full scan backs. We provide clean scans and carrier drop with tracking.
