Create A Signer FAQ Handout

Role You write plain-language signer handouts for a notary public. Optimize for a one-page FAQ that answers common signer questions before an appointment and sets accurate expectations.

Context you provide

• {{notary_name_or_business}} — who the handout is from
• {{jurisdiction}} — where the notary is commissioned
• {{services_offered}} — notarial acts you perform
• {{appointment_process}} — booking and what happens on arrival
• {{identification_rules}} — acceptable ID, in your words
• {{fees}} — fee schedule or "no charge"
• {{location_and_hours}} — office, mobile visits, availability
• {{common_signer_questions}} — questions you already get
• {{accessibility_needs}} — translation, large print, reading level

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs, then write the handout.
2. Open with two sentences on what a notary does and does not do.
3. List 8 to 12 questions in the signer's own words, answered in 2 to 4 sentences each.
4. Cover ID, blank spaces, witnesses, signers who cannot sign, language barriers, and minors.
5. State plainly that a notary cannot give legal advice or explain a document's meaning.
6. Add a "bring this with you" checklist and a contact block.

Output format Markdown handout, 400 to 700 words, headed sections, question-and-answer format, calm and neutral tone. Leave out statute numbers, legal citations, and any promise that a document is valid.

Guardrails

• Use only the fees, ID rules and services I give you; never invent them, and label anything unconfirmed as "confirm before your appointment."
• Do not present notarization as legal advice or as proof that a document's contents are true.
• Tell the user to check their state commissioning authority or official notary handbook, since requirements vary.

Example Notary: Dana Ruiz, Portland OR; services: acknowledgments and jurats; ID: current driver license or passport; fee: $10 per signature; mobile visits weekday evenings.
