What do we notarize?
We notarize your signature on letters, declarations and powers of attorney. For example:
- Letters and sworn statements (affidavits)
- Travel consent letters for minors
- Proof-of-income letters
- Parental powers of attorney for your children’s care
- General powers of attorney over property

Since September 12, 2026, Arizona law (SB 1479) requires your right thumbprint in Didi’s notary journal if you’re notarizing a power of attorney or a document about a house or land.
A notarization means Didi confirms your identity and that the signature on the document is yours. If it’s a sworn statement, she also puts you under oath that what it says is true, and you sign in front of her. Notarizing doesn’t mean reviewing or approving what the document says. That part is yours to decide.
What if my document will be used outside the U.S.?
First ask whoever will receive it whether they require an apostille.
Only the Arizona Secretary of State issues the apostille for a document notarized in Arizona, and it needs the original: no photocopies, and no electronic apostilles. The fee is $3 per document, and by mail it takes 10 to 20 business days. If you’ll need an apostille, tell us before you book.
What should you bring?
Bring your ID and your document ready to sign, but not signed:
- A current, government-issued photo ID.
- The complete document, unsigned.
- Everyone who needs to sign, each with their own ID.
Not sure your ID will work? Send us a photo of it on WhatsApp before the appointment and we’ll confirm. If you have no ID that works, Arizona law lets a credible witness identify you: someone who knows you personally, comes with you and shows their own current ID. Ask us before the appointment.
Mistakes we help you avoid
- Signing before the appointment. A sworn statement has to be signed in front of Didi, and for any document the safest plan is to wait and sign at the appointment.
- Bringing an expired ID. Arizona law requires a current ID. Check the date before you come.
- Leaving blanks. Fill in every space before the appointment, or write N/A where it doesn’t apply. A sworn statement with blanks can’t be notarized.
- A name that doesn’t match your ID. If the document shows your name differently, with only one surname for example, tell us before the appointment.
- Signing something in English you don’t fully understand. If you’d like to read it in Spanish first, we can translate it.
Arizona notary notice
Didi is a notary public, not an attorney. Arizona law (A.R.S. § 41-273) requires this notice in every language we use:
I am not an attorney licensed to practice law in this state. I am not allowed to draft legal records, give advice on legal matters, including immigration, or charge a fee for those activities.
No soy abogada con licencia para ejercer la abogacía en este estado. No estoy autorizada para redactar documentos legales, dar asesoría sobre asuntos legales, incluyendo inmigración, ni cobrar por esas actividades.
Didilia “Didi” De La O, Arizona notary public, commission No. 203343364 (valid through June 19, 2027)
Why Puente Grande?
Because some families have notarized with us for years. Kareli has had her letters notarized with Didi for several years, Andrea notarized a power of attorney for a minor with us, and Raquel R. has come to us for about six years for notarizations and translations. Read what they say on our testimonials page.
We work in English and Spanish, you book on WhatsApp, and if a document needs translating, we handle that in the same place with our certified translations.
