Frequent questions
Frequently asked questions
Does ratification validate the content?
No. Ratification certifies that the document exists, its content was read, and the signatures are authentic; it does not certify the legality of the underlying deal.
Must both parties appear?
Ideally both; a single party may also ratify their own signature and content. Each signer must present current official identification.
How long does it take?
It's a quick procedure: with an appointment and documents ready, the appearance is usually completed in under an hour.
Want to shield a private document?
Ratify content and signatures so no one can deny them later.
