Quick facts for Delaware notary appointments with RHEMA USA.

Delaware fee limits

Delaware sets the maximum fee per notarial act: $5 for a paper act and $25 for an electronic act. Any travel fees are separate and itemized before we travel.

Bring valid photo ID

Every signer needs a current, valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport.

No legal advice

A notary verifies identity and willingness to sign. A notary who is not an attorney cannot give legal advice or prepare your documents.

Notary FAQs

What should I bring to a notary appointment?
  • A current, valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport, for each person signing.
  • The complete, unsigned document. Leave signature lines blank until you are in front of the notary.
  • Any other signers or witnesses the document requires.
  • Your questions about the document itself should go to the person who prepared it or an attorney.
Delaware notary basics

A notary public is a public officer commissioned by the State of Delaware to serve as an impartial witness. A notary verifies the identity of signers, confirms they are signing willingly, and completes the notarial certificate. A notary does not verify that a document is legal or accurate, and a notary who is not an attorney cannot give legal advice.

For official information, visit the State of Delaware Notary Public website.

What is the difference between an acknowledgment and a jurat?

In an acknowledgment, the signer confirms to the notary that they signed the document willingly. In a jurat, the signer swears or affirms that the contents are true and signs in front of the notary. The document or the party requesting it usually specifies which one is needed.

Can you come to a hospital or care facility?

Yes. We visit hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. The signer must be alert and able to understand what they are signing, and must have valid ID.

Workforce planning basics

Start with business goals, not job openings

Strong workforce planning begins with where the organization is headed. Identify the capabilities you will need in one to three years, then compare them to the skills you have today to find the gaps.

Identify your critical roles

Some roles have an outsized effect on results or are hard to fill. Know which ones they are, build succession plans for them, and keep a pipeline of internal and external candidates.

Measure what matters in hiring

Track a few metrics consistently, such as time-to-fill, quality of hire, offer acceptance rate, and early turnover. Use them to spot bottlenecks and to guide where you invest in tools and people.

Make onboarding part of recruiting

The hiring process does not end at the offer. Connected recruiting and onboarding systems, clear role training, and early check-ins help new hires become productive sooner and stay longer.

Manage your contingent workforce with intention

Contractors and temporary workers can add flexibility, but they need structure: clear vendor standards, consistent onboarding, and visibility into spend and compliance. An MSP or vendor management program can provide that structure as you scale.
