Hey all, I have contacted a former 401K company in order to request some tax related forms to reflect corrected information regarding a previous tax year.
After speaking with a representative over the phone, I was told to mail a written letter requesting the documents, signed with a notarized signature.
Other than taking a pen and signing, how does when give a notarized signature?
You need to take the unsigned document to a bank, accountant, realtor, stockbroker, insurance agent, or other type of business that employs notaries. I use my bank. Ask to see a notary. When in the notary's physical presence, sign the document and they will affix a stamp or seal saying that they witnessed the signature. At that point the signature is notarized. A very small fee may be charged.

You cannot do it yourself.
^^^That, plus be sure to have some ID with you. Ask at your bank first; some banks offer it for free to customers. If not some businesses such as UPS, OfficeMax etc offer it for minimal fees.
A lot of banks will perform notary services for free for members.
If time/convenience is an issue, there are "mobile notaries" (just look them up in your particular area on google) who will come to your place of business or home and perform their service.
Their fees are generally reasonable. I've needed to utilize this a few times for my parents (who were bed bound) -- in our area - usually the notary costs just $20 or so to notarize a few documents.

Yup. UPS store usually has notaries, costs like $10. Kind of annoying since my license means I'm a notary public as well.
AAA is an interesting idea. Never even though about that.
