Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

Features conditional validation: if “Where should the appointment take place?” is At my address, “Address for a mobile appointment” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
Features conditional validation: if “Is the document going to be used overseas?” is Yes, “Which country is it going to?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
Features advanced show logic: if “Is anyone signing on behalf of a company or another person?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Who are they signing for, and in what capacity?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

Notary bookings go wrong for predictable reasons: the document turns out to need two signatures, the signer brings the wrong identification, or nobody mentioned that a witness was required. This single-screen request asks the questions that prevent all three. It captures who is booking and how to reach them, what type of document needs notarising, how many documents and how many people will be signing, and whether anyone is signing on behalf of a company or another person. It asks which identification each signer will bring, because that is the single most common reason an appointment has to be repeated. Two logistics questions cover where the appointment should happen — the office or the client's address — and which days and times suit, plus whether the document is going overseas, since that can mean extra steps. Requirements for identification, witnesses and legalisation are set locally and differ between notarial systems, so confirm what applies in your jurisdiction before the appointment rather than relying on the request alone.

Set it up step by step

1
Ask about identification up front
The wrong document is the main reason an appointment is repeated, so the checkbox belongs in the request rather than in a reminder email.
2
Confirm with a written checklist
Reply with exactly what to bring and who must attend; the answers give you everything needed to write that in one message.
3
Catch overseas use early
Documents heading abroad often need a further step after notarisation, and that is easier to plan before a date is set.
4
Let people upload the document
Seeing the document in advance tells you how long to book and whether a witness is needed.

Mistakes to avoid

Booking on document type alone, then discovering three signers need to attend together.
Listing identification requirements as universal, when they are set by local rules and by the receiving country.
Not asking where the appointment should happen, which turns a mobile job into a missed slot.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

What to do with the responses

Reply with a proposed time and a bring-this list, hold the slot until the client confirms, and note any overseas destination on the file for the extra step.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a booking confirmation?

No. It is a request. You reply with a time once you know how many signers are attending and what they are bringing.

How does it relate to the consultation booking form?

The Legal Consultation Booking Form takes appointments for advice. This one is shaped around a notarial act — documents, signers and identification.

Should the form list the identification we accept?

List what you accept in your reply, not as a rule in the form. Acceptable identification differs by jurisdiction and by the receiving country.

Can a client upload a confidential document?

Uploads are optional for that reason. Say above the form how files are stored and for how long, and let people bring the paper instead.
