Local Community Sponsor of Women’s Road Bicycle Racing

Cathy Wong, owner of Champion Mobile Notary, is pleased to announce that her company will sponsor the women’s category Pro/Elite 1/2/3 Memorial Day Criterium race on May 31, 2010. This is the second year that Champion Mobile Notary is sponsoring the race. It is a qualifying race for amateur competitive road bicycle racers to race with the pros at the Nature Valley Grand Prix (5 day stage race). This is a way she can invest in the local community and stay connected with women’s road bicycle racing.

She is a retired United States Cycling Federation road bicycle racer and USCF Coach and former manager and founder of a women’s bicycling club. She competed for several years and wanted to involve more women in the male dominated sport so she coached and managed a women’s bicycle club. She participated in the fun, well organized San Jose Bicycle Club Tuesday Night Criterium races which helped her improve her bicycle racing fitness and skills.

In the summer of 2006, she founded Champion Mobile Notary. The discipline and skills she developed with competitive road bicycle racing has helped her with her business. In a bicycle race your plan and what actually happens are usually different. Problem-solving, quick thinking and being goal oriented are a couple of bicycle racing skills that she uses with her mobile notary business. Clients include estate planning and family law attorneys; small business owners; small and medium businesses; wealth management companies; legal document services; Realtors; title companies; mortgage brokers; individuals adopting international children, home bound, in healthcare facilities and doing their own estate planning; and more.

What Type of Identification Is Acceptable for Notarizations?

Sometimes people who have documents that require notarization are unaware of the proper photo identification they need. The governing body that regulates California notary publics is the Secretary of State. They determine what forms of photo identification are allowed. Following are acceptable forms of current identification (or issued within five years) to notarize documents according to the Secretary of State’s Notary Public Handbook 2010 (some wording modified for easier reading):

1. US passport;
2. California Identification Card (is similar to California Driver’s license. It states “Identification Card” instead of “Driver License”)
3. California Senior Citizen Identification Card (same as above);
4. A passport issued by a foreign government that is stamped by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service or the US Citizenship and Immigration Services;
5. A driver’s license issued by another state or by a Canadian or Mexican public agency authorized to issue driver’s licenses;
6. An identification card issued by another state;
7. A US military identification card with a photo, physical description, signature, and identifying number;
8. An inmate identification card issued by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation;
9. An employee identification card issued by an agency or office of the State of California, or an agency or office of a city or county in California;

Please note the original photo identifications must be presented to the notary public before your documents are notarized. Copies of your photo identification or expired original photo identifications are not acceptable. The fine for notary public’s not properly identifying someone is up to $10,000. In addition, it is to protect you. Please understand the responsibility notary public’s have in identifying you before they notarize your documents.
