iii. Meeting Appointment Preparations:
[If applicable, Landmark Law will email you the documents to print]

1. Please bring originals of your previously e-mailed identification (2 valid IDs per person) to the video meeting for our inspection.
   
2. If applicable, for the video meeting, you are only required to print one (1) copy of the attached documents for signing purposes. Please set your printer to enable the pages to “shrink to fit” to enable legal sized government documents to print out on letter size paper. Double-sided printing is fine.
   
3. If applicable, please keep documents in separate piles for ease of reference during the meeting.
   
4. If applicable, please let Landmark Law know the location (e.g. city, etc. - which City) you will be at for the remote meeting and signing.
   
   We have to update the jurat for your signing appointment (the subscribed memo near the end of signing documents, generally beside your signature, that shows the date and location of your sworn oath or affirmation).
   
   
5. After you signed the documents during the video meeting, please scan over your signed documents.
