What does it mean when my securities manager asks me to get a document guaranteed

Question

what does that mean and where do i have to go

Answer 1

It is a "signature guarantee" and means just that--somebody attests that you did indeed sign the document.  They are given out as a customer service by banks and savings and loans.  You present yourself and the document to the person in charge of guarantees(usually a branch manager)  at the bank's or  savings and loan's office where you bank and they will stamp it and sign it.  It is similar to a notary's stamp but not quite the same thing.   For some reason it doesn't carry the same weight as a  notary's stamp but I don't know the exact difference between the two.

Answer 2

You can get a signature guarantee at most financial institutions, like your bank or credit union. It's different from having something notarized, so make sure you're clear about what you need.
