TIP's Tip of the Month - December 2025
TIP’s Tip Recap: The Best Advice from the Past 6 Months
As we close out the year, December is the perfect time to revisit the most important tips we’ve shared throughout our “TIP of the Month” series. Each one was designed to help you have a smooth, stress-free experience every time you visit Trusted Identity Partners for fingerprinting, notary, or passport photos.
Here’s a quick recap of the helpful reminders that made the biggest difference for our clients this year:
1. Bring Valid ID to Every Appointment
Your ID is the key to almost every service we offer. Arriving without it is the most common reason appointments get delayed, so make sure it’s in your wallet before you head our way.
2. Why Appointments Matter (and How to Book One)
Appointments help us reduce wait times and make sure you get the quickest service possible. Booking online is fast, easy, and ensures we’re ready for you when you arrive.
3. Passport Photo Requirements: What You Need to Know Before You Smile
From clothing guidelines to posture and expression, small details matter. Following these requirements helps you avoid retakes and ensures your photo meets federal standards.
4. Your Documents Checklist for Each Service
Whether you’re notarizing a form or completing fingerprinting for employment, having the right documents in hand makes your appointment faster, simpler, and more efficient.
5. Print Rejections? We Offer Reprints!
If your fingerprint prints are rejected by the agency requesting them, we’ve got your back. TIP offers reprints so you can complete the process without starting from scratch.
6. Sign Forms in Front of the Notary
For notarizations, nothing should be signed or dated ahead of time. Signing in front of the notary protects you, ensures proper verification, and keeps everything legally compliant.
Thank you for trusting TIP throughout the year. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve our Casa Grande community, and we’re excited to bring you even more helpful tips in the year ahead!
