Mobile Notary FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A mobile notary public is a commissioned notary who travels to a location of your choice—such as your home, office, hospital, or a local coffee shop—to perform notarial acts. This service offers convenience and flexibility, saving you time and effort compared to finding a traditional notary office.
A Notarial Act is the legal procedure a notary public performs to witness a signature, administer an oath or affirmation, or certify a copy of a document. In Arizona, the maximum fee for a single notarial act is $10 per signature, as mandated by Arizona State law.
How our fees are structured: Our Professional Service Fee for each specific document type (e.g., Affidavits, Wills, Loan Documents) includes a set number of these state-regulated Notarial Acts. This means the $10 fee for those initial acts is already factored into your base service cost. Any notarial acts required beyond the number included in your chosen service package will be charged at an additional $10 per signature.
Important Note: To ensure full transparency and compliance with state regulations, all Notarial Acts performed, whether included in your Professional Service Fee or added as extra, will be clearly itemized on your final invoice.
Examples of how it works:
Example 1 (Basic Service like Affidavit): Our Affidavit service includes 1 Notarial Act. So, if your document requires one signature to be notarized, you pay the Professional Service Fee for Affidavits, which covers that single $10 Notarial Act.
Example 2 (Document with Multiple Notarizations): If you have a Power of Attorney document with a witness, our service includes 2 Notarial Acts. You pay the Professional Service Fee for Powers of Attorney, which covers these two $10 Notarial Acts.
Example 3 (Complex Package like Estates): Our Estate planning package includes up to 10 Notarial Acts. If your complete packet requires 12 notarized signatures, you would pay the Professional Service Fee for the Estate package (which covers the first 10 acts), plus two additional $10 Notarial Act Fees ($20 total) for the extra signatures.
Example 4 (Extra Signer on One Document): If you have a document like a Deed for two signers (where your base service includes 1 Notarial Act for 1 signer), you would pay the Professional Service Fee for the Deed, plus the fee for the additional signer, and an additional $10 Notarial Act Fee for the second notarized signature.

You must bring three things to your appointment:
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID for each signer. This can be a driver's license, state ID card, or passport. We cannot accept expired IDs.
The complete, unsigned document that needs to be notarized. Please do not sign the document beforehand unless you have been instructed to sign in the notary's presence.
Payment for the service. We accept credit cards and other electronic payments through our secure system, which will be handled at the time and location of the appointment.
It depends on the type of notarial act required. If the document requires a signature to be acknowledged (an "acknowledgment"), you can sign it beforehand. However, if it requires an oath (a "jurat"), you must sign the document in the notary’s presence. It is always best to wait to sign the document until you are with the notary.
Yes. While we are generally an impartial witness to the signing, we CAN provide a witness for an additional fee. If your document requires witnesses in addition to a notary, you must have one present at the time of the appointment with their own valid ID, or ask us on our Contact Page. Common documents that require witnesses include Wills and certain Deeds.
No. As a notary public, we are not attorneys and are not authorized to practice law. We cannot provide legal advice, prepare documents, or explain their contents or legal effect. If you have questions about your documents, please consult a qualified attorney.
If we travel to your location and the notarization cannot be completed due to missing ID, a missing signer, or documents that are not complete and ready for signing, a cancellation fee will apply as outlined in our Refund Policy. Please ensure you and your documents are fully prepared to avoid any additional fees.
Yes. We can travel to hospitals, nursing homes, and other care facilities. We provide compassionate service for sensitive health documents. Please ensure the signer is of sound mind and able to communicate their free will to sign the document.
