About Notary Services

What is a notary public? A notary public is a state-appointed official who serves as an impartial witness to verify the identity of people signing important documents and to deter fraud. I ensure that signers understand what they're signing and are doing so willingly.

What documents can you notarize? I can notarize a wide variety of documents including powers of attorney, wills, real estate documents, loan papers, affidavits, contracts, medical forms, school enrollment papers, and many others. If you're unsure whether your document can be notarized, feel free to ask!

What can't you notarize? I cannot notarize blank documents, documents without proper identification of signers, documents where the signer doesn't understand the content, or documents that are illegal or fraudulent.

Requirements & Preparation

What do I need to bring? You'll need a valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID) and the document(s) to be notarized. The document should be complete but unsigned - you'll sign it in my presence.

Can someone else sign for me? No, you must appear in person and sign the document yourself. The signer must be physically present during the notarization - I cannot notarize documents for someone who isn't there.

What if I don't speak English well? The signer must be able to communicate directly with me or we need a qualified interpreter present. I need to ensure you understand the document you're signing.

Do I need to fill out the document before meeting you? Yes, please complete all information except your signature. The document should be fully filled out and ready to sign when we meet.

Mobile Services

Do you come to my location? Yes! I provide mobile notary services and will travel to your home, office, hospital, or other location within my service area for an additional travel fee.

What areas do you serve? I serve Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding areas. Additional fees may apply for locations outside my primary service area.

Is there an extra charge for mobile services? Yes, there is a nominal travel fee for all mobile services in addition to the standard notarization fee. This covers my time, travel expenses, and gas costs to come to your location.

How much advance notice do you need? I prefer at least 24 hours notice, but I can often accommodate same-day appointments. For urgent situations, please call to check availability.

Pricing & Payment

How much do notary services cost? Fees vary by document type and whether it's mobile service. Please contact me for current pricing. I accept cash, checks, and most major credit cards.

Do you charge per document or per signature? Fees are typically charged per notarial act (each signature that needs notarizing), not per document. One document might require multiple notarizations if multiple people are signing.

What forms of payment do you accept? I accept cash, personal checks, business checks, and major credit cards for your convenience.

Scheduling & Availability

What are your hours? I offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends by appointment. Contact me to discuss your specific timing needs.

How do I schedule an appointment? You can call, text, or email me to schedule. Please let me know what type of document you need notarized and your preferred date and time.

Do you offer same-day service? Yes, when my schedule allows. Same-day appointments may incur an additional rush fee.

Can you notarize documents after business hours? Yes, I offer evening and weekend appointments for an additional fee to accommodate your busy schedule.

Special Situations

Can you notarize documents at hospitals or nursing homes? Yes, I frequently provide notary services at healthcare facilities. I understand the importance of handling these situations with care and sensitivity.

What if the signer is elderly or has health issues? I'm experienced in working with elderly clients and those with health concerns. The signer must be mentally competent and able to communicate their understanding of the document.

Can you help with estate planning documents? Yes, I can notarize wills, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and other estate planning documents. However, I cannot provide legal advice - you should consult with an attorney for legal guidance.

Do you handle real estate closings? Yes, I'm experienced in real estate transactions and can handle loan signings, deed transfers, and other real estate-related notarizations.
