If you’ve ever needed a document notarized but couldn’t make it to an office, you might be wondering: Can a notary come to me instead?
The answer is yes, that’s exactly what a mobile notary does.
What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to your location to perform notarizations. Instead of visiting a bank or office, you can schedule the notary to meet you at:
-
Your home
-
Workplace
-
Hospital or care facility
-
Coffee shop or public space
-
Real estate closing location
This service is especially helpful for people with busy schedules, mobility issues, or urgent deadlines.
Benefits of Having a Notary Travel to You
-
Convenience – No need to rearrange your day or wait in line.
-
Flexibility – Many mobile notaries offer evening, weekend, or even emergency appointments.
-
Privacy – Handle sensitive paperwork in the comfort of your own space.
-
Accessibility – Ideal for elderly clients, patients, or families who cannot easily travel.
What to Expect with a Traveling Notary
-
Schedule in Advance – Contact the notary to arrange a time and place.
-
Have Documents Ready – Fill out all sections (but don’t sign yet).
-
Bring Valid ID – A government-issued photo ID is required.
-
Confirm Fees – Mobile notaries typically charge travel fees in addition to the notarization fee.
