It is often inconvenient or impossible to get to a notary. We make visits to homes, offices, hospitals, and hotels. We go where we are needed. Notarization provides assurance that the signor of the document has shown valid photo ID to a notary. We check ID carefully prior to notarization, make appropriate logbook entries, and affix our stamp and embossed seal. We verify or complete the notarization date and location, as notarized documents require the state and county where the notarization took place.

For your protection, our notaries carry the official California State Commission issued to authorized notaries. We also carry government-issued driver's licenses for identification. In addition, we will provide our business card and a receipt if payment is in cash. As representatives of the California Secretary of State, we take our function very seriously.

It is rare, but there are times when we cannot notarize as requested. We require that the document NOT be signed prior to our arrival or, if already signed, re-signed. We cannot provide “notarization via fax”, since personal appearance by the signor in front of the notary is always required. We also must decline to pre/post-date document notarizations. Please understand the distinction between the document date and the notarization date. The document date is the effective date of the document and is of no concern to the notary. The notarization date is the actual date the signor appears before the notary and must be accurately reflected on the document.

We have completed many thousands of notarizations nationwide. We can provide a very flexible rate structure to accommodate your needs. We have been contracted by the hour, by the notarization and based on travel time. We will do whatever is legal and makes economic sense for both of us.
