NOTE: Notaries are charged per “notarized signature”, not per document. So if two persons need to sign a document, that is charged as two notarized signatures.
General mobile notary fees are $15 per signature plus applicable travel fees.
$10 per credible witness (if the signer doesn’t have current government issued photo ID). Please note, I will not notarize paperwork with a “subscribing witness”. I’m not comfortable with the legality of a 3rd party bringing signed paperwork.
Credible witnesses must present their identification, swear to the identity of the signer, and sign my notary book. Each credible witness is charged as one notarized signature.
$40 Flat Travel Fee for appointments over 5 miles away from my home base location (Irvine, CA).
I accept Cash, Zelle, or Venmo.
Payment is due at the time service is rendered.
You do not need to sign in front of the notary – Unless required by the entity providing the document, you simply need to appear before the notary and say, “That’s my signature.” and sign my notary book. Please have your CURRENT government issued photo identification – drivers license, passport, green card, or military ID. If your identification has expired, we CAN NOT accept it.
CREDIBLE WITNESSES If you don’t have valid identification, you must appear before the notary with TWO people who know you well, and who are not beneficiaries of the document being signed, and those two people must provide identification to the notary, sign the notary book, and swear that you are who you say you are. There is an additional charge of $10 per credible witness.
WE CAN notarize Grant Deeds, Certificate of Trust, Affidavits, Jurats, Oaths and Affirmations, General or Limited Durable Power of Attorney, Inability to Appear Affidavit, Medical forms, Permission forms for a minor child to travel outside the United States, Depositions, Letters, a copy of an original Power of Attorney, Quitclaim deed (ANY kind of deed), Living Will, Living Trust, Inability to Appear forms for the Orange County Clerk, etc.
NOTARIZING COPIES If you need a copy of a document notarized (like a birth certificate, a school transcript, etc.) we can notarize your statement on the document saying, “I swear that this is a true copy of the original.”, and YOU will sign the document, and I will notarize your signature. I am not allowed to certify the copy directly (the only exception is for a copy of a Power of Attorney, when you present both the original and the copy to me for notarization).
We CAN NOT Give you any legal advice or legal opinions, give you an unattached acknowledgement certificate, notarize a translation, notarize without ID, certify an object or event, or notarize a patent or copyright. We can NOT notarize papers for a non-English speaking person – you MUST find a notary public who speaks the language of the signer – no exceptions – and a translator is not allowed. However, we CAN notarize papers in a foreign language, as long as the signer speaks English.
PRIVACY All information revealed to me is confidential, and I will not release this information to any third party without the written consent of the client, a court order, or a “proper and lawful request” from the public.
