What is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary is a notary public who travels to the clients at the client's preferred location to perform the notarization services. It's a convenient service especially for those who are working during the day and cannot make it to a store or bank that provides notary services during normal business hours or for those who simply do not want to go through the hassle of finding a notary.
1. Finding a Mobile Notary
Clients can search online or ask for recommendations to find a mobile notary in their area. You'll be surprised with how many mobile notaries there are near you! It’s important to verify that the notary is licensed and insured.
2. Scheduling an Appointment
Before contacting the notary, it is helpful to understand what type of notarization(s) are needed for your documents and how many signers and signatures will need the notarization. This will help the notary calculate the fee of the whole service. Contact your the notary to schedule an appointment. They will discuss the time, location, and type of documents that need notarization.
3. How to prepare for your appointment
Ensure that you have proper identification to present to the notary. You can also prepare the documents that require notarization. For example, if you are being asked to fill out the form and have it signed in front of a notary, you can fill in the form but be sure to NOT sign until you are with the notary and instructed to do so.
4. Meeting the Notary & Notarization process
At the agreed time and location, the client meets the mobile notary. Both parties should have valid identification, such as a driver's license or passport.
The notary will verify the identity of the signer, confirm that they understand the documents, and ensure that they are signing willingly. The notary will then sign and stamp the documents to complete the notarization.
6. Payment
Some mobile notaries may require a deposit or full payment before the services are performed or some will require payment after the notarization. Payment methods may vary, so it’s best to confirm this in advance.
7. Document Handling
Once notarized, the client keeps the documents. The notary may also provide copies or send the documents to a specified party if required.
And voilà! That is how the mobile notary works. The mobile notary process is designed to be convenient and efficient, allowing clients to have their documents notarized without the need to travel.
