General Questions
What is a mobile notary?
A mobile notary is a notary public who travels to your home, office, or another place that is convenient for you to notarize your documents.
What types of documents can you notarize?
I can notarize a wide range of documents, including wills, powers of attorney, contracts, affidavits, real estate documents, loan signings, and more.
Why should I use a mobile notary instead of going to a bank?
A mobile notary saves you time and stress by coming to you. You do not have to travel, wait in line, or adjust your schedule around bank hours.
Identification and Legal Requirements
Do I need to bring identification?
Yes, you must have a valid form of photo ID such as a driver’s license, passport, or state ID. The name on your ID must match the name on your documents.
What if I do not have the right ID?
Without proper ID, I cannot notarize your documents. Florida law requires valid identification for every signing.
Can you notarize documents for minors?
Yes, but the parent or guardian must be present, and valid identification is required for the signer if they are of legal age to sign.

How do I schedule an appointment?

Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Yes, I provide flexible scheduling and can meet during the evening or on weekends when needed.
Do you offer same day appointments?

Documents and Special Services
Do you provide loan signing services?
Yes, I help with loan signings for mortgages, refinances, and other real estate documents. I come to you to make the process simple.
Can you notarize documents in other languages?
I can assist in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Romanian. The documents must still meet Florida notary laws.
Can you come to hospitals or care facilities?
Yes, I often travel to hospitals, nursing homes, and care facilities to notarize documents for patients and families.
Can you notarize documents for people who are bedridden?
Yes, I can come to hospitals, homes, and care facilities. The signer must be alert and able to understand what they are signing.
