Your Questions Answered

Find clear guidance on valid identification, document readiness, and what to expect during your mobile notary appointment. We ensure a smooth, compliant process every time.

What types of identification are accepted for notarization? Valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification is required for all signers. This typically includes a state-issued driver's license, state-issued identification card, or U.S. passport. The name on your ID must exactly match the name on the document. What documents do I need to provide? Clients must provide all completed documents ready for notarization. Please ensure all blanks are filled in and the documents are unexecuted (not yet signed) before the notary arrives. The notary cannot fill in blanks or advise on document content. Can a notary provide legal advice or prepare documents? No. As a commissioned Texas Notary Public, I do not draft documents, provide legal advice, or act as legal counsel. My role is to verify the identity of the signer, witness signatures, and administer oaths or affirmations.

What if I need a witness? For certain documents, witnesses may be required in addition to the notary. It is the signer's responsibility to provide their own credible, disinterested witnesses who are not named in the document and have no financial interest in the transaction. The notary cannot provide witnesses. What are the fees for mobile notary services? Notary fees are set by Texas state law per notarial act. Travel fees are separate and transparently disclosed based on distance and time. Please see our Pricing page for a detailed breakdown of fees and travel zones. What if my appointment is at a hospital or nursing facility? We regularly serve hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted-living facilities. Please ensure the signer is lucid, coherent, and able to physically sign or make a mark. Facility protocols for visitors and patient access must be followed, and a point of contact at the facility is helpful for coordination.
