How it works

How an appointment works

Request. Send the document type, number of signers, location, and preferred time.
Confirm. Jim confirms availability, ID requirements, and any travel fee before the appointment.
Signing. Each signer’s identity is verified and recorded in the notary journal, then documents are signed and notarized.
Return. For loan signings, documents are returned to escrow or the lender as instructed.

California law sets the maximum fee a notary may charge per notarized signature. Travel fees are separate and are agreed to in advance.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What ID is accepted?

A current government-issued photo ID, such as a California driver license or ID card, a U.S. passport, or another ID accepted under California law. Bring the same name that appears on the document.

Can you explain my documents or tell me which form I need?

No. A notary public cannot give legal advice. For questions about what a document means or which one you need, consult an attorney, or your escrow or loan officer for loan documents.

Do all signers need to be there?

Yes. Each person whose signature is being notarized must appear in person with valid ID.

Can you notarize on the same day?

Often, depending on the schedule. Send your request as early as possible.

Do I have to use your real estate or mortgage services to book a notary appointment?

No. Each service is independent.
