NOTARIZATIONSNotarization, Without the Hassle
Some documents need a notary to confirm who signed them and that they understood what they were signing. Notarizations are available for groups and organizations, and for individuals, in the office or at a location that works for you.
Notarizations for Individuals
First notarization: $50
Each additional seal or stamp: $15
Travel fee (notary comes to you): $50
In-office appointments are paid at the appointment. Mobile appointments require payment up front.
Prices plus applicable taxes.
Notarizations for Groups & Organizations
Schools, community organizations, and workplaces often have several people who need documents notarized at once. A notary can come to you. Pricing is a custom quote, and we need to see the document first, so please contact us with the document and the number of people involved.
How notarizations work
Notarization is for documents that do not need legal advice. If you are not sure whether yours qualifies, please ask before you book.
01 | IDENTIfyThe notary confirms your identity.
02 | SUMMARIZEThe notary confirms that you understand the document and are signing of your own free will.
03 | DECLAREYou swear, affirm, or declare that the contents are true (where the document requires it), and sign in front of the notary.
04 | SIGNINGThe notary completes and seals the document.
