Frequently asked questions
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
Please have your unsigned document(s) ready and a valid, government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Do not sign the documents until I arrive unless you have been specifically instructed otherwise.
Can you come to hospitals and nursing homes?
Yes. Bedside notarization at hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities is one of the most requested services. The signer must be alert, aware of what they are signing, and able to communicate their intent.
Can you notarize a will?
I can notarize documents related to estate planning, but I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice or tell you how a document should be prepared. For wills, please consult a licensed attorney about proper execution requirements.
How much does travel cost?
The state-regulated notarization fee is fixed by New York law. A separate travel fee is based on your location and the time of the appointment. You will always receive a clear estimate before you confirm your booking.
What forms of ID are accepted?
Valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification: a driver’s license, non-driver state ID, U.S. passport, or military ID. The name on the ID should reasonably match the name on the document.
Can multiple documents be notarized in one visit?
Absolutely. Multiple documents and multiple signers can be handled in a single appointment. Let me know the details in the booking notes so I can plan enough time.
Can you come today?
Same-day and emergency appointments are often available depending on the schedule. Choose the earliest available time in the booking flow, or call directly for urgent requests.
Do you accept credit cards?
Payment options include major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, cash, and check. Business clients can request an invoice. Online card payment will be added to the booking flow soon.
Please note: A notary public is not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice, draft legal documents, or explain the contents of the documents being notarized.
