What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to meet the signer rather than requiring the signer to travel to a traditional notary location.
The notarial act itself remains a notarial act.
The difference is where it happens.
Instead of finding transportation, leaving work, moving an elderly family member, coordinating a hospital discharge or searching for a notary office that's open, you schedule the appointment and the notary comes to the agreed location.
Mobile notarization can be particularly useful when:
A signer has limited mobility
A document is time-sensitive
A signer is hospitalized
An elderly signer resides in a care facility
Multiple people need to coordinate a signing
Documents need to remain at an office or facility
A real estate transaction requires professional signing support
Privacy or convenience makes an on-site appointment preferable
Traveling to a traditional notary isn't practical
The notary appointment comes to you.
Where Can a Mobile Notary Meet Me?
Mobile appointments can take place at many appropriate locations throughout our designated service area.
Home Notary Visits
Your home can be the easiest place to complete important documents, particularly when several family members are involved or a signer has difficulty traveling.
U.S. Notary Authority can provide scheduled mobile notarization at private residences for eligible documents and transactions.
Hospital Notary Services
A hospital stay can create an urgent need for documents involving financial, personal, estate or other important matters.
Coordinating transportation to a notary obviously isn't realistic for many hospitalized signers.
We can travel to participating hospitals and medical facilities within our service area when an appropriate notarization can be performed.
Hospital appointments require special attention to the circumstances surrounding the signer. A notary must remain satisfied that the requirements for the requested notarial act can be met.
Nursing Home & Senior Living Notary Services
For elderly individuals and residents with limited mobility, bringing the notarization to the signer can eliminate unnecessary transportation and logistical challenges.
Mobile appointments may be available at:
Nursing homes
Assisted living communities
Independent living communities
Rehabilitation facilities
Memory-care settings when legally appropriate
Other long-term care facilities
The signer must personally satisfy the legal requirements applicable to the notarial act. A family member, caregiver or facility employee cannot substitute for the signer merely because they're assisting with the appointment.
Office & Workplace Notary Services
Don't send an executive or employee across town because a document needs notarization.
We'll come to the office.
Mobile business appointments can be useful for:
Executives
Corporate officers
Authorized representatives
Attorneys and their clients
Real estate professionals
Financial professionals
Property managers
Businesses coordinating multiple signers
Organizations with recurring notarization needs
For companies with ongoing volume, U.S. Notary Authority also provides dedicated corporate notarization solutions.
Law Office Notary Appointments
Attorneys shouldn't have to interrupt their workflow every time a client needs access to a commissioned notary.
U.S. Notary Authority can support eligible client signings at law offices throughout our mobile service area.
You handle the legal matter.
We'll handle the notarial act.
Hotel & Temporary Location Notarization
Travel doesn't stop important documents from needing signatures.
Mobile notarization may be available for clients staying at hotels or other appropriate temporary locations within our service area.
This can be especially useful for:
Business travelers
Executives
Visiting family members
Out-of-state clients
Individuals completing time-sensitive transactions
Documents Commonly Presented to a Mobile Notary
Mobile notary services can accommodate many different eligible document types.
Powers of Attorney
Powers of attorney are frequently associated with mobile appointments because the signer may be elderly, hospitalized, recovering from an illness or otherwise unable to conveniently travel.
Because powers of attorney can have specific execution and witness requirements, clients should follow the instructions supplied by the document preparer or attorney.
Estate Planning Documents
Mobile service can be particularly useful for estate planning signings involving several documents or individuals.
Eligible appointments may involve documents such as:
Powers of attorney
Trust-related documents
Healthcare documents
Advance directives
Affidavits
Supporting estate records
Some documents may have separate witness or execution requirements beyond notarization.
Affidavits & Sworn Statements
Affidavits, verifications and other sworn documents are commonly presented for notarization.
Where an oath or affirmation is required, the signer must personally appear before the notary and satisfy the applicable requirements.
Real Estate Documents
Real estate transactions frequently involve documents requiring notarization.
Mobile appointments may be useful for individual real estate documents as well as more extensive signing packages.
For mortgage and closing packages, U.S. Notary Authority provides dedicated Loan Signing Services.

Agreements
Authorizations
Powers of attorney
Representative-capacity documents

Mobile Notary for Estate Planning & Powers of Attorney
Some of the most important mobile notary appointments happen when traveling isn't merely inconvenient.
It may be extremely difficult.
A parent may be hospitalized.
A grandparent may live in assisted living.
A family may be coordinating an estate signing at home.
An attorney may need documents executed by a client who cannot conveniently come into the office.
U.S. Notary Authority provides mobile appointments designed to bring professional notarization into these environments.
There is, however, an important boundary.
A notary verifies and performs the requested notarial act. A notary does not determine whether a signer should execute a document, draft legal documents, choose legal provisions or provide legal advice.
If an attorney prepared the documents, follow the attorney's signing and witness instructions.
Hospital Notary: What Families Should Know
Hospital notarizations deserve more care than simply arriving with a stamp.
The signer must still satisfy the requirements of the requested notarial act.
A hospital setting does not eliminate those requirements.
Before scheduling, make sure:
The document is ready.
The notary cannot draft a power of attorney or other legal instrument for the signer.
The signer can personally participate.
Another person cannot answer or execute the document on the signer's behalf unless the law and document specifically provide an appropriate method of execution.
Required witnesses are addressed.
Witness requirements are separate from notarization requirements. Do not assume hospital employees will be available or permitted to serve as witnesses.
Identification is available.
Tell us in advance if standard identification may be an issue so the situation can be evaluated before the appointment.
Planning these details before the notary arrives can prevent an unnecessary trip and an unsuccessful signing.
Mobile Notary for Businesses
One Signing or an Ongoing Relationship
Businesses don't need another vendor who disappears after one appointment.

Other organizations with recurring notarization needs

Mobile Notary vs. Remote Online Notary
You have another option.
Not every signer actually needs someone to travel to them.
For eligible documents, Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows a signer to appear before an authorized remote notary using approved audio-video technology.
Choose Mobile Notary When:
You need or prefer an in-person appointment.
You have physical documents.
The particular transaction is better suited to an in-person signing.
The signer is homebound, hospitalized or located in a care facility.
You need a notary at an office or agreed location.
Consider Remote Online Notarization When:
The document is eligible for electronic notarization.
The signer is comfortable completing the transaction electronically.
Travel is inconvenient.
The signer and notary are geographically separated.
The transaction and receiving party permit the remote process.
Not sure which service makes more sense?
How Mobile Notary Service Works
1. Request Your Appointment
Tell us where the signer is located, what type of document is involved and when service is needed.
2. Confirm the Signing Details
We'll confirm the appointment details and any information needed to prepare for the visit.
If there are multiple signers, witnesses, unusual identification circumstances or facility requirements, tell us beforehand.
3. Prepare Your Documents & Identification
Have the complete document and appropriate identification ready.
Do not sign ahead of time when the requested notarial act requires the signature to occur in the notary's presence.
4. Your Notary Comes to You
Meet the notary at the scheduled location.
The notary will identify the signer and complete the requirements associated with the requested notarial act.
5. Complete the Notarization
Once the requirements have been satisfied, the appropriate notarial certificate is completed.
That's it.
You needed a notary.
Instead of going looking for one, one came to you.
