Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about our 24/7 mobile notary.
What areas do you service?
We provide mobile notary services throughout the entire South Bay area. Our notaries will travel directly to your preferred location – whether that’s your home, office, hospital, or any other convenient spot within the South Bay. This saves you time and ensures you can get your documents notarized on your schedule.
Are you available after business hours and on weekends?
Yes! We operate 24/7 to accommodate your schedule. Whether you need notary services early in the morning, late at night, or on weekends and holidays, we’re here to help. We understand that document signing needs don’t always happen during traditional business hours, so we make ourselves available whenever you need us.
What do I need to bring to my notary appointment?
You’ll need to bring a current, valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license, passport, or state ID card. The ID must not be expired and should clearly show your photo, signature, and physical description. You should also have all documents that need to be notarized, but do not sign them beforehand – signatures must be made in the presence of the notary. If you have questions about whether your ID is acceptable, feel free to contact us before your appointment.
How long does a typical notary appointment take?
Most notary appointments take between 10-20 minutes, depending on the number of documents and signatures required. More complex signings, such as loan document packages, may take 30-45 minutes. We always allow adequate time to carefully review identification, explain the notarial process, and ensure all documents are properly executed. We never rush through appointments – accuracy and thoroughness are our priorities.
What if I don't have a valid ID?
A valid, government-issued photo ID is required by law for notarization. If your ID is expired or you don’t currently have one, we cannot proceed with the notarization. We recommend obtaining a valid ID from the DMV or applying for a passport before scheduling your appointment. In some limited circumstances, California law allows for credible witnesses to identify you, but this requires specific conditions to be met. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Do you offer same-day/rush or after-hours appointments?
Yes. We provide same-day, evening, and weekend appointments based on availability. Our goal is to make the notarization process fast, flexible, and convenient for your schedule.
Do you provide notarization for business or real estate documents?
Yes. We regularly handle business contracts, real estate deeds, loan packets, and other professional forms that require notarization. Mobile service allows us to meet you at your office, escrow company, or chosen location for convenience.
Can multiple people sign in one appointment?
Yes. We can accommodate multiple signers at the same time, as long as each person has valid identification and is present when signing.
What should I prepare before my notary appointment?
Please have the complete, unsigned document ready and ensure all signers bring valid photo identification. Review the document beforehand, but do not sign until the notary instructs you to. This helps avoid errors and ensures a smooth notarization process.
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a certificate issued by a government authority to verify the authenticity of a public document, such as a birth certificate, marriage license, or notarized form. It allows your document to be recognized in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
When do I need an apostille?
You typically need an apostille when you plan to use U.S. documents in another country for official purposes, such as legal, educational, or business matters. The receiving country must be a member of the Hague Convention for the apostille to apply.
Can a notary issue an apostille?
No. Only the designated state or federal authority can issue an apostille. However, a notary public may help ensure your documents are properly notarized before submission to the issuing agency.
How long does the apostille process take?
Processing times vary depending on the state, document type, and current volume of requests. Some apostilles can be completed in a few days, while others may take longer. Expedited options may be available for certain documents.
What types of documents can receive an apostille?
Common documents that can be apostilled include birth and death certificates, marriage licenses, power of attorney forms, academic transcripts, and notarized affidavits. Each document must be issued or notarized in the same state where the apostille is requested.
What types of document services do you provide?
We offer a full range of professional document services, including translation, typing, scanning, and secure mailing or shipping. Whether you need a handwritten note typed, a form translated, or digital copies made, our team ensures accuracy, privacy, and prompt delivery.
Can you help with official or certified documents?
Yes. We handle official and personal paperwork, including forms, letters, business contracts, academic records, and identification documents. Certified translation and notarization options are available when required for official use.
How quickly can my documents be completed?
Turnaround time depends on the type of service and document volume. Most standard typing, translation, or scanning projects are completed within one to two business days. Expedited and same-day options may be available upon request.
How are documents handled for security and privacy?
All documents are processed securely and treated with complete confidentiality. Digital files are transmitted through encrypted systems, and physical copies are stored safely until pickup or delivery.
Do you provide mailing or shipping options after processing?
Yes. We offer domestic and international mailing through trusted carriers such as FedEx and USPS. Each shipment includes tracking details and secure packaging to ensure your documents arrive safely and on time.
