Have you had trouble finding a notary or paying the fees for in-person notarization services?

Before you go searching “mobile notary near me” as a solution, there is a better alternative that offers more convenience, security and affordability → Remote Online Notarization.

 

1. What Is A Mobile Notary? 

A mobile notary is a professional who provides notary services outside of a traditional office setting.

Unlike stationary notaries who operate from fixed locations, mobile notaries travel to meet clients at their preferred locations, such as homes, offices, hospitals, or other convenient spots.

What do mobile notaries charge typically? 

A mobile notary can charge up to $50 for a basic notarization. They can also charge an additional fee for traveling, after-hours or emergency for $50 - $100 more, $75-$200 for loan signings, and $50 - $100 for hospital or nursing home visits.

Mobile notaries charge fees which are vary based on several factors. Here are some to consider: 

  • State regulations 
  • Travel Distance (some charge additional fees for travel)
  • Urgency (how urgent do you need the notarization)
  • Document Type 
  • Additional Services (printing, providing witnesses, handling loan signings) 
  • Hourly Rates 
  • Setting their own fees 

 

Instead of not knowing a fixed fee on what a mobile notary will charge you, move to remote online notarization. NotaryLive will only charge you $25 for a basic notarization along with significant benefits and features.
