FAQs

What is a mobile notary?

A: Unlike a traditional notary, mobile notaries can come to your home or place of business for your notary needs.

Mobile notaries can provide all the same services as traditional notary publics.

What does a Notary Public Charge?

A: The maximum fee per signature is $2 mandated by the State of Georgia. The state does not impose the maximum a notary may charge for other fees. Travel and convenience fees are charged at their discretion. The cost of service will vary based on appointment location, distance traveled, and the number of signatures notarized.

Does notarizing a document make it truthful and correct?

A: No. Notarizing a document only validates that the signer personally appeared in front of the notary and subscribed or affirmed the truthfulness of the document. The Notary Public has no authorization to state that a document is official, true, or correct.

I don't have an acceptable ID. Can I still have a document notarized?

A: In most cases, yes. If none of the types of Identification listed are available, or it would be excessively difficult for the document signer to obtain them, two additional persons who do have acceptable identification may be present who will swear to the signer's identity. The two individuals have to be over the age of 18, have valid identification ready for inspection and recording in the notaries journal and must swear or affirm, under penalty of perjury, that they personally know the signer. They will also need to be present at the time of witnessing and sign the notary journal.

The document I need notarized requires that multiple people sign, but we all work different schedules. Do we all need to be present at the same time?

A: No, All signers can appear at different times.

Can you notarize at my office, a hospital, or assisted living facility?

A: Yes. We can travel to most any location you and I are comfortable with.

Do Notaries draft legal documents?

A: A Notary Public is forbidden from preparing legal documents or acting as a legal advisor.

Can an incomplete document be notarized?

A: Notarizing incomplete documents or those containing blank spaces is risky and unacceptable due to potential fraud. A Notary must ensure a document is complete with no missing information before proceeding with an assignment and shall refuse service otherwise.

Can a Notary decline to help me?

A: A Notary can refuse service if there's a reasonable suspicion that a transaction is unlawful, improper, or incomplete. Failing to provide acceptable identification at a signing appointment also serves as grounds to deny a notarization.
