What is a mobile notary, and how does it work?

A mobile notary is a notary public who travels to their clients to provide notarization services. The notary can meet the client at a location of their choosing, such as their home, office, or other convenient location. Mobile notaries operate much like traditional notaries, verifying the identity of signers and witnessing the signing of documents. We also have Spanish and Hindi translators/interpreters.

What are the advantages of using a mobile notary over a traditional notary?

Mobile notaries are more convenient since they can meet clients at a location of their choosing, including after-hours and on weekends. This makes it easier for busy individuals and those with mobility issues to get their documents notarized. In addition, mobile notaries are often faster and more efficient than traditional notaries since they can travel to their clients and provide services on the spot.
