What do I need to bring for a notarization?

A current, government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, passport, or military ID. If your ID situation is unusual, text me first so we can avoid a wasted trip.

Can you notarize a document for a family member?

Sometimes restricted depending on your interest in the document. If you're a close relative or benefit from the transaction, it may not be allowed. Text me the details and I'll let you know.

Can you come to a hospital, assisted living facility, or jail?

Yes — these are common requests. Scheduling depends on facility rules and signer readiness. I coordinate with the facility in advance.

Q: How much does a mobile notary cost?

Notarial acts are up to $10 per signature (Arizona regulated). Travel is billed at the Arizona state-employee mileage rate. I'll quote your total before we meet.

What do I need to bring?

A current, government-issued photo ID — driver's license, passport, military ID, or state-issued ID card. The ID must not be expired.

If your ID situation is unusual (expired, name doesn't match, etc.), text me first so we can figure out options before I drive out — and avoid a wasted trip for both of us.

Do I sign before you arrive?

No. Most notarizations require you to sign the document in front of the notary. Please do not sign before I arrive — if you already have, we may need to start over with a fresh document.

Can you notarize for a family member?

Sometimes restricted depending on your interest in the document. If you're a close relative or you financially benefit from the transaction, Arizona law may prohibit me from notarizing it.

Text me the details and I'll let you know whether I can help or if you need an unrelated notary.

Do you provide legal advice or help fill out forms?

No. I cannot advise you on how to complete legal documents, choose document types, or interpret legal language. I can notarize your signatures and administer the notarial act.

If you need help preparing documents, please consult an attorney first, then call me for the notarization.

Can you come to a hospital, assisted living, or jail?

Yes — these are common requests. I'm experienced with facility visits and will coordinate scheduling and entry requirements ahead of time.

For hospital/assisted living: I'll work with nursing staff to schedule around care routines and confirm the signer is aware and willing.

For jail/prison: I'll call the facility to confirm entry rules, scheduling availability, and ID requirements.

How much does it cost?

Notarial acts are up to $10 per signature (Arizona regulated). Travel is billed at the Arizona state-employee mileage rate (currently $0.67/mi). I'll quote your total before we meet — no surprises.

Can you come today? Do you work evenings and weekends?

I offer same-day appointments when available and take evening/weekend appointments by request. Text me and I'll tell you the soonest I can get there.

Do you offer Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is coming soon. Arizona requires notaries to hold a separate eNotary authorization through the Secretary of State before performing RON services.

In the meantime, I provide in-person mobile notary services throughout Cochise County — I'll come to your home, office, hospital, or facility. Contact me to schedule.
