Question 1

What does a notary public do?

Accepted Answer

A notary public performs notarial acts such as acknowledgments, jurats, and oaths. The notary verifies identity, confirms willingness, and completes the notarial certificate. A notary does not provide legal advice or choose the notarial act for you unless separately authorized by law.

Question 2

Can every document be notarized?

Accepted Answer

No. Some documents are not eligible, incomplete, or require a different official. The receiving organization usually decides which notarial act is needed. We will tell you if we cannot complete a requested act.

Question 3

Can a notary give legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Notaries are not attorneys and cannot select legal documents, prepare legal documents, or advise you about the legal effect of a transaction unless separately authorized by law.

Question 4

Where can a mobile notary meet me?

Accepted Answer

Common locations include homes, offices, hospitals, assisted living and nursing facilities, law offices, real estate offices, title or escrow offices, and public meeting places when appropriate. We confirm the address before traveling.

Question 5

How does a mobile appointment work?

Accepted Answer

Request an appointment, share the location and signer details, receive a quote, and wait for confirmation. After confirmation, the notary travels to the location and completes the notarization.
