Please have your document(s) ready and bring an acceptable form of identification. California notaries must establish the identity of the signer through satisfactory evidence, which may include certain government-issued identification documents. If you are unsure whether your identification is acceptable, please contact me before your appointment.

California law permits a notary to accept certain forms of identification, including a California driver’s license or identification card, a U.S. passport or passport card, and certain other government-issued identification documents that meet California's identification requirements. Some identification documents must be current or have been issued within the past five years. If you are unsure whether your ID qualifies, please contact me before scheduling your appointment.

Yes. I provide convenient mobile notary services at locations within my service area. Depending on your needs, appointments may be available at your home, office, hospital, care facility, or another mutually agreed-upon location.

Notary fees are subject to California's statutory fee limits. A separate travel fee may also apply for mobile appointments and will be disclosed separately from the notarial fee. Please contact me for current pricing and availability.

Many documents can be notarized as long as the requirements for the requested notarial act are met. As a notary public, I verify identity and properly complete the requested notarial act, but I cannot provide legal advice, determine which notarial act you need, or prepare legal documents for you. If you are unsure whether your document requires notarization, please consult the document preparer or a qualified attorney.

Some documents may require witnesses in addition to notarization, depending on the document and the circumstances. Witness requirements can vary, so please review your documents before your appointment. If witnesses are required, you may need to arrange for them to be present unless otherwise permitted by law.

Not necessarily. Certain documents must be signed or acknowledged in the presence of the notary, depending on the type of notarial act being performed. If you are unsure, it is best to wait and sign when instructed during your appointment.
