Frequently Asked Questions

A mobile notary is a notary public who travels to the client's location to perform notarizations. Instead of requiring you to find and travel to a notary, we come to your home, office, hospital, or other agreed location at a scheduled appointment time.

We meet clients at homes, offices, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and other mutually agreed locations throughout Fairfax and Northern Virginia. We do not have a walk-in office location.

Each signer must present a current, government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID card, or passport. The name on your ID should match the name on your documents. If there is a discrepancy, contact us before your appointment to discuss.
