A mobile notary travels to an agreed location to perform the requested notarial act. The notary verifies identity, willingness, and the signing requirements for that act; a notary does not give legal advice or explain the legal meaning of a document.

Availability depends on the date, time, location, and appointment needs. Last-minute, evening, weekend, and holiday requests begin at a disclosed $75 additional charge when available.

A California acknowledgment, jurat, oath, or proof is $15 per notarial act or signature requiring notarization. Travel and any appointment-specific charges are separate and confirmed before booking.

The final quote combines state-regulated notarial acts with the actual appointment logistics: city, travel distance and time, requested timing, printing, scanbacks, courier/return work, parking, tolls, and facility access. Mobile travel/service fees are based on distance and calculated when your appointment is confirmed.

Seller/cash packages and HELOC or second-mortgage packages begin at $225, refinances at $275, purchases at $300, and reverse mortgages at $350. The actual package, delivery, scanback, return, location, and timing determine the confirmed quote.

Bring the complete document, acceptable government-issued photo identification, and any required witnesses. Every signer must personally appear.

For a jurat, you must sign in the notary’s presence and take an oath or affirmation. An acknowledgment may cover a document already signed, but you must personally appear and acknowledge signing it. If you are unsure which act is needed, ask the document recipient or preparer before the appointment.

They are different notarial acts. An acknowledgment confirms a signer personally appeared, was identified, and acknowledged signing; a jurat also requires the signer to sign in the notary’s presence and take an oath or affirmation. The attorney, lender, agency, or document preparer must tell you which certificate is required. A notary cannot choose it for you.

We can explain appointment logistics and the difference between common notarial acts, but we cannot choose a document or notarial certificate for you. Ask the receiving organization, attorney, lender, title or escrow office, agency, or document preparer. See the Notary Document Guide for a plain-language overview.

California notaries may certify copies only in limited circumstances, such as certain powers of attorney. Ask what you need certified before booking.

No. A notary public is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, recommend a document, or interpret legal rights.
