Notary Signings At My Office

Each signature notarized at my office is priced at $15, following the standard fee in Los Angeles County. This service is ideal for clients who can visit my office location for their notarization needs and is a much lower cost alternative to mobile notary services.  My office is located in San Gabriel, right next to Pasadena.

Mobile Notary

For added convenience, I offer mobile notary services. The base travel fee is $50 within Los Angeles during standard business hours. This fee covers travel up to 10 miles. For distances of 11-20 miles, the fee is $75, and for 21-30 miles, it’s $100. Each signature is an additional $15.

24 Hour Emergency Notarizations

By special request and availability, I can provide 24 hour (late nights and weekends included) wherever you are.  These may be hospital or jail notarizations, death bed, or perhaps just a scheduling conflict or late nightwork hours. If after 6pm PST, please text me at (213) 453-6991.

Acceptable ID

For notarization, valid identification is required. Acceptable forms include state-issued driver’s licenses, passports, military IDs, or other government-issued identification with a photograph and signature.  All identification must be unexpired, OR issued within the last five years.

15 Things to keep in mind

I want to ensure that every client has a positive experience when they require a notarization, so I have compiled a list of 15 things you need to know in order to make the process of notarizing smooth.

  1. Schedule an Appointment: Avoid walk-ins; ensure you have a scheduled time.
  2. I cannot provide legal advice or change a document.  I am not an attorney and my sole job is to ensure that the signer of a document is the correct signer.
  3. Bring Valid ID: Have a government-issued photo ID like a driver’s license or passport.  This ID must have your photo and signature and must either be unexpired, or issued within the last five years. I cannot accept IDs such as birth certificates or social security cards.
  4. Document Preparedness: Ensure your documents are fully completed, except for the signatures.  If there are other blanks, I will ask you to either fill them out or cross them out.  I cannot do this for you.
  5. Understand the Document: Know the contents and implications of the document you are signing.
  6. Do Not Pre-Sign: Never sign a document before the notary appointment.
  7. Awareness of the Process: Familiarize yourself with the notarization process to set expectations.
  8. Check for Witnesses: If your document requires witnesses, bring them along.
  9. Payment Methods: Know the accepted forms of payment for the notary service.
  10. Mobile Notary Availability: If you need a mobile notary, confirm my travel area and availability.
  11. Clarity on Fees: Understand the fees for notarization and any additional services like mobile notarization.
  12. Punctuality: Arrive on time for your appointment to avoid delays.
  13. Language Considerations: I only speak English and I cannot use a device or another person to translate for me
  14. Physical Presence: All signers must be physically present during notarization.
  15. Mental Capacity: Ensure that all signers are of sound mind and understand the document they are signing.
