Hospital Notary Services in Denver & Aurora: What to Expect
When a loved one is in the hospital, urgent legal documents — like healthcare powers of attorney, advance directives, or financial paperwork — often need notarization right away. But most hospitals don’t have a notary on staff, and asking someone to leave care to get documents notarized isn’t always possible. That’s where hospital notary services come in. A mobile notary can travel directly to the hospital, rehab facility, or healthcare center to provide fast, professional notarization — at the bedside if needed. Here’s what to expect when you need a notary at the hospital and how to prepare for the appointment.

🧾 What to Expect During a Hospital Notary Appointment
1️⃣ Scheduling the Appointment
When you schedule a hospital notary appointment, we’ll ask for:
Hospital name
Floor and room number (if available)
Type of document(s)
Number of signers
This helps us arrive prepared and minimizes delays.
2️⃣ Hospital Check-In & Access
Hospitals have security and visitation policies. Upon arrival, we’ll check in with staff or security and follow all facility guidelines to reach the signing location safely and respectfully.
3️⃣ Identification Verification
All signers must present valid government-issued photo ID. The name on the ID must match the document.
If a signer does not have ID, please contact us in advance — alternative options may be available depending on the situation and state law.
4️⃣ Patient Awareness & Willingness
Colorado law requires that signers:
Understand what they are signing
Are signing voluntarily
Are alert enough to communicate clearly
If a patient is heavily medicated or unable to demonstrate awareness, the notarization may need to be postponed.
5️⃣ Signing & Notarization
Documents must be signed in the presence of the notary. Once completed, the documents are notarized properly and returned to you immediately.
Most hospital notarizations take 15–30 minutes, though some appointments may take longer due to medical interruptions.
⚠️ Important Hospital Notary Considerations
Do not sign documents in advance
Ensure all required signers are present
Check whether witnesses are required
Expect slightly longer appointments due to hospital protocols
Planning ahead helps avoid delays during an already stressful time.
