What to Bring to a Mobile Notary Appointment

If you’re scheduling a mobile notary appointment, being prepared can save time and prevent delays. Whether you’re notarizing personal, business, or real estate documents, knowing what to bring ensures a smooth and successful appointment.

Valid Government-Issued Identification

All signers must present a valid, government-issued photo ID. Acceptable forms typically include:

• Driver’s license

• State ID card

• Passport

The name on your ID must match the name on the document being notarized.

Unsigned Documents

Do not sign your documents ahead of time unless instructed to do so. Documents must be signed in the presence of the notary to be legally notarized.

All Required Signers Present

Every person required to sign the document must be present at the appointment with valid identification. If multiple signers are involved, make sure everyone is available at the scheduled time.

Witnesses (If Required)

Some documents require one or more witnesses. In most cases, the signer is responsible for providing witnesses unless otherwise arranged. Be sure to confirm witness requirements in advance.

A Suitable Signing Location

Mobile notaries can meet you at your home, office, hospital, or another agreed-upon location. Choose a quiet space with a table or surface for signing documents comfortably.

Payment Method

If your appointment includes a travel fee, after-hours service, or multiple documents, be prepared with the accepted payment method. Many mobile notaries offer secure online payment during scheduling.
