FAQ

A mobile notary is a commissioned notary who travels to the client instead of requiring the client to visit a traditional notary office. Mobile notary appointments can take place at homes, offices, businesses, hospitals, healthcare facilities, nursing facilities, and other appropriate locations.

A mobile notary appointment can be especially convenient for individuals who are homebound, busy professionals, families handling important documents, businesses, attorneys, real estate professionals, and clients who simply prefer the convenience of having the notary come to them.

A Pennsylvania mobile notary may notarize many types of documents, including powers of attorney, affidavits, acknowledgments, contracts, business documents, real estate documents, and estate planning documents when the requirements for notarization are met.

The notary does not determine whether your document is legally appropriate for your situation. If you have questions about the legal meaning or effect of a document, consult an attorney.

You can review our notary services to learn more about the types of appointments we provide.
