How do I schedule a mobile notary appointment?
Contact us by phone at (571) 306-3551 or email at matthew@precisivebooks.com to schedule your mobile notary appointment. We’ll work with you to find a convenient time and location.
How much does a mobile notary cost?
My mobile notary rate starts at $35—that’s the travel fee—plus $10 per notarized document. I come to your home or office on weekends when most notary offices are closed. Most appointments include 2–3 stamps, so a typical visit runs $55–$65 total. There are no weekend surcharges or hidden fees.
Why is it more than a courthouse notary?
A courthouse notary costs less because you go to them on a weekday during business hours. My service is for clients who need a notary on a Saturday or Sunday, at their own home or office, without taking time off work. If weekday availability works for your timeline, the Fairfax County courthouse notary is a budget alternative.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, check, and major credit/debit cards.
What should I bring to a mobile notary appointment?
- A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, state ID, or military ID)
- The unsigned documents to be notarized
- Any required witnesses (I’ll tell you in advance if your document needs them)
- Payment
How far in advance should I book?
Earlier in the week is best for locking in a specific time slot, but last-minute weekend appointments often open up. Just call (571) 306-3551 and I’ll let you know what’s available.
