Top 3 Myths About Mobile Notaries


Myth #1: Notaries can advise me about the law/legal matters.

Unfortunately, notaries are not lawyers so they cannot give you legal advice or practice law. It is also important to note that they cannot draft documents. Their job is to verify that the person signing a document is who they claim to be. This is done a number of ways but primary documents that verify identity are a picture I.D. such as a passport or driver's license and a social security card.


Myth #2: Mobile Notaries are only available during business hours.

Great news! Most mobile notaries are available well after 5 PM and some even offer 24 hour services including weekends and holidays for an additional fee. In fact, the majority of mobile notaries are willing to travel an hour or more to get a signing completed. Notary directories like AccuSignNotaries.com can provide a list of active licensed notaries in your area. Yes! That's right, one of the most convenient things about working with a mobile notary is that they can come to you!


Myth #3: Mobile Notary fees are the same everywhere.

Mobile notary fees vary by state and while the State may set some guidelines, there are a number of things that may be included in an itemized invoice for services. Other things a mobile notary may charge for include travel fees and variable rates for after hours or on weekends. You should always ask your mobile notary what their fees are.
