What Is a Mobile Notary and When Should You Use One?

A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to the signer’s location to perform notarizations. Instead of visiting a bank or office, the notary comes to your home, workplace, hospital, or care facility.

Mobile notary services are designed for convenience, flexibility, and time-sensitive situations.

A mobile notary performs the same legal notarization as a traditional notary, but at a location of the client's choosing.
