A California Mobile Notary Public can do notarizations from anywhere within California (no matter where he/she resides), for people from anywhere around the globe; must be physically located in the state of California. The identifying process is strict, and only certain documents can be used. Discuss this with the notary when you make your appointment to be sure you have what's required.

We Provide IPEN Service in Select Areas
IPEN = In-Person Electronic Notarization
EscrowTab’s IPEN solution is used to electronically sign and notarize all loan documents. One of the things I like most about EscrowTab is that the borrower still signs in-person with their original handwritten signature on each of the documents like they would with paper and pen, but by using a tablet device.
In addition, EscrowTab will tag all the documents prior to closing as a safety net, ensuring there are no missed signatures or initials.
Hopefully soon EscrowTab will also be enabled for individual documents and notarizations for the general public!
Sample list of documents frequently notarized :
- Power of Attorney
- Certified Copies of Power of Attorney
- Advance Health Care Directive
- Parent’s consent to travel forms
- Bank documents
- Insurance documents
- Trust documents and Amendments
- Beneficiary Change Forms
- Advance Health Care Directives
- Property Deeds
Notary Fees
Travel Fees
There are no restrictions on what a California Mobile Notary may charge for travel. In addition, it is common to charge extra for late night or very early morning signings (known as a convenience fee).
Notary Fees (credit card, cash accepted)
Notary costs are made up of several elements. Maximum rates for notarizations are mandated by California law. However, this doesn't take into consideration the costs of travel; the state allows notaries to charge extra for their travel time. Additional convenience fees may apply if the client requests an unusual or exceptionally late time of day to meet due to their work schedule or other reasons. California law allows notaries to charge up to $15 per notarized signature.
- $15 per notarized signature
- Travel and Convenience Fees will be estimated and stated when you make your appointment
- Wait time after 10 minutes is $1/minute - at notary's discretion (typically for senior living facilities or jail signings)
Example: a husband and wife both need to sign a document that requires a notarized signature in two locations, and an un-notarized signature in one location. The total would be 4 notarized signatures, which would be $60, plus any travel/convenience fees.
What is a mobile notary? What is a notarization?
A notary in all states is a public officer, usually commissioned by that state's Secretary of State to provide notarization services, and must be a person of integrity and pass a background check. Notaries also are required to file a bond within their county, and carry Errors and Omissions Insurance.
A notarization is the act of completing a state-approved certificate which means the notary has identified the signer to be who they say they are. The notary does not verify or validate the accuracy of the contents of the document, only the signer.
Notary Public Disclaimer
Notaries are not attorneys and therefore, by law, cannot explain or interpret the contents of any document for clients, instruct them on how to complete a document, or direct them on the advisability of signing a particular document. By doing so, the Notary would engage in the "unauthorized practice of law" and could face legal penalties including losing their notary commission, fines, and jail time.
