All signings must be scheduled with a minimum of two hours notice.

ID RULE EXCEPTIONS >> ONLY for the purposes of real estate conveyance and financing In addition to the other forms of acceptable identification, a notary may accept the following forms of ID: 1.

Signers must be coherent and willing to sign. If a notary is not comfortable performing the notarial act because a signer is not willing or incoherent- no refund will be issued.
Jail notaries must include a proper identification. If you do not have proper identification (other than the state ID card) you must arrange for the guard or sheriff to act as a credible witness prior to the notary. If a credible witness is not provided the notary will charge $1.00 per minute waiting. Please note that inmates may take a long time to be brought out for notarization. It is important to understand that our appointments are scheduled for 1 hour only for jail notaries. After 1 hour waiting a $1.00 per minute fee will be applied to the bill. Please make sure to bring cash or card with you to receive your notarized documents.
