Each signer must present valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID (CA driver’s license/ID, US passport, or other legally acceptable ID).

Should documents be signed before the appointment?

No—do not sign in advance. The notary must witness the signature. Have pages printed and ready; we’ll guide you at the appointment.

Some documents require witnesses (e.g., POAs, certain wills). Please confirm requirements with the document issuer. Witnesses must have valid ID and be present.

Do you visit hospitals and care facilities?

Yes. Please confirm facility check-in rules and patient capacity. A government-issued ID is still required for each signer.

What about fees and travel?

Notarial fees follow California law; a mobile travel fee varies by time and location. You’ll receive a clear estimate when scheduling.
