If you have ever had to rush across town to get a document notarized during your lunch break, you already understand the appeal of a mobile notary. Instead of fitting your schedule around an office appointment, the notary comes to you. It is a simple concept that makes a real difference for busy people, and it is becoming one of the most popular ways to get documents handled in Ontario.
Here is everything you need to know before booking a mobile notary appointment.
What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to a location of your choice to complete the notarization. That could be your home, your workplace, a hospital, a care facility, or even a coffee shop if that works best for you. The documents that get notarized are exactly the same as they would be in an office setting. The only difference is that the notary comes to you.
Who Uses Mobile Notary Services?
Mobile notarization is a great fit for a wide range of situations. Seniors or individuals with mobility challenges who cannot easily travel benefit enormously from having a notary come to them. Busy professionals who cannot step away from work for an office visit often find mobile appointments far easier to fit into their day. Parents at home with young children, patients recovering from surgery, and business owners who need multiple staff members to sign documents at once are all ideal candidates for mobile notary services.
In communities like Ajax and Pickering, where people are often commuting to Toronto for work and juggling packed schedules, having a notary who can meet you locally and on your terms is a genuine convenience.
What Documents Can Be Notarized During a Mobile Appointment?
The short answer is most of them. Notable Notary’s mobile service covers a broad range of documents including affidavits, statutory declarations, travel consents, powers of attorney, wills, separation agreements, real estate documents, and more. If you are unsure whether your specific document qualifies, it is always worth reaching out to confirm before your appointment.
What to Have Ready Before Your Notary Arrives
To make your appointment go smoothly, have your government-issued photo ID ready. This is required for identity verification. Make sure your documents are complete and ready to be signed, since a notary cannot sign or certify an incomplete document. If you are signing on behalf of someone else or acting under a power of attorney, let the notary know in advance so they can confirm what additional documentation may be needed.
How Much Does a Mobile Notary Cost in Ontario?
At Notable Notary, mobile notarization starts at $25 per notarization plus a travel fee from $20, depending on your location. Additional notarizations during the same appointment are priced affordably, and there are no hidden charges. You will always know what you are paying before the appointment wraps up.
