Frequently Asked Questions

When will I need a Notary?

You’ll need a notary when you’re signing important legal documents that require verification of your identity and a witness to your signature. Common situations include:

• Power of Attorney (POA)

• Wills and Medical Directives

• Loan and Real Estate Closings

• Deeds, Trusts, and Affidavits

• School, Travel, and Consent Forms

Having your documents notarized ensures they’re legally binding and recognized by courts, financial institutions, and government agencies.

What does a Notary do?

A notary public is an impartial witness authorized by the state to verify the identity of signers, administer oaths, and prevent fraud. They confirm you’re signing willingly and understand the document you’re signing.

What do I need to bring to a notary appointment?

You’ll need:

• A valid, government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, passport, etc.)

• The unsigned document(s) (do not sign until instructed)

• Any witnesses, if required by your document
  
  

Can you travel to me for notary services?

Yes. As a mobile notary, I travel to homes, hospitals, nursing facilities, offices, and other convenient locations to complete your notarization.

What is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization allows you to get documents notarized from anywhere using secure audio-video technology. Instead of meeting in person, you and the notary connect online through a secure platform where identities are verified, documents are signed electronically, and the session is recorded for security.

What are the benefits of RON?

• Convenient – notarize from home or anywhere with internet access

• Fast – often completed in minutes

• Secure – encrypted platforms and identity checks protect you

• Legally valid – recognized in most states and by many organizations

What do I need for a RON session?

• A computer or smartphone with a camera and microphone

• Reliable internet connection

• A valid, government-issued ID

• Digital copy of the document needing notarization

Do you handle loan signings and real estate transactions?

Yes. As a Certified Loan Signing Agent and experienced real estate professional, I handle:

• Refinances

• Purchases and REO purchases

• HELOCs (Home Equity Lines of Credit)

• Loan Modifications

• Commercial Real Estate documents

Can you work directly with title companies and signing services?

Absolutely. I partner with title companies, escrow officers, and signing services to ensure smooth, accurate closings for clients and businesses.

Do you offer services for nursing homes and hospitals?

Yes. We specialize in working with seniors and healthcare facilities, making it easier for residents and patients to execute important legal documents without the stress of traveling.

What types of payments do you accept?

We accept cash, credit cards, and business checks. Online payments are also available for remote notarizations.

Do you provide witnesses if needed?

In some cases, yes. Please let us know in advance if your notarization requires additional witnesses so we can make arrangements.

What if my document is from another state?

That’s not a problem. We can notarize documents issued in other states as long as the signing occurs in Pennsylvania or via an approved remote online platform.
