Frequently asked questions
A few things to know before you book.
Prepare for your appointment and get a clear answer about service details before confirming a time.
What should I bring to an in-person appointment?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID. The notary will confirm the identification method that can be accepted for your specific appointment. Keep your document complete, but wait to sign until you are with the notary if the document calls for notarization of your signature.
Do all signers need to be present?
For an in-person notarization, each signer whose signature is being notarized must personally appear before the notary. Tell us how many signers are involved when you request an appointment.
What can a notary do—and what can’t a notary do?
A notary performs the notarial act requested for an eligible document and verifies identity and appearance as required. A notary public cannot give legal advice or choose the type of notarial act for you. Ask an attorney or the document recipient if you are unsure which act or document you need.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations or reschedules with less than [24 hours] notice may incur a [$25] fee. The bracketed values are unresolved placeholders, not confirmed policy.
How does remote online notarization work?
Remote online notarization is only when the notary is authorized and the transaction is eligible. Authorization has not been confirmed, so it is not currently bookable. Additional signers and any platform fees are confirmed before a session.
How much does an appointment cost?
Texas law sets the maximum fee for the notarial act; travel and service fees are separate and are not set by the state. The full rate card lists notarial, travel, rush, per-page, state pass-through, courier/postage, and administrative charges separately. Final pricing is confirmed before the appointment; prices may change, and the confirmed quote is the price paid.
Required notice
