Frequently asked questions
Prepare for your appointment.
Do you accept walk-ins?
No. The San Pablo office is available by appointment only. Please call or text before arriving.
Can you travel to a hospital or care facility?
Yes. Mobile appointments can be arranged for hospitals, rehabilitation centers, senior communities and private residences, subject to availability.
What identification should I bring?
Please ask when scheduling so we can confirm whether your current government-issued photo identification is acceptable for your document and notarization.
Can you explain or prepare my legal document?
A notary verifies identity and performs the requested notarial act but cannot select, draft or explain legal documents unless separately authorized by law. Please consult an attorney for legal advice.
How much will my appointment cost?
Your quote will separate any permitted notarial fees from travel, after-hours or other service charges. The total will be confirmed before the appointment.
