General FAQ
Yes. I am commissioned, bonded, insured and background-checked through the FBI, DOJ, and the CA Secretary of State. Your documents are in trusted hands.
No, I cannot provide legal advice or assist with legal document preparation. As a California Notary Public, my role is limited to verifying identity, witnessing signatures, and performing notarial acts. If you need legal advice or assistance with document preparation, please consult with an attorney or the document’s issuing agency.
Absolutely. I often visit senior living communities, hospitals, and private residences to help clients who can't travel easily. I'm patient, professional, and always ensure each signer understands why I am there, what they are signing and that they want to sign.
You will need a current, valid government-issued photo ID (like a state driver's license, passport or state ID). If your ID is expired, there may be other options - just please ask about this before meeting for the appointment.
Yes - I offer flexible scheduling Monday through Saturday (and occasionally Sundays for urgent matters/ask me). My goal is to make notarization convenient for your schedule.
Yes - that is one of my specialties. I am a Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agent (CNTDA). I work with estate planning/trust attorneys, fiduciaries, estate planning companies, and families to make the notarization process simple and stress-free, whether in person or I can even work with mail-away circumstances.
Fees vary based on the number of notarized signatures and travel time. For general notary work, fees are $15 per notarized signature. I follow California's state-set notary fees plus a small mobile service fee for travel. Estate planning/trust signings differ based on a package rate usually. I always like to discuss what the client needs prior to the appointment and then provide a quick estimate prior to booking.
I offer my services by appointment only to make sure every signing gets my full attention. You can text, call, or email me to schedule the time convenient for you. I try to take same day appointments when it's feasible and I always try my best to respond to any requests within an hour.
I am able to notarize a wide range of documents - from estate planning and trust documents to powers of attorney, deeds, affidavits, financial and medical documents. If it requires or allows notarization in CA, most likely I can help.
Yes! I provide mobile notary services throughout North County San Diego - including Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, Rancho Bernardo, Carlsbad, Oceanside and surrounding areas. I come to your home, office, or a convenient public location.
