Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
My base rate for locations between North Lolo and South Hamilton is:
$10 per notarial act (this means each time I sign and stamp a document)
$20 travel fee
That translates to $30 if you have one signature and stamp from me, $40 if you have two, $50 if you have three, etc.
Additional services like arranging witnesses, providing a credible witness, or handling admin tasks (printing, mailing, etc.) are not included in the base rate. I’ll provide clear guidance ahead of your appointment and offer a custom quote if your situation requires anything extra.
What are my payment options?
💵 Cash
💳 Credit or Debit Cards
📱 PayPal or Venmo
Sorry, I’m not able to accept checks at this time.
What kind of ID do I need?
A valid photo ID is required for notarization. Accepted forms include:
A current state-issued driver’s license or ID
A valid U.S. or foreign passport
A tribal ID
A military ID
A student ID
Any other government-issued ID with a photo and signature
⚠️ If your ID is expired, it must have been issued within the last 3 years.
❌ Social Security and Medicare cards cannot be used as primary identification.
What if I don’t have an acceptable ID?
No problem — a Credible Witness can be used if needed. Here’s what that means:
A credible witness must:
Be personally known to the signer
Present valid government-issued ID
Appear in person with the signer at the time of notarization
Be an impartial third party with no benefit from the document (for example, someone named in a will cannot serve as the witness)
What should I bring to my notarization appointment?
1. The Document
Bring the original document that needs to be notarized.
👉 Hold off on signing it until you're with me, just in case the notarial certificate requires me to witness your signature.
2. Valid ID for All Signers
Check the list above to make sure your ID is acceptable.
3. Personal Appearance
All signers — and any required witnesses — must be present at the appointment.
4. Willingness and Awareness
You must be signing voluntarily and understand what you’re signing. If you’re taking medication that might cause drowsiness or confusion, let’s schedule a time when you’re alert and fully aware.
5. Payment (See above)
