Frequently Asked Questions

Do you travel to me? Yes. We come to you anywhere in our six-county Southwest Ohio service area. That includes homes, offices, hospitals, senior communities, and other locations that suit the signing. Appointments are arranged around your schedule, including evenings and weekends.

What ID do I need? Bring one current, unexpired government-issued photo ID. A driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID all work, and the ID must clearly show your photo and signature. Every signer needs their own ID, and the name on the ID should match the name on the document.

Do you offer after-hours service? Yes. Evening, weekend, and holiday appointments are available seven days a week, and urgent same-day requests are accommodated whenever the schedule allows. Call (513) 226-9052 with the time you need and we will confirm availability.

What are your fees? Ohio law permits a notary to charge up to $5 per notarial act. Mobile appointments may also include a travel or service fee based on the location, timing, and circumstances of the appointment. Because the total depends on the appointment, call (513) 226-9052 for pricing or use Book Now. Final pricing is confirmed before the appointment.

Which loan packages do you handle? All common residential package types: buyer, seller, refinance, HELOC, reverse mortgage, and investor or commercial closings. Every signing is handled by a trained loan signing agent who presents the documents, confirms signatures and initials, and returns the package on the title company’s timeline.

How far in advance should I schedule? Same-day appointments are often available, but 24–48 hours’ notice gives the best availability, especially for loan signings and large document packages. If your deadline is tight, call (513) 226-9052 anyway and we will tell you honestly whether the timing works.

Are you insured and bonded? We carry a $2 million Errors & Omissions policy and complete an annual background screening. Ohio does not require notary bonding — unlike some states, no surety bond applies to Ohio notaries public, so E&O insurance is the relevant coverage here. Commission and insurance details can be confirmed on request before an appointment.

Can you notarize documents in languages other than English? Yes. The document itself may be in any language, provided the notarial certificate is in English and the signer can communicate directly with the notary in English or through a qualified translator present at the signing. The notary does not translate or interpret the document’s contents.
