All services are done by appointment only where I come to your home, office, or meet in a public location in the evenings during the week or on the weekend. I may also meet during lunch time depending on how far I would need to travel. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.
I do offer a $5 discount on the administration fee for active duty military, veterans, first responders, teachers, and students. Please let me know when you book your appointment so I can apply the discount and provide your valid ID during the signing.
I am also available for larger events where you’d like to have a notary public on hand or someone to do fingerprinting. This service is offered with a slightly different fee schedule. Please contact me for more information.
At this time, I am only notarizing physical documents and will update my rates when I am able offer eSigning for electronic documents.
