COMMON QUESTIONS

Cost, Timing, ID & Appointment Questions


How much does a mobile notary cost?

It depends on your document and the details of the appointment, so there is no one price that fits everyone. Text or call with your name, city, and the type of document, and we will give you the fee before we meet. Our appointment fee in the city limits of Lake Charles starts at $50. Additional fees apply for the number stamps needed on your document, travel, and appointments at a hospital, nursing home, or jail. A few other base fees are: General POA $150, Pre-prepared immovable property $75. Titles $50. Most affidavits $50, Pre-prepared lease $50, See our pricing page for more details.

Can I get a notary today?

Many times, yes. It comes down to how far away you are, what kind of document you have, and what is already on the schedule. A quick text or call is the fastest way to find the next opening.

Where can we meet for a notary appointment?

We meet at most offices and businesses, and we also schedule appointments at hospitals, nursing homes, and the jail, subject to each facility’s rules. For personal signings, a public spot such as a coffee shop, copy center, or library usually works well. The meeting locations listed above give you some ideas.

My document is already signed. Is it too late?

Please hold off on signing if you can, but if it is already signed, do not toss it. Depending on the document and the type of notarization needed, there may still be a way to move forward. Text or call before you do anything else so we can look at your situation.

What kind of ID do I need?

In most situations, anyone whose signature is being notarized needs a government-issued photo ID, and the name on it should match the document as closely as possible. Requirements can differ depending on the document and who is receiving it. If your ID is expired, does not match, or you do not have one, reach out before you sign so we can review your options.

I am not sure which document I need. Can you help?

Often we can point you in the right direction. Tell us what you are trying to accomplish and who the paperwork is going to. For some documents, we may be able to prepare them as a Louisiana Civil Law Notary, and for others we can help you find the correct form or resource. We are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice.
