More Info and FAQ
-
What areas of NC do you cover?I'm located in central Durham. I cover all of Durham and Northern Chapel Hill at my regular rate. Cary, Morrisvile, and Hillsborough are covered by my extended rate. Send me a message if you are further. We can work out a price.
-
How much do you charge?My base fee is $50 for a 20 minute visit including travel in Durham and Northern Chapel Hill. In that time we can notarize 1-2 documents with a few signatures. We can add an extra couple signatures at a very reasonable rate. For very large jobs, my rate is $100 per hour. Example: A simple will with 2 witnesses present can be done in the 20 minutes. Add a POA or two and we will add $20 to the rate. Complex document packs like large estate planning documents or property seller documents should choose the 1 hour for $100. Text or call with any questions. Cary, Morrisville and Hillsborough are further away from my dispatch location and are covered in my $75 rate for the first 20 minutes.
-
What are your credentials?I am not a lawyer. I have taken a class to be a Notary, passed a test, registered, and took an oath. North Carolina has given me the power to Notarize documents making me a mobile Notary Public. I may operate in any county in North Carolina. You too can become a notary by following the steps outlined here.
-
Can you Notarize a document that has already been signed?It's a little complicated but most often the answer is no. There some documents I can, some documents I can't. If I can, the person that signed MUST be present with a government issued photo ID. It's easier for everyone if you just redo your document and don't sign it till I can directly witness the signature.
-
What if my appointment takes longer than 20 minutes?Generally, appointments will not take longer than 20 minutes. If you have several documents, an additional $20 may be charged. For larger document packs, choose the $100 for 1 hour option. As long as you have your documents filled out and ready to be signed, the mobile Notary appointment should be easy. Check to see if you need witnesses and be sure they are there.
-
But you have blue hair?Yes I do! I love my blue hair and so did North Carolina when they made me a Notary Public! 😁. I also love helping people Notarize documents, possibly more than people with blonde or brown hair. 😅
-
I need to have something notarized FAST.Text me to see if I can do a rush appointment. I can normally do same day, sometimes within an hour or two. You could also check the NC notary registry to see if someone else can serve you, but you will likely need to travel to them.
-
Do you notarize name change documents?I like helping with name change documents! Do you need a AOC-SP-604 Adult Name Change document or a DL-101 Affidavit for Name Change from the DMV? Book an appointment!
-
Can you notarize any document?I can witness you sign just about anything and that is the basis of notarization. The document must, however, be in English. If your document does not have notarial wording I can attach a notarized document to your original document. I always have a variety of certificates with me that you may choose from.
-
What if I have a question about my document?I cannot give you legal advice or advise you about your document content. That’s just the way the law works and I am definitly not a lawyer. The only thing I can do for you is Notarize your signature.

-
What about the new Electronic Notary Services?I currently am not authorized to perform Electronic Notary services.

Can you certify a True Copy?A NC Notary Public cannot certify a document as a ‘true copy’. If you don’t know what a True Copy is, then this likely doesn’t apply to you. I can however witness you sign a document claiming that it is a True Copy. This is common for the Apostille process in NC.
