Why Hire a Mobile Notary at all?

• NO Hidden Costs! CMNPs tell you in advance exactly what they charge, travel included.

• Frankly, if you can travel during normal business hours to your nearby bank or mail box service, they probably have a notary who can do the work for less.  If not, call us.

• We travel to you, so you can gather all your signers and documents in one place, even in the middle of the night, and we will be there.

• We provide no hassle notary service statewide for legal firms freeing them from daily worry about finding notaries in far flung locations.
