CAN I GET SOMETHING NOTARIZED WITHOUT LEAVING MY HOUSE?
The answer is YES!! Thanks to modern technology and mobile notary services, getting a document notarized has never been more convenient. Whether you are recovering from surgery, caring for a loved one, have limited transportation, or simply prefer to stay home, there are options that allow you to complete your notarization safely and legally.
Option 1: Mobile Notary Service
A mobile notary travels to your location, whether it’s your home, workplace, hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility, or another agreed-upon location.
This is a great option if:
You have mobility challenges
You don’t have reliable transportation
You have a busy schedule
You need several family members to sign documents together
You prefer the convenience of an appointment at your location
A mobile notary can help with documents such as:
Powers of Attorney
Wills (the notary notarizes signatures - not the contents of the will)
Healthcare Directives
Affidavits
Real estate documents
Vehicle title paperwork
Permission forms for children traveling
Many other documents that require notarization
Option 2: Remote Online Notarization (RON)
If your document qualifies, you may not even need someone to come to your home. Remote Online Notarization allows you to meet with a commissioned online notary through a secure video conference using your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
During the appointment, you’ll:
Verify your identity using approved security measures.
Meet with the notary by live video
Electronically sign your document

Remote Online Notarization is an excellent option for people who travel frequently, have busy schedules, live in rural areas, or simply enjoy the convenience of completing important paperwork from home.
