What we notarize

If a document needs a stamp, a witness, or an oath, bring it. Here's what comes up most.

Apostille service

Sending a document out of the country? Most receiving countries won't take it without an apostille attached first.

An apostille is a certificate that confirms our signature and seal as a Georgia notary are real, so a foreign government will actually accept your document. It's usually required for powers of attorney, adoption and custody paperwork, school transcripts and diplomas, and business documents headed overseas.

  1. We notarize it, if it isn't already. Most documents need a Georgia notary's signature and seal before they're eligible for an apostille at all. If yours isn't notarized yet, we handle that first.
  2. We hand-deliver it personally. Your document goes in person to the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority in Atlanta. Nothing gets mailed off and left to chance.
  3. Usually done same day. Walk-in processing typically takes under 20 minutes once we're at the counter.
  4. You get it back fast. We return your apostilled document to you as soon as it's issued.

Heads up: an apostille only works for countries in the Hague Apostille Convention. Sending a document somewhere outside it calls for a different process, called a Great Seal authentication, through a different Georgia office. Tell us the destination country when you book and we'll make sure you're getting the right one before you pay for anything.

Cost: $130 runner fee, plus Georgia's $3-per-document apostille filing fee. That state fee is one of the lowest in the country.

What it costs

Georgia law caps what a notary may charge for the notarial act itself, and requires us to post our fees. Travel is billed separately and quoted before you book. No surprises at the door.

Notarial acts (set by Georgia law)
Each signature notarized, oath, or jurat$2.00

"Each signature" means each notarial act, not each document or page. One person signing one document once is 1 notarization. Two people signing the same document is 2. One person signing two different documents is also 2. Multiple pages covered by a single signature and certificate still count as 1.

A $20 deposit is charged to your card at booking and applied toward your total. It's refunded in full if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead of your appointment; otherwise it's forfeited. The remaining balance can be paid by cash, Zelle, Cash App, or card at the appointment. If the signing can't be completed when we arrive (an expired or invalid ID, a missing signer, or blank spaces left in the document), the travel fee still applies, since the appointment time was reserved and the visit was completed.

How a booking works

  1. Pick a time online, or text us what you have. Document type, how many signatures, the address, and when. Booking online walks you through the same questions, and a photo of the first page works fine either way.
  2. We confirm personally. Every online request gets reviewed and confirmed before it's locked in. You'll get a confirmation once it's approved.
  3. You receive your total in writing. The travel fee plus $2 per signature, confirmed before we head your way.
  4. We show up and check ID. Bring an unexpired government photo ID. We watch every signature, stamp the document, and log the act.
  5. You pay and you're done. Most appointments take 10 to 20 minutes, however many documents you have.

How to prepare for your appointment

Having these ready in advance helps your appointment go smoothly.

Questions we get a lot

The ones people ask most, answered before you have to.

Do you actually come to me?

Yes. Homes, hospitals, offices, dealership lots, anywhere across metro Atlanta. We're available 24/7, since notary needs often come up after the bank's closed.

Does everyone need to be there in person?

Yes. Georgia law requires every signer to physically appear in front of the notary. We can't notarize over video, and we can't notarize for someone who isn't there.

Should I sign the document before you arrive?

No, leave it unsigned. We have to watch you sign for it to be valid, so sign in front of us, not before.

What counts as "one notarization"?

One notarial act, meaning one signature notarized. Not one document, not one page. If two people sign the same document, that's 2. If one person signs two different documents, that's also 2. But a document with several pages covered by a single signature and certificate still counts as 1.

What ID do I need?

An unexpired government photo ID for every person signing. Driver's license, passport, state ID, and military ID are acceptable.

Can you provide a witness?

Yes. If your document needs one and you don't have someone to bring, we can provide a witness for a $25 fee. Just let us know when you book.

How fast can you get here?

Most appointments are booked and completed same day. Need it within 3 hours? That's a same-day rush, for a $25 add-on to the travel fee.

How do I pay, and what if it doesn't work out?

A $20 deposit is charged to your card when you book, applied toward your total. It's refunded in full if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead of your appointment; otherwise it's forfeited. The remaining balance can be paid by cash, Zelle, Cash App, or card at the appointment. If the signing can't be completed when we arrive (an expired or invalid ID, a missing signer, or blank spaces in the document), the travel fee still applies, since the appointment time was reserved and the visit was completed.

Do you visit hospitals and nursing homes?

Yes. Hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, and rehab facilities are some of our most common calls. That visit is a flat $130, all-inclusive, instead of the usual travel-plus-signature breakdown. The only thing that can still add to it is a same-day rush fee.

What's the best way to book?

Get your price on the quote page, then pick your own time from there. We confirm every request personally, usually within a couple hours. Prefer to just text? Send us the document, the address, and when you need it, and we'll reply directly.

Can you help me get an apostille?

Yes. We notarize your document if it isn't already, then hand-deliver it to Georgia's apostille office in Atlanta, usually same day. See the full apostille section above for how it works and what it costs.
