Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring?

Please have your unsigned document and a current government-issued photo ID or U.S. passport ready for each signer. Do not sign the document before the appointment. If a signer has no ID, a credible witness may be an option.

Will a notary come to me?

Yes. I serve the Energy Corridor, West Houston and Katy. Travel fees are separate from Texas notarial fees and are quoted at booking.

Can you help me complete my document or choose a form?

Preparing documents and selecting forms are outside a notary's role in Texas. Your attorney or the agency requesting the document can assist. I notarize the documents you provide.

Can you get an apostille for me?

Apostilles are issued only by the Texas Secretary of State. I notarize your document, submit the request on your behalf and return the apostilled document to you.

Do you serve legal papers?

Service of court papers is not currently offered. The court clerk can explain how to arrange service.

How long will you wait if I'm running late?

I cannot wait longer than 15 minutes after arrival, or a fee may apply. This policy does not apply to hospital visits.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. A deposit of 20% of the total price is required to book.
