    FAQs

    We understand that arranging a notarization in a hospital or care facility often comes during an already stressful time. Hospital and care facility notarizations often involve unique circumstances and important questions. Our goal is to provide compassionate, professional service while making the notarization process as straightforward as possible. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive to help you prepare for your appointment with confidence.


    Can you come directly to the hospital room?

    Yes. We regularly provide mobile notary services at hospitals throughout Los Angeles County. Please let us know the hospital name, room number (if available), and any visitor requirements when scheduling your appointment.

    Can you notarize documents in an assisted living or skilled nursing facility?

    Absolutely. We regularly travel to assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, hospice facilities, and private residences to provide mobile notary services.

    What identification is required?

    California law requires the signer to present acceptable, unexpired government-issued identification before a notarization can be completed. If you’re unsure whether the available identification meets California requirements, please contact us before your appointment.

    Does the signer need to be alert and willing to sign?

    Yes. California law requires every signer to be aware of what they are signing, willing to sign voluntarily, and able to communicate directly with the notary at the time of the notarization.

    Can a family member sign for the patient?

    No. Documents requiring notarization must be signed by the individual whose signature is being notarized. A family member cannot sign on another person’s behalf unless legally authorized to do so and the document permits it.

    Do all estate planning documents require notarization?

    No. Your attorney or document preparer will determine which documents require notarization under applicable law.

    Do I need an Ombudsman if my loved one is in a skilled nursing facility?

    If an Advance Health Care Directive is being signed in a California skilled nursing facility, state law generally requires the facility’s Patient Advocate or Ombudsman to complete the required witness certification. Please coordinate with the facility before your appointment to ensure the appropriate representative is available.

    Can you provide witnesses?

    If your documents require witnesses, please let us know when scheduling your appointment. We may be able to arrange qualified witnesses for an additional fee.

    Do you offer same-day appointments?

    When availability permits, we do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day hospital and care facility notarizations.

    What if the signer is unable to sign their name?

    In some situations, California law allows a signer who is physically unable to sign to direct another person to sign on their behalf. This process has specific legal requirements. Please contact us before scheduling so we can discuss your situation.

    Will you explain the documents?

    No. As a California Notary Public, I cannot provide legal advice or explain the legal effect of documents. Any questions about the documents should be directed to the attorney or document preparer.

    What if my loved one is no longer able to communicate?

    California law requires the signer to be aware of what they are signing, willing to sign voluntarily, and able to communicate directly with the notary. If you’re unsure whether your loved one is able to complete a notarization, please contact us before scheduling to discuss the situation.
