A vetted notary at your door in under 90 minutes — or on your screen in 15. Real estate signings, POAs, affidavits, vehicle titles. Flat pricing, verified IDs, official record.
Most people google "notary near me" at 4pm on a Friday and end up calling four banks. Smoothquill is built for those moments — you have a document, you need it notarized, and you'd rather not drive to a UPS Store hoping the one notary on shift hasn't gone to lunch.
POA, deed, affidavit, vehicle title, parental consent, loan signing — we know which fields need stamping. The app tells you exactly what to bring (or upload, for RON).
A vetted notary nearby accepts within minutes. You see their photo, commission number, and reviews before they leave the curb. Or hop into a live RON session in 15.
They verify your ID, witness the signature, stamp the document, and log the act in their journal. Digital copy delivered to your phone in the same hour.
Getting it notarized isn't the same as getting it done right. By some estimates, a sizable share of notarizations contain errors — the wrong certificate, a missing seal, an unclear stamp — that get documents rejected and send people back to start over. Smoothquill matches your document to a vetted notary who handles that type, with reviews and a visible track record. The point isn't just speed. It's that it holds up.
Smoothquill covers every common notarial act. Loan signings get priority routing to NNA-certified signing agents on the platform.

Free · AnytimePrices below are Smoothquill's service fee — what you pay us to bring a vetted notary to you, on your schedule. The notary's official per-signature fee is set and capped by your state and added at the visit; it's usually small, and your state guide lists the exact amount.
Smoothquill routes real signings to vetted notaries — mobile mornings, RON evenings, loan signings on weekends. You set your hours, your radius, and your stop-cap. We bring the demand and handle the billing.
Most signing services pocket 30–40% and route you whatever's left over after their best people pick first. Smoothquill flips that: clear posted rates, transparent splits, and a route you actually own.
In most states the process is straightforward — often no exam and no training course required. Many people are commissioned within 2–4 weeks of starting. Here's the general path; check your state's guide for exact requirements.
Two questions worth settling first: working across state lines and whether you need an LLC.
If your state requires a surety bond, you can get one from any licensed insurance agent or online provider. We have an affiliate that's pre-vetted.
Complete the application through your state's Secretary of State (or commissioning authority) portal.
Some states require an existing notary to witness your application or an oath of office — check your state's requirements.
Send your application (and bond, if required) to the Secretary of State. Commissions typically arrive within a few weeks.
Order a state-compliant stamp once your commission arrives. Then come back and join Smoothquill.

It's a real risk with notarization — by some estimates, a sizable share of notarized documents contain errors (wrong certificate, missing seal, an unclear stamp) that cause the receiving office to reject them. Smoothquill works to prevent that: we match your document to a vetted notary who handles that type, and every notary carries reviews and a visible completion record. Getting it done right the first time is the whole point.
It depends on your document and who's receiving it. Some documents and some receiving offices require an in-person notarization; others accept remote online notarization (RON). When you book, Smoothquill asks about your document and recommends the safer option — and if you're unsure, an in-person mobile visit is accepted everywhere.
You pay Smoothquill's service fee for bringing a vetted notary to you, on your schedule. The notary's official per-act fee is set and capped by your state and added at the visit — billed at cost, no markup from us. No "call for a quote": pricing is posted before you book.
