Court, immigration, insurance, and identity affidavits — a commissioned notary administers the oath and comes to you.
An affidavit is a written statement you swear or affirm is true. For most affidavits, the notary administers an oath or affirmation and completes a jurat — which means you sign the document in the notary's presence. Affidavits appear in court filings, immigration paperwork, insurance claims, and identity verification.
The notary witnesses the oath and the signature and verifies your identity. They do not write the statement or advise on its contents — that comes from the requesting party or an attorney.
Affidavits are often needed on short notice for a filing deadline. A mobile notary comes to your home or office, administers the oath, and completes the jurat on the spot.
Two things set the price, and both are itemized. Your state sets and caps the notarial act fee — the official per-signature charge, added at the visit. The notary sets a travel fee to come to you. You see the itemized price before you approve the booking — no "call for a quote." See what notaries can legally charge in your state →

A notary witnesses your oath and signature. They cannot give immigration advice or act as an immigration consultant.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Whether a document needs notarization, and any witness or state-specific requirements, is set by the party requesting it or by your state — confirm with them or an attorney. A notary verifies identity and witnesses signatures; they do not prepare, interpret, or advise on documents.
