What this is & why it needs a notary

Real estate transactions routinely involve notarization. Deeds, deeds of trust and mortgages, refinance packages, and title transfers often carry a signature line that must be acknowledged before a notary. The notary confirms your identity and witnesses the signing — they do not prepare, review, or explain the document.

Whether a specific document must be notarized is set by your lender, title or escrow company, or your state. The party requesting the document, or an attorney, can confirm the requirements for your situation.

02

What to have ready

Before the notary arrives
  • Every signer present at the notarization.
  • A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID for each signer, with a name that matches the document.
  • The document complete but unsigned — you sign in front of the notary.
  • How many signatures need notarizing — count the signature lines.
  • If the document needs witnesses, the party requesting it will tell you; your notary can help you sort out the logistics.

Why a mobile notary fits

Real estate signings are often time-sensitive and involve documents you would rather not carry to a store counter. A mobile notary meets you at home, at your office, or at the title company — wherever the signing needs to happen.

04

What it costs

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 →

Questions signers ask

Which real estate documents need notarization?

Commonly deeds, deeds of trust or mortgages, and title transfers — but the requirement is set by your lender, title company, or state. Confirm with the party requesting the document.

Do all signers need to be present?

Yes. Everyone signing must be present at the notarization with a valid, unexpired photo ID.

Is this the same as a loan signing?

A full loan signing is a longer appointment that covers an entire closing package. If that is what you need, see our loan signing page.

Can the notary tell me what the documents mean?

No. A notary verifies identity and witnesses signatures; they cannot give legal advice. Ask the requesting party or an attorney.

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.
