Last summer on Ventura Boulevard a couple's escrow file was missing a signature and the closing was that afternoon. We met at a nearby coffee shop, notarized the papers, and they closed on time. They still wave when they see us around town.

FAQs (quick answers)
What documents commonly need notarization?
Real estate deeds and escrow paperwork, affidavits, powers of attorney, medical consents, trust and estate documents, and loan signing packages. Confirm the required notarization type with your bank or escrow.
What ID do I need?
An unexpired government photo ID such as a California driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Bring unsigned documents and any required witnesses.
Are travel and after-hours fees extra?
Yes. California sets maximum notary fees for the act itself; mobile notaries add travel and may apply after-hours or holiday surcharges. We show total cost before booking.
Can a notary refuse to notarize?
Yes. Reasons include signer not present, inability to verify identity, duress, incomplete documents, or a conflict of interest.
What’s the difference between an acknowledgement and a jurat?
An acknowledgement confirms the signature is voluntary (used for deeds). A jurat includes an oath or affirmation and is used for affidavits.
Do you travel to hospitals, nursing homes, or hotels?
Yes. We provide HIPAA-aware visits and can arrange same-day or after-hours appointments when available; fees may apply.
Is RON available?
RON is available for many documents when the receiving party accepts electronic notarization. We verify acceptance before proceeding.
Can a notary notarize family members or documents where they have an interest?
Notaries should avoid notarizing documents where they have a direct financial or beneficial interest. Many also decline for immediate family. We disclose conflicts up front.
Can notaries certify copies of birth or marriage certificates?
No. Public vital records must be certified by the issuing agency. Notaries can certify some private document copies where allowed; ask and we will guide you to the correct office.
How do I verify a notary’s commission and bond?
Verify a California notary’s commission at the California Secretary of State Notary Public search[1]. You can also request the notary’s commission number and proof of E&O insurance.
What if a notarized document is rejected by a bank or escrow?
Contact the notary and the rejecting party immediately. Often it is a fixable issue. We review rejections, advise on next steps, and can re-notarize when required.
Local Tips for Sherman Oaks, CA
- Best meet-up spots: Ventura Boulevard cafés (quick curbside or patio signings) and the Sherman Oaks Galleria for validated parking and easy access.
- Hospital visits: Sherman Oaks Hospital and nearby medical centers require security check-in and patient consent — have room number and contact person ready.
- Parking and timing: Ventura Blvd is busiest during lunch (11:30–1:30) and evening rush (4–7pm). Allow extra time for parking or choose a side street with short-term parking.
- ID quirks: Bring an unexpired government photo ID and, if your name recently changed, supporting documents. Foreign passports are often acceptable but check with the receiving party in advance.
If you’d like, we’ll suggest an exact meetup spot near Ventura Blvd or coordinate directly with hospital or escrow staff to streamline your appointment.
