Mobile notary · San Diego, CA

A San Diego notary who works evenings and weekends.

I'm Justin Smiley, a California notary public. Banks shut at five and most notaries keep the same hours. I don't. I'll come to you after work or on the weekend, whether that's your kitchen table, your office or a hospital room.

Call or text and you'll hear back within the hour.

Why people call

Nobody looks for a notary on a good day

It's usually a deadline, a closing, or something a family member needs sorted out. Here's where I tend to come in.

The bank just closed

You got off work, the document’s due tomorrow, and everywhere that notarizes keeps the same hours you do. I don’t. Evenings are when I work.

A parent’s in the hospital

A power of attorney or an advance directive that can’t wait for Monday. I know how to be quiet and quick in a room that already has enough going on.

You can’t take time off

Don’t burn a vacation day to get one page stamped. Saturday morning at your kitchen table costs you nothing but the fee.

What I do

Two things, done properly

I don't claim to do everything. General notary work and loan signings, and I keep the credentials current for both.

Journal, seal, and the right certificate. Every time.

Mobile general notary

Powers of attorney, advance directives, affidavits, car titles, school and travel forms. I meet you at home, at work, at the hospital, or at a coffee shop down the street.

Loan signing agent

Purchases, refinances, HELOCs, reverse mortgages and seller packages. Evening and weekend closings, for borrowers who can’t take a weekday off.

No phone call required

You can see what it costs right now

Most notary sites make you call to find out the price. Mine doesn't. The statutory fee, the travel fee by neighborhood, and the short list of things that ever get added. It's all here.

Why clients call back

Prepared, bonded, and easy to get hold of

Most notary headaches come down to the same three things. Someone turns up unprepared, the price changes, or nobody answers the phone. I built this around not doing that.

  • Evenings and weekends at the normal rate, no after-hours premium
  • I come to you: home, office, hospital or care facility
  • Every fee is published here, before you call
  • Call or text and you hear back within the hour
  • $15,000 surety bond, as California law requires
  • You deal with me start to finish, not a dispatcher

Documents I notarize

A partial list. If yours isn't here, just ask.

  • Powers of attorney
  • Advance directives & living wills
  • Affidavits & sworn statements
  • Deeds & property transfers
  • Parental consent & travel letters
  • Bills of sale & vehicle titles
  • Trust & estate documents
  • Contracts & business agreements
  • I-9 employment verification
  • Permission slips & school forms

Bring a government photo ID that's current, or was issued in the past five years. Leaving the document unsigned is the safe bet: some notarial acts need you to sign in front of me, and waiting costs nothing.

Where I go

Serving San Diego and nearby

I travel within 15 miles for signings. If you're just past the edge, call anyway. Going further out is often still doable.
