At home
Kitchen table, front porch, wherever is comfortable. Common for estate paperwork and powers of attorney.
Mobile general notary
I bring the notary to you
Most people need a notary at an inconvenient moment — a parent in the hospital, a closing deadline, a form due tomorrow. That is exactly when travel is worth paying for.
Where I meet you
Anywhere the signer can be
Hospitals & care facilities
Advance directives and POAs, coordinated around visiting hours and staff. I am used to working quietly in a shared room.
Offices & job sites
I-9 verifications, contracts, and corporate resolutions handled without pulling your team away for an afternoon.
Anywhere neutral
Coffee shops, libraries, hotel lobbies, parking lots. If both parties can meet there, I can notarize there.
Before I arrive
What to have ready
Ninety percent of failed signings come down to one of these four things. A minute of checking now saves a second trip later.
- A valid, unexpired government photo ID for every signer
- The complete document, unsigned — I have to witness the signature
- Any additional witnesses your document requires
- The name on your ID matching the name on the document
What it costs
- Per notarized signature
- $15
- Travel — Central San Diego
- $50
- Travel — Greater San Diego
- $80
- Travel — Beyond 15 miles
- Quoted
Travel fees vary with distance and time of day. You always get an exact quote before anything is booked — no surprises at the table.
The per-signature fee is set by California law. Travel is a separate service that the state does not regulate, so I publish mine rather than making you ask.

This trips people up more than anything else. The name on your ID has to reasonably match the name on the document. "Robert J. Smith" on the ID signing as "Bob Smith" is usually fine. "Robert Smith" signing a document made out to "Roberta Smith" is not.
If you recently married, divorced, or the lender printed your name wrong, tell me when you call. It is almost always fixable ahead of time and nearly impossible to fix at the table.
