If you've never worked with a mobile notary before, you might be wondering: How does it work? What do I need to bring? Will they come to my home or office?
At Matt Miller Mobile Notary, we bring fast, professional, and legally compliant notarization directly to your door — whether you're at home, at the hospital, or closing a real estate deal at a local coffee shop.
Here’s exactly what to expect when you book a mobile notary appointment in San Francisco:
✅ 1. Scheduling Your Appointment
You can call, text, or request an appointment through our website. We'll ask a few quick questions to make sure we're prepared:
How many documents need notarization?
How many signers are involved?
Where should we meet?
Do you need the document apostilled?
We offer same-day appointments in most areas of San Francisco and are available 7 days a week — including weekends.
📍 2. Choosing a Location
Unlike a traditional notary service, you don’t need to come to us — we come to you. Common meeting locations include:
Your home or apartment lobby
Your workplace
Hospitals or care facilities
Coffee shops or libraries
Title or law offices
If you're not sure where to meet, we’re happy to suggest a quiet, convenient spot nearby.
🪪 3. Preparing for the Appointment
Here’s what you’ll need:
The document(s) to be notarized — completely filled out, but not yet signed
A valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID)
Any witnesses, if your document requires them (we can advise in advance)
Payment — We accept cash, check, card, Zelle, and other methods
If the signer is elderly or receiving medical care, we may also check for awareness and willingness, as required by law.
✍️ 4. During the Appointment
The mobile notary will:
Confirm your identity
Review the document and determine the correct notarial act (e.g., acknowledgment or jurat)
Administer any required oath or affirmation
Complete the notarial certificate and affix the official seal
Record the transaction in their notary journal
Each appointment typically takes 10–20 minutes, depending on the number of documents and signers.
🧾 5. After the Appointment
Once notarization is complete:
You’ll keep the original document(s)
We’ll securely retain the journal entry as required by California law
If apostille processing is needed, we’ll handle the follow-up through the California Secretary of State and provide tracking
For real estate transactions or sensitive legal matters, we also provide confirmation to attorneys or escrow agents if requested.
