Mobile Notary FAQs for Northeast Ohio | Assurance

Question 1

What is a mobile notary?

Accepted Answer

A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to your location — your home, office, hospital, or any convenient place — to notarize your documents. Instead of you coming to us, we come to you.

Question 2

What areas do you serve?

We proudly serve Summit, Medina, Stark, and Portage County in Northeast Ohio. This includes cities like Akron, Canton, Medina, Ravenna, and the surrounding communities. Not sure if we cover your area? Just give us a call at (888) 664-4042.

Question 3

What are your hours?

Accepted Answer

We are available 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends. We understand that important documents don't always wait for business hours, so we do our best to accommodate your schedule.

Question 4

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can book online using our Booking & Contact form, or call us directly at (888) 664-4042. We'll confirm your appointment and let you know exactly what to have ready before we arrive.

Question 5

What do I need to bring or have ready?

Accepted Answer

You'll need a valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, or state ID) and the documents that need to be notarized. Do not sign the documents beforehand — signatures must be made in the presence of the notary.

Question 6

Can I sign the documents before the appointment?

Accepted Answer

No — please do not sign your documents before the notary arrives. Notarization requires that signatures be made in the presence of the notary. Pre-signed documents cannot be notarized and you may need to obtain new copies.

Question 7

How long does a notary appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Most standard notarizations take 15–30 minutes. Loan signings and real estate closings typically take 60–90 minutes depending on the volume of documents. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.

Question 8

Where can we meet?

Accepted Answer

Anywhere that works for you — your home, workplace, a coffee shop, a hospital room, a care facility, or a library. We're flexible and will travel to the location most convenient for you.

Question 9

What types of documents can you notarize?

Accepted Answer

We notarize a wide range of documents including loan packages, real estate closing documents, powers of attorney, wills and trusts, affidavits, medical directives, contracts, and general acknowledgments. If you're unsure whether your document qualifies, just ask.

Question 10

Do you handle loan signings and real estate closings?

Accepted Answer

Yes — loan signings and real estate closings are among our most common services. We work with lenders, title companies, and borrowers to ensure all documents are signed correctly, completely, and on time.

Question 11

Can you notarize documents for someone in a hospital or care facility?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We regularly visit hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and rehabilitation centers. We understand these situations can be time-sensitive and emotionally difficult, and we approach every visit with care and compassion.

Question 12

What is an apostille and do you assist with that?

Accepted Answer

An apostille is an official certification that authenticates a document for use in another country. We assist with apostille notarizations and can help guide you through the process with the Ohio Secretary of State.
