Mobile Notaries, State by State
Some signers won't use a video call — but they'll sign in person. A mobile notary travels to the signer, checks their ID, and notarizes on paper. This guide covers how it works and what it typically costs in each state.
When a mobile notary is the answer
Online notarization is fast, but it isn't for everyone. Older, rural, or less tech-comfortable signers often prefer to sign on paper with a person in front of them. For real-estate investors, that's frequently the seller. A mobile notary — found through your title company or a national notary directory — comes to them, verifies identity, and notarizes on the spot, usually for a flat fee plus travel.
Jurably doesn't dispatch mobile notaries. Every Jurably filing uses online notarization, and the document we record — a memorandum of contract — is signed by you alone, so the seller never has to be in the session. If some other document needs a wet signature, see getting a document signed in person.
