Mobile Notary Services Notaries on 123notary.com offer mobile notary services as well as general notary services. Mobile notaries will visit your home, office, hospital room, or jail cell for a travel fee in addition to whatever their state allows them to charge for each notarization. State notary fees vary from state to state, and most states have a maximum charge per notary act or per notarized signature.

Loan signing notary services In addition to regular notarizations, notaries on 123notary.com usually are experienced with facilitating loan signings. If a notary has the green or orange/yellow certification icon next to their name on the search results, that means that they have passed a tough and grueling timed loan signing competency test which demonstrates their level of motivation and knowledge.
