What to Expect During a Mobile Notary Appointment

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 ProActive 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 Houston:

✅ 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 Houston and are available 7 days a week — including weekends and Holidays.

📍 2. Choosing a Location

Flexible location choices for notary service, you come to us OR 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, zelle, venmo, cash app, paypal, and major credit cards (plus 3% transaction fee)

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 5–30 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 Texas law

• If apostille processing is needed, we’ll handle the follow-up through the Texas 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.
