Please provide the following information:
What kind of document?
NUMBER OF SIGNERS and TOTAL NUMBER OF SIGNATURES
Where is the signing taking place (address)? (so I may calculate mobile notary travel fee)

Are any witnesses required to sign your document? (if so, you must provide)
Do you and other signers have valid government issued photo ID? (absolutely required)
What Notary Certificate you will need for your document (if not already included)? (Notaries are not allowed to choose it for you)
DO NOT SIGN YOUR DOCUMENT BEFORE NOTARY ARRIVES!
FILL OUT ALL THE BLANK SPACES (Except the signature line and Notary Certificate part)
The Notary must be present to witness the signer signing the document. The only certificate that allows the Notary to certify a signature made in a previous date is an Acknowledgement.
For all the Notarial Acts (no exceptions) it is required that the signer physically appear in front of the Notary, show awareness and willingness to sign the document.

FEES: $15 per Notarial Act/Signature + Travel Fee*
A notary public may charge a travel fee when traveling to perform a notarial act if: (a) The notary public and the individual requesting the notarial act agree upon the travel fee in advance of the travel; and (b) The notary public explains to the individual requesting the notarial act that the travel fee is in addition to the notarial fee of $15 per notarial act and is not required by law.(WAC 308- 30-220).
Travel Fee: 35+(0.65x RT)
$35 flat fee plus 0.65 per mile* Round Trip(RT) to and from meeting point with client.
*2023 updated mileage rate by IRS
Example: client requested notarization for one signature, 10 miles away from my location:
