Many formal documents require that a notary public be present when they are signed. These include papers related to legal matters, real estate, estate planning, and other business transactions. Notarization confirms that each individual signing it is who they state they are, and that they have signed the documents willingly.
However, there may be situations when it is difficult to physically visit a notary. In those cases, a traveling notary is a valuable resource.
When Is a Traveling Notary Helpful?
A traveling notary, sometimes called a mobile notary, comes to an agreed-upon location such as a home or workplace to perform notarization services. Depending on the document and circumstances, they can witness signatures, administer oaths or affirmations, and verify the identity of the person signing.
A traveling notary is especially useful in situations when:
- A legal team needs documents notarized at an office
- Multiple parties need to sign documents at the same location
- A signer has limited transportation or mobility
- Documents need to be completed on a tight schedule
- Leaving the workplace to find a notary would interrupt a busy day
For law firms and other organizations handling large volumes of paperwork, bringing a traveling notary to the signer can simplify the legal process and reduce scheduling challenges.
