Do you also need a witness?

As more and more new residents flood North Texas and DFW, I have more and more requests for witnesses. It is a challenge for new residents to find unrelated witnesses. Depending on the document, care facilities may allow certain employees to be witnesses but most do not.

As a mobile notary without a store front, I have been unable to provide witnesses. I have recently sought out people who are willing to be paid witnesses. As a general rule, if you are in 75075 zip code, the additional fee will be $40 per witness.

I am available as a witness. My minimum travel fee ($50) is based on zip code 75075 and the fee is the same whether I am a witness or notary. Most areas bordering 75075 are also considered my base travel area. Granite Parkway and Allen Commons may require an additional .25 hour fee.

I will add the fee to my charges so you only have one payment to make and I will pay the witness(es).

There is one drawback. Witnesses must be scheduled so rush appointments may not be available. I am working toward expanding my list of available witnesses so hopefully it will be easier to accommodate your request. If my schedule allows I can be the notary without significant notice.
