Go to a Notary vs Mobile Notary

A Notary is a Notary!

First off, a Texas Notary Public is just that a Notary. A mobile notary comes to you. You go to a notary if they have a store front or office location.

I don’t have a storefront or office location so I come to you. The fee for the notary transaction is regulated by the state and is the same either way. A convenience/travel fee is applied in addition to the notary fee when a notary comes to you.

Poor health, too busy, just don’t want too?

There are many reasons I get called to a location. Some examples are:

Are you unable to leave your home or assisted living facility.
In the hospital?
Busy day and it’s got to be done now? Executives call me to come to them because they don’t have time to leave the office.
Work from home or an executive suite? No extra staff to be a witness? You need a notary too?
Traveling and from out of town? Just moved to the area?

You’re able to go to a Notary

So, you can go to the notary. If you are in Plano, you may be too far away but there is normally a notary at two locations on 15th street in zip code 75075. I have done business with both as I go to one or the other when I need a notary. They are listed alphabetically.

The Mailroom (2701 W. 15th Street, Plano, TX 75075)
UPS Store (2024 W. 15th, Suite F, Plano, TX 75075)

The locations don’t have a website so I’ve linked to previous posts where each phone number has been listed.

Call ahead to other locations because not all UPS stores have notaries on staff.

So you need a notary, now what?

What Is The Procedure? 1. You need to know and understand what you are signing. I am not an attorney and I cannot draw up legal documents, explain their meaning or give you an opinion of them. 2. The signer and I must be in the presence of each other and I must see the…

I’m Mobile But You Can Come To Me

Update: Due to a change in circumstance, we no longer offer services at our location. I am primarily a mobile notary because most people who need me aren’t able to leave their home, hospital or nursing home. If you just need a notary and can come to me, call for availability. It’s easy to find…

Your call doesn’t go to an answering service.

Calls to me do not go to an answering service. They may go through different phone numbers based on where you found me but they all end up at one phone. The number is not my cell/mobile phone unless I call you back from my cell. I typically only return calls from my cell phone…

Telephone depositions and notaries

Some jurisdictions will allow testimony/deposition by phone when a witness cannot be in the same location as the court. The person must be properly identified by a notary public. In this case you aren’t actually putting your signature and seal on a document but you are verifying a person’s identity and in most cases placing…

Language and the Notary

It seems every day is a learning experience. A potential client calls and you go through the list, do you have valid ID, is the signer competent, where will I be going and so on. As our nation becomes more diverse, there are more calls from people needing documents from another country notarized. The next…
