Real estate documents
Mobile notary service for prepared real estate documents
Property documents are detail-sensitive. The names, legal descriptions, witness blocks, certificate wording, and return instructions should be complete before the mobile appointment begins.
Common requests
Prepared property documents and signing packets
Appointments may involve deeds, seller documents, affidavits, notices of commencement, occupancy forms, construction-related documents, or another prepared instrument requiring notarization.
The notary identifies signers and completes the indicated notarial act. The notary does not confirm ownership, draft a deed, correct a legal description, or advise on how title should be held.
Avoid re-signing
Confirm the receiving party's requirements first
Ask the title company, lender, contractor, county office, or document preparer to confirm the signing instructions before the appointment. Real estate documents can have state-specific certificate and witness requirements that should not be guessed at the table.
- Exact names should agree with the prepared document
- All pages and attachments should be present
- Witness instructions should be known in advance
- Return shipping, scanbacks, or filing remain separate services unless specifically arranged
Location flexibility
Meet where the transaction is easiest
A mobile signing can take place at a home, office, title office, construction site, or agreed public location. For gated communities, waterfront properties, barrier islands, and Boca Grande, include access details, ferry or toll considerations, and parking in the appointment request.

Visit all FAQsCan the notary fill in a deed or legal description?
No. The document must be prepared before the appointment. Questions about ownership, vesting, legal descriptions, or recording should go to the title company, attorney, clerk, or document preparer.
Can you notarize a notice of commencement at the job site?
A mobile appointment can be requested for a prepared notice of commencement at a home, office, or job site. Confirm the document is complete and ask the receiving authority whether any witnesses or additional steps are required.
Does notarization mean the document will be accepted for recording?
No. Notarization is one requirement. The clerk or receiving agency determines whether the document satisfies recording, formatting, payment, and other requirements.
