Find & Compare Notaries Public in Your Area!

Notaries public witness signatures, verify the signer’s identity, administer oaths, and certify acknowledgments on deeds, powers of attorney, affidavits, vehicle titles, and school or travel consent forms. Many also work as loan signing agents for mortgage closings, travel to homes, hospitals, and offices as mobile notaries, or offer remote online notarization by video. Visitors to this page usually have a document that must be notarized by a deadline and need someone who can do it today.

Every state commissions notaries, and the commission can be checked with the secretary of state or equivalent office. Many states cap the fee per notarial act, so a mobile notary’s travel fee is usually the larger part of the bill; ask for both numbers up front. Confirm which government-issued ID they accept, whether every signer must appear in person, and whether they are authorized to do remote online notarization in your state if that is what you need. For a real estate closing, the title companies handling the deal usually arrange the signing agent, and estate planning professionals often keep a notary on staff.

Each notary on this page wrote their own listing, and a person reviewed it before publication. If you hold a notary commission, apply to get listed — free, and done in a few minutes.
