YES. Tex law prohibits a Notary from notarizing a signature if the signer is not physically present.

NOTE: TX does allow for Remote Online Notarizations. Users must have access to the internet and video feed for physical identification.

Mobile Notaries travel to the location of your choice in order to fulfill notarial duties. Appointments can be arranged at a residence, office, hotel, airport, nursing home, hospital, restaurant, film set, coffee shop, or any other location you request.

NO. I do not have a physical location that you can come to. Any address displayed is for written correspondence and mailing purposes only. My service is strictly mobile and by appointment only.

Among the IDs authorized for use by Texas Notaries are: State driver’s and official nondriver’s IDs, U.S. passports, U.S. military IDs, and resident alien IDs or “green cards” issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. IDs must be current (unexpired) and contain a photograph and a signature of the bearer.

NOTE: In residential real estate transactions ONLY, a current passport issued by a foreign country can be used.

TX Notaries may also use personal knowledge of the signer, or you may bring two creditable witnesses to the signing. A credible witness must either personally know the Notary or must present to the Notary a valid, unexpired ID AND must know the signer well enough to be able to swear or affirm the signer’s identity before the Notary.

NO. Don't remove the staple from the document! If the staple is removed (whether your documents came stapled or I have stapled a form to the signature page), you risk a third party refusing to accept the document, as it may appear that the document has been tampered with.

Birth and Death Certificates, marriage licenses, or any recordable documents; photographs; copied or faxed signatures; documents with blanks or missing information; or documents where the name does not match the ID.

NOTE: We cannot backdate or forward date a notarization. The date it is created or becomes effective can be different, but the document is notarized with the date of the day of the notarization.

NO. Electronic Notarization, or eNotarization, involves documents that are notarized in electronic form, and the Notary and document signer sign with an electronic signature. But all other elements of a paper notarization apply to eNotarization, including the requirement for the signer to physically appear before the Notary.

Remote Notarizations typically involve digital documents that are signed and notarized electronically. However, they go a step further in that the transaction is conducted online via webcam rather than in person.
