Whether you need a signature verified, a sworn affidavit, or an acknowledgment, we ensure accuracy and quality service with every client.
Mobile Notary Services
We provide mobile notary services for clients who need us at their home, office, hospital, or another convenient location. We notarize a wide variety of documents, including powers of attorney, affidavits, deeds, and loan documents. Our focus is on making the process easy, accurate, and respectful of your time — especially when urgent or sensitive matters are involved.
Hospital & Assisted Living Notary Services
Hospital notarizations call for patience, compassion, and flexibility. We work closely with patients, families, and staff to complete notarizations for documents like medical directives, powers of attorney, or estate paperwork accurately and in accordance with legal requirements, while also respecting the unique circumstances of each situation. We approach each appointment with patience and professionalism, focused on creating a calm and supportive experience as much as possible during a difficult, emotional time.
Estate Plan
Signing Services
We work closely with clients and attorneys to notarize wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced healthcare directives. Estate plan signings often involve multiple parties, and our role is to guide everyone through the documents carefully and ensure every signature and notarization is done correctly. We offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, to support families during these important moments.
Apostille, Authentication & Embassy Services
We help clients with apostilles and authentications for documents going overseas, providing guidance and support throughout the apostille and authentication process. Whether for personal, business, legal, or academic use. Our role is to make sure your paperwork is properly prepared and submitted so that it’s accepted abroad without delays. We handle everything from birth and marriage certificates to powers of attorney, corporate documents, and adoption papers. For non-Hague countries, we manage the full authentication process, including embassy and consulate legalization. We simplify what can otherwise feel like a complicated process.
Residential & Commercial Loan Signings
We handle both residential and commercial loan signings, which means we work with everything, including home purchases, mortgages, refinances, HELOCs, and larger commercial real estate transactions. Our role is to make sure the loan documents are completed correctly, signed, dated, and notarized without errors that could delay funding. Because every transaction is unique, we offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, so clients can meet at a time that works best for them while meeting tight deadlines. We work with individual homeowners, lenders, title companies, escrow officers, and attorneys. Our focus is always on making the process smooth and efficient.
Adoption Notary Services - Domestic & International
We provide notary and document legalization support for families, adoption attorneys, and agencies involved in domestic and international adoptions. Our services cover notarization of adoption agreements, parental consent forms, agency disclosures, court petitions, and termination of parental rights documents.
We also assist with dossier preparation to ensure your adoption paperwork is complete, accurate, and accepted by foreign governments. Our approach is organized, compassionate, and focused on getting everything right the first time, helping to make the adoption document process smooth and less stressful for families.
General & Specialty
Notary Services
We provide general and specialty notarizations for both individuals and businesses. Alongside common documents like affidavits, powers of attorney, and deeds, we also handle more unique requests such as biotech research documents, clinical trial affidavits, franchise agreements, patent and trademark documents, cross-border business contracts, and embassy-required paperwork. No matter how routine or unique the request, we bring professionalism and flexibility, meeting you wherever you are to keep the process smooth and efficient.
Important Limitations of Notarial Services
At The Apostille & Notary Experts, we’re committed to providing a smooth, professional, and stress-free notary experience. To ensure every notarization complies with state and federal law, it’s important to understand what a Notary Public can—and cannot—do.
While we’re happy to guide you through the notarization process, there are certain limitations we’re legally required to follow. These boundaries are in place to protect both you and the integrity of your documents.
We kindly ask that you review the following restrictions before your appointment:
We cannot accept identification that is expired (issued over 5 years ago), damaged, taped, missing key information, or contains a photo or description that does not reasonably match the signer.
We cannot accept digital copies or screenshots of an ID, driver’s license or passport on a cell phone. Identification must be physical, tangible, and government-issued.
We cannot notarize documents unless all signers are physically present and able to communicate clearly and directly with the notary.
We cannot use interpreters during the notarization. The signer must communicate in a language the notary understands. This ensures the notary can confirm understanding and willingness without relying on a third party.
We will not proceed if the signer appears unaware of what they are signing or is unable to understand it.
We are not attorneys and therefore cannot offer legal advice or real estate-related advice, guidance, or interpretations.
We cannot provide or prepare documents for you. All paperwork must be completed, reviewed, and ready at the time of the appointment.
We will not notarize documents that contain:
Blank lines, empty fields, or unchecked boxes
Missing pages or required attachments
Name discrepancies between the document and the signer’s ID (such as suffixes like Jr., Sr., III, etc.)
We also cannot complete a notarization without proper identification, required witnesses, or a valid verbal oath/affirmation when applicable.
If you're unsure whether your documents or ID meet these requirements, please don’t hesitate to call us before scheduling your appointment. We're here to help you prepare properly, so everything goes smoothly during service.

A Notary's Authority
As a Notary, we uphold a vital position in the legal and business industry. Our role, often perceived as simply “Signing or notarizing a document,” is in fact a complex and critical duty. Each day, we face situations where our decisions challenge the expectations of our clients or their family members. Being a notary means taking on a public responsibility to safeguard against fraud and uphold the integrity of the legal process. How? We're glad you asked!
We adhere to our professional and legal obligations with integrity, fairness, and transparency, not just when it's convenient but especially when it's complicated.
Our clients entrust us with their legal and personal affairs, and in return, we honor that trust by performing our duties in an impartial, diligent, and thorough manner. When faced with difficult decisions, we do what's right, even if it's not the easiest choice.
The law mandates that we verify a signer's identity through satisfactory evidence. This duty is non-negotiable. As notaries, we cannot waive these requirements based on convenience, relationship, or even pressure from a client or customer.
As notaries, we are public officials bound by an oath to the Secretary of State to serve impartially. We are expected to decide based on what's right, even when the law doesn't provide clear direction.
We promise to uphold the California Secretary of State's laws and duties, serve without bias, and perform our duties faithfully. This oath is not conditional on whether or not our work is recognized, praised, or even appreciated by others.
We do the right thing even when no one is watching because we've sworn an oath to serve.
