A mobile notary is a Notary Public who travels to your location to commission and notarize documents instead of asking you to come to an office. This is ideal when you are elderly, recovering in hospital, living in a long-term care or retirement residence, have limited mobility, or simply can't get away from home or work. Wherever we meet, the process is the same as an in-office appointment: we verify your government-issued photo ID, administer the oath or affirmation, witness your signature, and apply our official Ontario Notary Public seal. We commonly attend bedside signings for powers of attorney, statutory declarations, and affidavits, working respectfully with family members, care staff, and hospital schedules. Our flat rate of $19.90 per seal applies the same as in office; any travel arrangement is confirmed up front when you book so there are no surprises.

Why it matters
Not everyone can travel to a notary's office. Hospital patients, residents of long-term care and retirement homes, people recovering from surgery, and those with mobility challenges often still need urgent documents notarized — a power of attorney, a statutory declaration, a consent form. A mobile notary removes that barrier by bringing the same legally valid service to your location. The notarization carries exactly the same weight as one done in an office: identity is verified, the oath or affirmation is administered, the signature is witnessed, and the official seal is applied. For families managing a parent's affairs or an unexpected hospital stay, an in-home or bedside visit is often the only practical way to get a time-sensitive document signed properly.
Straightforward process. Most appointments completed in minutes once we're face to face.
Call or book online with your address and the documents you need notarized. We confirm the time and any travel arrangement up front.
The notary travels to your home, hospital room, care residence, or office at the agreed time. Bring the unsigned documents and your photo ID.
We verify your valid government-issued photo ID and confirm you understand the document and are signing freely.
Where required, you swear or affirm the document is true, then sign it in front of the notary.
The notary signs and applies the official seal on the spot. You keep your notarized documents before we leave.
What to bring
Please ensure you have the following items when you visit.
Quick tips to make your appointment go smoothly.
Leave documents unsigned. Anything requiring an oath or witnessing must be signed in front of the notary during the visit.
For a bedside or in-home signing, the person signing must be alert and able to understand the document and sign of their own free will.
Fill in the document details before the visit. We administer the oath and apply the seal — we do not complete the document for you.
Give us the full address and any access details (ward, room number, buzzer code) when you book so the visit runs smoothly.
Is This For You?

We can attend your office to notarize corporate or commercial documents without disrupting your day.
