What is mobile & in-home notary?
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.
People search for this in a dozen ways — a mobile notary, an at-home notary service, a notary that comes to you, a travelling notary, a notary on wheels — and they all describe the same visit. It is the right choice when you are elderly, recovering in hospital, living in a long-term care or retirement residence, have limited mobility, or simply cannot get away from home or work. The two documents we are asked to bring to people most often are a will and a power of attorney. Both must be signed in person before two qualifying witnesses and cannot be completed in an online appointment, so a home or bedside visit is frequently the only practical way to get them signed. Wherever we meet, the process matches 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. For a will or a power of attorney we also supply the second qualifying witness and prepare the affidavit of execution, so the signing is complete when we leave. Standard notarization is $24.95 per stamp/seal; wills and powers of attorney are $115 per document. Every mobile visit adds HST and a $60 travel fee charged once per trip (not per document). Visits run 7 days a week, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, including evenings and weekends. You book online, choose a morning, midday, or afternoon preference, and we confirm the exact date and time before the visit.

Why it matters
Why Choose a Mobile Notary?
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 will, 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. This matters most for estate documents: a will and a power of attorney must each be signed in person before two qualifying witnesses and cannot be completed in an online appointment, which is exactly what a housebound or hospitalised signer cannot arrange on their own. 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.

Pro tips before your visit
Quick tips to make your appointment go smoothly.
- 01
Don't Sign Beforehand
Leave documents unsigned. Anything requiring an oath or witnessing must be signed in front of the notary during the visit.
- 02
The Signer Must Be Capable
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.
- 03
Tell Us If It Is a Will or POA
Wills and powers of attorney need two qualifying witnesses. Say so when you book and we bring the second witness with us, so the signing is not held up.
- 04
Have the Documents Ready
Fill in the document details before the visit. We administer the oath and apply the seal — we do not draft or complete the document for you.
- 05
Confirm the Address & Access
Give us the full address and any access details (ward, room number, buzzer code) when you book so the visit runs smoothly.
