Hospital & Care Facility Visits
Hospital notary, at the bedside

What we handle

Before you book
Have these ready
- Each signer has a current, government-issued photo ID. A hospital wristband is not ID. If the ID is missing or expired, call us before booking.
- The signer is awake, alert, able to communicate, and choosing to sign.
- The document is complete, with no blank spaces, and has not been signed yet.
- You know which notarial certificate you need, or you've asked the agency or attorney receiving the document.
Good to know. We can't notarize for a signer who is sedated, confused, or unable to communicate their wishes, or for anyone being pressured. A family member can't sign for the patient or answer for them. If we have concerns, we'll stop and explain why, and there's no notary fee.
Questions
Can you come the same day?
Often, yes, within our scheduled hours. Same-day requests with under 3 hours' notice add a $50 rush fee. Call or text for anything urgent.
What if the patient's ID is at home or expired?
Call us before you book. We'll explain what California accepts so the visit isn't wasted.
Do you need permission from the hospital?
Most hospitals allow notary visits during visiting hours. Some units have their own rules, so check with the nurse's station before we arrive.
