Booking

To ensure the best experience, please book your appointment online and provide all required details. This helps us gather the necessary information for your appointment. If your booking involves a real estate transaction, such as a refinance, sale, purchase, home equity line of credit, reverse mortgage, or loan modification, please choose Loan Signing so we can assign a loan signing agent to your order.

You can choose to add the notarial fee during booking if you know how many notarizations are needed. If you're unsure or need additional notarizations, the notary will collect the balance at the time of the appointment. Please note that notarial fees, including those for remote online notarizations, are non-refundable.
