Roxy Notary Co.

Just two things: your document — complete, with no blank spaces — and a current, government-issued photo ID. That's it. I bring everything else: my journal, my seal, and the patience to walk you through each step.

No — please wait! This is the most common mistake I see. Many documents must be signed in front of me to be valid, and if you've already signed, we may need a fresh copy. The safe rule: don't sign anything until we're sitting together.

A California driver's license or ID card, a U.S. passport, a foreign passport, a military ID, or a driver's license from another state — current, or issued within the last five years. A Mexican or other consular-issued passport works too. No acceptable ID? Call me before booking — California has an alternative process using credible witnesses, and I can tell you if it fits your situation.

Three things: I verify that you are who you say you are, that you're signing willingly, and that you're aware of what you're signing. That's what the notarization certifies — your identity and your intent. It's a small act that protects you from fraud and makes your document trusted anywhere it goes.

I can't — and a notary who offers to is a red flag. I am not acting as an attorney and cannot give legal advice about your document. What I can do is make sure the notarization itself is done perfectly, so your document isn't rejected over a technical mistake. For what the document means, ask the person or office that gave it to you.

Sí, completamente. La ley de California exige que yo me comunique directamente con usted — sin intérprete. Hablo español con fluidez, así que todo el proceso, desde su primera llamada hasta la firma, puede ser en español. / Yes — California law requires that I communicate with you directly, no interpreter. The entire process can happen in Spanish, from your first call to the final signature.

Yes, and I do it with extra care. Two things need to be true: the signer must have valid ID (or credible witnesses), and they must be alert enough to understand and communicate what they're signing — that's the law, and it protects your loved one. If medication or condition makes timing tricky, call me and we'll plan the appointment around their best hours.

Some documents — like certain wills, trusts, and healthcare directives — require witnesses in addition to the notary, and those witnesses generally must be adults who aren't named in the document. Tell me what type of document you have when you book, and I'll tell you exactly who needs to be in the room.

No mystery here: California law sets the notarial fee at $15 per notarized signature, and my flat travel fees are published right on this page. Use the quote calculator above — ten seconds, and you'll know your total before you ever call me.
