Your unsigned document and a current, unexpired government-issued photo ID for every signer. If the form names witnesses, bring them too — or ask us in advance.

How long does it take?

Most general notary appointments take 15–20 minutes from arrival to finished stamp.

Can you tell me which notarial act I need?

We can't give legal advice or choose the act for you, but if the form doesn't specify, we'll walk you through the difference between an acknowledgment and a jurat so you can decide. Sending the document ahead of time makes this quick.

It depends on the document and the agency requesting it. Many everyday forms need only a notary. If yours calls for witnesses, we can arrange them when available or verify witnesses you bring.

Can you notarize a vehicle title or bill of sale?

Yes. Titles, bills of sale, and DMV forms are among the most common documents we handle. Bring the title unsigned — signing before the appointment can void it.

Can you handle apostille preparation?

We notarize documents that are headed for apostille certification and can explain the next step with the Minnesota Secretary of State. We do not file the apostille itself.

Often, yes. Most Twin Cities appointments are filled the same day, frequently within a few hours. Submit a request or call and we'll confirm availability before anything is finalized.

Transparent pricing

Every appointment starts at $75.00 and includes up to two signers plus standard-area travel. A scheduling fee may be added to the base price based on when you'd like to meet — scheduling fees apply per appointment (not per document), and only the highest applicable fee is ever charged.

A $50 deposit reserves your appointment and is applied toward your final invoice. The balance is invoiced after the signing is complete.

Deposits become non-refundable if the appointment is canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled appointment time. Cancellations made 24 hours or more before the appointment are eligible for a refund of the deposit.
