How Mobile Notary Home Visits Work

You schedule a time, the notary drives to your home, performs the notarization at your kitchen table, and leaves with the job done.

House with front door and steps for mobile notary visit

Mobile notary service is exactly what it sounds like. The notary comes to you instead of you going to an office. When you book a home visit with NotaryLTD, you provide your home address, the number of documents to be notarized, the type of notarization needed, and your preferred date and time. We confirm the appointment, provide a total fee quote including travel, and arrive at your door ready to work.

The notarization process at your home is identical to what happens in a notary office. The notary verifies your identity using your government-issued photo ID, reviews the document, witnesses your signature or takes your acknowledgment, completes the notarial certificate, applies the purple ink seal, and records the transaction in their journal. The only difference is the location.

Home visits are popular for several reasons. Many people find it more convenient to stay home rather than driving to an office, especially during busy work weeks. Parents with young children appreciate not having to arrange childcare. Elderly individuals or people with mobility limitations may find it difficult to travel. And sometimes the documents are simply too sensitive or voluminous to transport easily.

NotaryLTD provides mobile notary home visits throughout Park City, Summit County, Wasatch County, and the Salt Lake City metro area. Our service area covers the entire Wasatch Front and we can accommodate same-day requests in most cases.

Home Visit Costs

A home visit costs up to $10 per notarial act plus $0.70 per mile round-trip travel from the notary's office to your home.

The cost of a home visit has two components. The notarial act fee is capped at $10 per act by Utah law. This is the same whether the notarization happens in an office or at your kitchen table. The number of acts depends on how many documents need notarization and the type of notarization each requires.

The travel fee covers the notary's transportation costs. It is calculated at the IRS standard mileage rate of $0.70 per mile, measured round-trip from the notary's office to your home. From NotaryLTD's Park City office at 1090 Center Dr, Suite 23, destinations within the Park City area incur minimal travel fees. Longer distances to Salt Lake City or Heber City cost more.

For a single notarization at a home within 10 miles of our office, your total might be $10 for the act plus $14 in travel, totaling $24. For two documents, it would be $20 for acts plus $14 in travel, totaling $34. The travel fee is charged once regardless of how many documents you have, so batching multiple notarizations into one visit gives you the best value.

We always provide your exact total before you confirm the appointment. Call 435-565-1333 or visit our pricing page for rates.

How to Prepare Your Home

Set up a table with good lighting, have your ID and documents ready, and ensure a quiet space for the signing.

You do not need to do anything special to prepare your home for a notary visit. The basic requirements are a flat surface for signing, such as a kitchen table, dining table, or desk, and adequate lighting so the notary can examine your identification and the documents clearly.

Have your valid government-issued photo ID readily accessible. Have your documents printed, complete, and organized. If any documents require a jurat, make sure they are unsigned. If they require only an acknowledgment, you may have them pre-signed if you prefer.

A quiet environment helps the appointment proceed smoothly. If you have small children, pets, or other potential distractions, try to minimize them during the signing. The notarization itself takes only 5 to 15 minutes per document, so the inconvenience is brief.

If other family members are co-signers on the documents, make sure they are home and ready at the scheduled time. Each signer needs their own valid ID. The notary will verify each person's identity independently. For detailed preparation guidance, visit our FAQ page.

Home Visit vs. Office Visit vs. RON

Choose a home visit for convenience, an office visit for lowest cost, or RON for speed and zero travel fees.

Each notarization method has its strengths. A home visit is ideal when you value convenience above all else, cannot easily leave your home, have multiple family members who need to sign, or are dealing with sensitive documents you prefer not to transport.

An office visit is the most cost-effective option because it eliminates travel fees entirely. If you are near our Park City office and have flexibility in your schedule, visiting us at 1090 Center Dr, Suite 23 saves you the travel fee component. We are open 7 days a week from 9 AM to 9 PM.

RON is the best choice when you are far from the notary's office, need the fastest possible turnaround, are comfortable with technology, and your documents are eligible for electronic notarization. At $25 per act with no travel fee, RON often costs less than a mobile home visit for locations more than 11 miles from the office.

NotaryLTD offers all three options and will recommend the one that best fits your situation. Whether you prefer the comfort of your living room, the efficiency of our office, or the convenience of your computer screen, we have you covered. Visit our mobile notary or RON services pages for more details.

Service Areas for Home Visits

NotaryLTD provides home visits throughout Park City, Summit County, Wasatch County, and the greater Salt Lake City metro area.

Our primary service area for mobile notary home visits includes all of Park City and the surrounding communities of Jeremy Ranch, Kimball Junction, Snyderville, Silver Creek, and Deer Valley. Within this area, travel fees are minimal and same-day appointments are almost always available.

We also serve the greater Summit County area including Coalville, Kamas, Oakley, Peoa, and Wanship. Wasatch County communities including Heber City, Midway, Charleston, and Daniel are within our regular service range as well.

For clients in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, we provide home visits throughout the valley from North Salt Lake to Draper and from Magna to the East Bench. Travel fees from Park City to SLC reflect the distance, and for many SLC locations our RON service may be the more economical choice.

We do not turn away clients based on location. If you are in Utah and need a mobile notary home visit, call us at 435-565-1333 and we will work out the logistics. For very distant locations, we may suggest RON as a more practical alternative, but the choice is always yours.
