No Appointment.
Just Walk In.

1. The signer must be physically present

No phone calls. No video calls. No one signing on someone else’s behalf. You must be standing in front of the notary at the moment of signing. Notarizing a document for someone who is not physically present is a felony under Texas law — no exceptions, no workarounds, no “my husband is on the way.”

Yes, online remote notarization exists in Texas, but it’s a separate commission (RON) with its own platform requirements. We’re a walk-in notary, not a RON provider.

2. Valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID

One day expired is still expired. The ID must contain both a photo AND a signature on the same card. The notary verifies the ID against the signer in person — that’s what makes the notarization valid.

3. The signer must understand what they’re signing

A notary cannot notarize a document for someone who is intoxicated, sedated, under duress, or otherwise unable to understand what they’re signing. This is why we sometimes have to politely decline — it’s not personal, it’s the law.

Do I need an appointment for notary service?

No — walk in any time during business hours. Mon–Fri 9–6, Sat 10–4. The signer must be present with a valid, unexpired photo ID. Don't sign your document beforehand if you're unsure whether the notary needs to witness it — better to bring it unsigned and let us tell you.

Can I use a foreign passport?

Only in limited cases. Under Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §121.005(a)(3), a current foreign passport is acceptable ONLY for deeds or instruments related to residential real estate transactions — not for general notarizations. The foreign passport must also contain a valid US port of entry stamp from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to verify lawful presence. No CBP stamp, no notarization — no exceptions.

Can someone else sign on my behalf? Can I do it over the phone or video call?

No — under Texas law, the signer must be physically present in front of the notary at the time of signing. Notarizing a document for someone who is not physically present is a felony. No exceptions, no workarounds. Please don't ask — we take this seriously.

What about witnesses? Can you provide them?

Read your document carefully — many forms say 'notary OR witness,' meaning you may only need one or the other. However, if your document does require witnesses, please bring them with you. We cannot provide witnesses for your signing — that's by design, to avoid conflicts of interest.

Should I sign the document before I come in?

No. Bring it unsigned. The notary needs to either witness you signing it OR confirm that the signature already on it is yours. If you've already signed it incorrectly, in some cases we can still notarize with you re-acknowledging the signature, but the cleanest path is to bring it blank and sign in front of us.

How much does a notarization cost?

Standard Texas notary fee — set by state law (Texas Government Code §406.024). One flat fee per signature notarized, paid at the counter when the work is done. Cash, card, or debit accepted.

What kinds of documents do you commonly notarize?

Real estate documents (deeds, deeds of trust, releases), powers of attorney, affidavits, medical directives, custody and parental consent forms, vehicle title transfers, school enrollment forms, employment verification, and a long tail of business and personal documents. If your document has a notary block on it (a section that says 'Subscribed and sworn before me…' or similar), we can almost certainly notarize it.

Do you do mobile notary or online notary?

Walk-in only at this time. If you need mobile notary (we drive to you) or online remote notary (RON), call us — we can refer you to a trusted local notary who handles those, or let you know when our own mobile/online service launches.
