Mobile Notary NYC

New York State sets the maximum notary fee per notarial act, and that regulated per-signature charge is the base of every invoice. A mobile notary adds a travel fee determined by your address and the time of the appointment. You receive a clear, itemized total when you book, before anyone travels, so there is never a surprise at the door.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx are covered as regular service areas, along with Long Island. Staten Island, Westchester, and select parts of New Jersey and Connecticut can often be arranged on request. If you are unsure whether your address is reachable, call and ask.

Appointments run Monday through Saturday, 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. We are closed on Sundays. Saturday appointments are available and fill quickly, so book ahead where you can. Holiday hours generally follow the weekday schedule but can vary, so call to confirm if your date falls on a holiday.

For most addresses within our regular service areas, arrival within about an hour of confirming the appointment is typical, subject to traffic and availability. If your matter is time-sensitive, say so when you call and we will tell you honestly whether the window is realistic.

Yes. Bedside notarization at hospitals, rehabilitation centers, hospices, and nursing homes is one of our most-requested services. The signer must be lucid, willing, and able to communicate their identity and their intent to sign. Facility visitation rules apply, so let us know the location in advance.

Notarization verifies the identity of the signer and witnesses the signature. An apostille is a separate certificate issued by the state that authenticates the notary's commission so the document can be accepted in another country. Documents bound for use abroad typically need both, and we handle the notarization and coordinate the authentication end to end.

Yes. New York permits remote online notarization by secure audio-video session, with identity verification performed on camera. It is a good fit when the signer cannot be met in person, though some receiving parties and some document types still require a traditional in-person notarization, so confirm the requirement first.

A current, unexpired, government-issued photo identification bearing a signature: a passport, a state driver's license or non-driver ID, a military ID, or a permanent resident card. Every person signing must present their own. Expired identification cannot be accepted.

No. Notary by Ella is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, select a document for you, or explain what a document means. A notary verifies identity and witnesses signatures. Please review the substance of your documents with legal counsel before the appointment.
