Commissioned California notary public serving Los Angeles County. Meet me in Venice with no travel fee, or I travel to you — your home, your office, a hospital or a care facility. Powers of attorney, deeds, affidavits, trust and estate documents, travel consent forms, and apostille processing. Loan signings by arrangement with title and escrow.
Meet me in Venice. By appointment at an arranged spot — no travel fee, often same day. Or I travel to you. Home, office, hospital, care facility, anywhere in LA County — travel quoted before I leave. Either way, bring the document and valid ID; I bring everything else.
Identification All signers must present valid, current government-issued photo identification at the time of the appointment.
Signatures Documents should remain unsigned. California requires most signatures to be made in the presence of the notary.
Scope of service A notary public verifies the identity of signers and witnesses signatures. I am not an attorney and am not authorized to provide legal advice, explain the contents of a document, or determine which notarial act is required. Please direct those questions to the document's preparer or to licensed legal counsel.
If you need a document recognized in another country — a marriage certificate, a power of attorney, school records, adoption or business paperwork — it usually needs an apostille: a certificate from the California Secretary of State authenticating the notary's signature.
I notarize the document if it isn't already, take it to the Secretary of State's office in downtown Los Angeles, file it, and return it to you completed. You don't make the trip or stand in the line.
State fees are set by the Secretary of State and passed through at cost — $20 per document plus a $6 in-person handling fee. Multiple documents filed on the same trip share that handling fee.
Most re-scheduled signings aren't hard files — they're missed details. Wrong date on the notarial certificate, a missing initial, a borrower who didn't know to bring ID. That's the part I own.
Refinance, purchase, HELOC, seller packages, loan modifications, and general real-estate instruments. Every deed and deed of trust gets the thumbprint California requires.
Evenings and weekends by arrangement. Confirmation to the borrower before the appointment, and a call to you if anything looks off before I leave the table.
Same-day scanbacks and drop confirmation. Documents go out the same business day unless you direct otherwise.
Profiles in progress. Direct assignments welcome by phone or email in the meantime.
California caps the notarial fee at $15 per signature. Travel is quoted up front and agreed before I drive — never a surprise at the door.

Almost every wasted trip comes down to one of these. Two minutes now saves a second appointment.
Driver's license, state ID, or passport. California also accepts several secondary IDs — but a secondary ID issued more than five years ago won't work even if it hasn't expired. Check the issue date, not just the expiration.
For most documents the signature has to happen in front of me. If it's already signed, I may not be able to complete the notarization. Leave it blank and bring a pen.
Every person whose signature is being notarized has to be physically present, with their own ID. One missing signer means one missing notarization.
All pages, no blank spaces left in the body. If the document arrived without a California notarial certificate, tell me when you book — I carry compliant ones.
