Common questions

How do I get a power of attorney notarized in Indiana?

+

In Indiana, a power of attorney must be signed by the principal (the person granting authority) in the presence of a notary public. The notary verifies identity, confirms the signing is voluntary, and affixes their seal. I come to your location — home, hospital, or care facility — so the principal doesn't have to travel. Book online or call (708) 724-7747.

Can you notarize documents at a hospital in Munster or Dyer?

+

Yes — hospital and bedside notarizations are a specialty. I serve Community Hospital Munster, Franciscan Health Dyer, and surrounding facilities. For urgent pre-surgery signings, book the Same-Day Urgent service or call me directly at (708) 724-7747 for the fastest response.

What ID does a signer need for a notarization in Indiana?

+

Acceptable ID includes an Indiana driver's license or state ID, US Passport or Passport Card, military ID, or tribal ID with photo. The ID must be government-issued, current (not expired), and contain both a photo and signature. If a signer cannot produce valid ID, contact me — there are credible witness procedures available in certain circumstances.

What's the difference between an acknowledgment and a jurat?

+

An acknowledgment is used for most legal documents (deeds, POAs, mortgages) — the signer confirms they signed voluntarily but doesn't have to sign in front of the notary. A jurat is required for affidavits and sworn statements — the signer must sign in the notary's presence and take an oath that the contents are true. I'll confirm which your document requires before the appointment.

How much does a mobile notary cost in Lake County Indiana?

+

Standard mobile visits start at $30. Hospital and assisted living visits are $75 for a single document or $100 for multiple documents. Urgent same-day appointments are $125. Indiana caps the notarial act fee at $5 per stamp — my packages bundle travel and service into one transparent flat rate. No hidden fees.

Do you work with signers who have Parkinson's or arthritis?

+

Yes — and I come prepared. I carry adaptive weighted pens and ergonomic grips specifically for signers with tremors, Parkinson's, arthritis, or limited hand strength. I take as much time as needed. A signer's ability to write doesn't affect the validity of their notarization as long as they have the mental capacity to understand and sign the document.

What is your cancellation policy?

+

Cancel 24 or more hours before your appointment for a full refund — no questions asked. Same-day cancellations are non-refundable, as your appointment time has been reserved and travel may have begun. If I ever need to cancel for any reason, you receive an immediate full refund.
