1. Once you have your Power of Attorney document(s) (durable Power of Attorney, healthcare directive Power of Attorney, general Power of Attorney, financial Power of Attorney, etc) you will need to review it to see if you need witnesses 
2. Make sure all parties that need their signature notarized have a current ID, Drivers License or Passport available for the Notary - NO copies or pictures are accepted. If no current ID is available see "Credible Witnesses" below
3. Secure your (non-related, disinterested) witnesses and be sure they have a valid drivers license, ID, or passport as the Notary will need to see that to verify their identity **If you have questions on witnesses - See above "Do I need a witness? Who can be a witness?"

  ** Note - if Notary shows up and documents can not be notarized for any reason, our travel fee is still due in full. Notary is on a schedule and can not wait for changes, finding witnesses, etc. 

A Notary Public will be present during the signing of the document to verify it was signed by the correct people and that those signers have been properly identified by verifying their Drivers License, State issued ID, or Passport.

Mobile Notary St Louis travels directly to senior living facilities, nursing homes, and assisted living centers across the metro area. We bring our professional notary services straight to the resident's room, offering convenience, compliance, and peace of mind to seniors, families, and healthcare advocates during stressful moments.

We frequently handle critical estate planning, medical compliance, and legal forms. The most commonly requested documents include:

• Financial and Medical Powers of Attorney (POA)
• Advance Healthcare Directives and Living Wills
• Real Estate Deeds and Closing Documents
• Medical Consent Forms and HIPAA Waivers

Yes. Under Missouri notary law, a signer must be fully aware, alert, of sound mind, and completely willing to sign the document of their own free will. Our commissioned notaries are trained to carefully assess the principal's awareness and capacity before any signatures are placed or notarized. We cannot proceed if a patient is unresponsive, unable to communicate intent, or heavily sedated.

The resident must present a physical, valid, and unexpired government-issued photo ID card. This can be a driver's license, a state identification card, or a passport from any state or country. Missouri law strictly prohibits us from accepting expired IDs, photocopies, or digital photos of identification cards on a smartphone.

Yes. Many essential legal documents (like Wills and Powers of Attorney) require one or two independent witnesses to sign alongside the notary. Please note: Nursing home nurses, staff members, and medical administrators are strictly prohibited by facility liability rules from signing as witnesses on non-medical legal documents. If your paperwork requires witnesses and you do not have friends or neighbors available, Mobile Notary St Louis can arrange to bring qualified independent witnesses to the appointment for an additional fee.

We understand that timing is everything when dealing with healthcare changes or urgent medical documentation. We prioritize senior living calls and strive to provide prompt, immediate scheduling, including next-day or urgent same-day mobile appointments when available. Please contact us directly for immediate service.

We serve nursing homes, rehabilitation clinics, and hospice facilities throughout the entire greater St Louis metropolitan area, including St Louis City, St Louis County, and St Charles County. When booking, simply provide us with the name of the facility and its neighborhood location.

No. Notaries are public officials, not licensed attorneys, and are strictly prohibited by Missouri law from offering legal advice, drafting legal documents, or telling you which forms are needed for your situation. All documents must be fully prepared and ready for signing before our mobile notary arrives at the facility.

Our rates follow the standard Missouri statutory limit of $5 per notarized signature. Because our team travels directly to the senior care facility, a mobile travel and convenience fee is calculated based on location and timing. If you require our professional witness add-on service, that will incur an additional charge. We always provide an exact, all-inclusive quote prior to confirming your appointment.

You can instantly book a visit by calling us directly or by using the scheduling portal on our website. To ensure a smooth appointment, please provide us with the name of the senior facility, the patient’s room number, the specific types of documents to be signed, and whether or not you will need us to bring professional witnesses
