Power of Attorney - POA Notary St. Louis

Power of Attorney - being prepared is a loving act for your family. Mobile Notary St Louis can help

What is a Power of Attorney?

Simply put, a power of attorney is a document that gives another person (the agent) legal authority to represent you and act on your behalf


In order to make it official - a Power of Attorney POA needs a Notary to notarize the document. Witnesses are often required as well.

>> Schedule Now

Why would I want a POA?

There are many reasons to need a POA - some of them are:

  • Health decisions that you wish to be carried out should you not be able to make decisions for yourself 
  • When you are not able to be present to sign documents that need a 'wet' signature, such as a real estate transaction
  • You are a parent leaving your minor child in care of someone in your absence 
  • You want to assign a person to take care of your personal financial or business financial matters in your absence

Mobile Notary St. Louis provides Notaries at your Home | Office | Hospital | Nursing Home to make the Notary process of your Power of Attorney document easier for everyone

How do I make my POA official?

In most states, for a POA to be official, it will need to be Notarized by a Notary Public

  • A Notary will be present to witness signing of the document(s) and to verify identity of the signers
  • Signers must be aware of what they are signing, not be under duress and be able to communicate with the Notary directly at the time of signing
  • Once document(s) has been properly notarized, it is then an official document
  • Some notarized documents may need to be filled with an Attorney or court to consider the document an official record
  • It is up to the customer to complete this final process if necessary


Notaries are NOT Lawyers and do NOT offer legal advice of any type 

Notaries can not provide documents or advise you on proper documents

Please consult an Attorney or proper professional

Do I need a witness? Who can be a witness?

Witnesses aren't always required - you will have to check your particular POA to see if witnesses are necessary for your document. 


  • Witnesses can NOT be mentioned in or related to anyone mentioned in the document
  • The best witnesses are a family friend, neighbor or co-worker
  • Witnesses MUST be physically present for signing and have a valid  state ID, Drivers License or Passport available- no copies or pictures accepted
  • Nurses, medical staff or administrative employees will NOT sign as witness to any type of documents that aren't 100% medical related. Do not assume that medical staff will assist because 'someone' told you they can
  • We can provide witnesses if you do not have anyone available starting at $65.00+ per witness - arrangements must be made before scheduling appointment online - please call to arrange 636-293-4493
  • Travel fee is still due if signing can't be completed due to incorrect documents, no witnesses, missing ID, etc. If notary shows up as scheduled, travel fee is due.

Why do I need a Notary?

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. 


The Notary's stamp and Notary's signature on your document makes it Notarized

Some notarized documents may need to be filed with an Attorney or court to consider the document an official record.

How the process works

  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?" 
  4. Find out when - day/time your witnesses are available to be present with all parties that will sign the POA 
  5. Contact Mobile Notary St Louis - it's easiest to have a Mobile Notary that will travel to your location so that everyone can meet in one place, at your home, office, nursing home, hospital, etc. 
  6. Schedule an appointment with Mobile Notary St Louis
  7. Fill out all questions and information on documents PRIOR to the Notary appointment time
  8. DO NOT SIGN or DATE any pages of documents until the Notary is present, All other portions of document should be completed before the appointment to save time for all involved
  9. On appointment day -  Have document(s) ready to be signed. Make sure all parties will be present- including witnesses if needed. Make sure all signers and witnesses have valid state ID, Drivers License or Passport* present for the Notary *No copies or pictures are accepted

          10. When the Notary arrives - 

  • Notary will review and record each persons Identification & signature
  • Notary will witness all parties signing the documents
  • Notary will stamp and sign the documents
  • Your document is now official and Notarized
  • If document needs to be filed with an Attorney or court to consider the document an official record - it is up to customer to complete this part of the process


  ** 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.

What if the person doesn't a valid Identification? Using "Credible Witnesses"

If a valid identification is present for one reason or another - expired, lost, not available:


The state allows a Notary to verify a person without ID by having two "credible witnesses"


Credible Witnesses must meet all the following:

  • Personally know the person that has a missing ID
  • Not be related to any person signing or anyone mentioned in the document (they can not stand to gain in any way from the documents being notarized)
  • Have a current state ID, state Drivers license or Passport available for the Notary - copies or pictures not accepted
  • Be present at the time of signing with the Notary

Frequently Asked Questions about POWER OF ATTORNEY | ESTATE

Please reach us at info@MobileNotaryStLouis.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you (the "principal") to appoint someone (an "agent" or "attorney-in-fact") to make financial or healthcare decisions on your behalf. In Missouri, a Power of Attorney must be signed in front of a notary public to be legally valid. 


While a Last Will and Testament generally requires two witnesses in Missouri (and can be "self-proving" with notarization), documents like Living Trusts and Advance Directives/Healthcare POAs often require notarization to be legally effective. 


Mobile Notary St. Louis brings the notary service directly to you, offering convenience, privacy, and flexibility during what can be sensitive discussions. This is especially beneficial for individuals who prefer to sign documents in the comfort of their home or with their legal counsel present.
