What does a notary do?

A Notary’s duty is to screen the signers of important documents for their true identity, their willingness to sign without duress or intimidation, and their awareness of the contents of the document or transaction.

Testimonials

Charmaine and George made our wedding very special. We didn’t have much time to plan (less than a week!) and they were both very accommodating and responsive to our requests, right down to the rose petal heart in the sand. The pictures George took were spectacular and will be treasured for many years to come! Thank you for the wonderful memories…..

We wish we could give more than 5 stars! We tried for about 4 hours to find a notary that was truly 24 hours. Every other one that claims to be 24 hours was not and they were rude when asked about service. We called and she was more than accommodating at a late hour, she did not even hesitate. We needed a marriage license notarized, and it was important that we had the specific date. We highly recommend A Notary On The Go. 🙂

So for the past, roughly 4 years now, I have used notary on the go for one of my clients that alway needs an Apostille. Amanda has given me the best customer service and she is a great communicator. She’s guided me through step by step and we accomplished what was needed. Thank you Amanda for everything! Definitely will continue using your notary services.

As an attorney, I would recommend Amanda for your notarial/legalization needs based on my last experience and because of her speed, attention, and reliability. I was in a tough situation when I contacted Amanda about two months ago. I had a great job offer abroad, and my new employer wanted notarized/apostilled documents in a very short time window. Amanda delivered with speed and care. Thanks to her my process went very smoothly. Thanks Amanda!

Amanda was super responsive which is important because for many people, including myself, time will is of the essence for either notary work or an apostille at the capital. She was super easy to work with by email and phone, responded rapidly, made the online notarization a breeze, and set great expectations for the timeline with the apostilles. Considering the level of service and response, her fees were also quite reasonable. A++++
