What is a mobile notary?

Accepted Answer

A mobile notary is a notary that can travel to your location. Whether it be your home, office, hospital, or school…your notary can meet you there. Just like a traditional notary service but more convenient because the notary comes to you.
Mobile notary service is helpful for signers that are unable to travel, for example someone in the hospital or rehab facility that needs a document notarized.
