Mobile notary in San Jose and Santa Clara County
In the South Bay a lot of signers are at an office all day. A notary who meets you at work over lunch, or at home after 7, is the whole point. This is an independent matching page. We are not a notary and not the California Secretary of State.
A local mobile notary may contact you to confirm time and fee. Keep an eye on email and phone.
Signing in Santa Clara County (San Jose)
Real property documents are recorded by the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder's Office in San Jose. The notary notarizes; your title company or you handle recording.
Office signings: if you want the notary at your workplace, check your building's visitor policy first and put the lobby check-in details in the notes. Many campuses need a visitor badge arranged in advance.
Hospital signings come up at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose and Stanford Health Care in Palo Alto.
Timing
Lunch-hour and after-work slots go first. If your document runs many pages, block more than a lunch break.
What to bring
- A current, government-issued photo ID for every person signing (driver's license, state ID or passport). No ID is the most common reason a signing gets cancelled.
- The complete, unsigned document. Don't sign ahead of time; you sign in front of the notary.
- Any blanks filled in except the signature. A notary can't notarize a document with empty fields.
What it costs
California caps the notary's fee for an acknowledgment at $15 per signature, and $15 for an oath or affirmation with a jurat (California Government Code §8211, text, checked 2026-09-29). Section 8211 doesn't set travel fees, so a mobile notary's travel charge is separate. Agree on it before the appointment.
