Question 1

What is a notary public?

Accepted Answer

A notary public is a state-appointed official who verifies the identity of document signers and witnesses signatures. Notaries help prevent fraud on important legal documents like powers of attorney, deeds, affidavits, and loan paperwork.

Question 2

What documents do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Bring the unsigned document and a valid, current government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, or military ID). Do not sign the document before we meet — most notarial acts require you to sign in front of the notary.

Question 3

What is remote online notarization (RON)?

Accepted Answer

RON lets you complete a notarization over secure video. You'll upload your document, verify your identity through the platform, and meet the notary live by video. The session is recorded and stored as required by Arkansas law. Most documents qualify, but a few (like wills in some states) cannot be notarized remotely.

Question 4

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Online notarization (RON) is $30 for the first signature plus $10 per additional signature. Mobile appointments are $25 (0–10 miles from Ward), $35 (10–20 miles), or $50 (20–30 miles). Hospital and nursing home visits are $40. See our pricing page for full details.

Question 5

How fast can you come?

Accepted Answer

Same-day appointments are often possible when the calendar shows open times. Book online to see live availability for your area.
