About the Owner.

Mobile Notary Signing Services

The mobile notary service offered by Careful Works involves a trained and certified agent traveling to the borrower's location to witness the signing of loan documents. During pandemic times, when people were urged to avoid crowds, this convenient service became especially useful. With Careful Works' mobile notary loan signing services, our clients can save time and reduce stress associated with traditional loan signings.

fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public is an official of integrity appointed by the state government typically by the secretary of state, to serve the public as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official fraud-deterrent acts related to the signing of important documents. These official acts are called notarizations, or notarial acts. One of the main responsibilities of a notary public is to confirm the identity of the signer of a document through personal knowledge, a credible witness, and/or identification card or papers. Also, notaries public ensure the signer is under his/her own free will, and there to witness the actual signing.

What is a “Mobile” Notary Public?

The “mobile” designation means the notary travels to you. They come to your home, office, or any other location at your convenience, giving you the advantage of flexible scheduling.


Are you a Notario Publico?

NO! In Hispanic countries, Notarios Publicos are highly trained legal professionals similar to attorneys who provide legal advice. In California, notaries are state-commissioned officials with narrow witnessing duties and much less discretion. In fact, it is illegal for a Notary Public to refer to themselves as a Notario Publico in California.


Can a notary offer legal advice or prepare legal documents for notarization?

NO. A notary is not allowed to give legal advice and is forbidden to prepare legal documents or acting as a legal advisor unless he or she is also an attorney.







Can a notary notarize if the signer is not present?

ALL signers that wish to have their signatures notarized must be present at signing and have a VALID picture I.D.


Who can be a credible witness?

An uninvolved person (someone not mentioned in the document and not a family member). Neighbors and friends are commonly used.


Can a notary refuse to serve people?

Only if the Notary is uncertain of a signer’s identity, willingness, mental awareness, or has cause to suspect fraud. Notaries may not refuse service on the basis of race, religion, nationality, lifestyle, or because the person is not a client or customer.
