Fees, travel, and what to expect at the table.

Purchase, refinance, and HELOC packages, signed to the lender’s instructions and the title company’s closing checklist. Sam confirms the appointment with the borrower, arrives with the package printed, and walks each document in order.

• Signed package scanned back to the title company; the order confirmation states how it is delivered.
• Package shipped per the closer’s instructions; tracking number sent when it goes out.
• Witnesses only when the lender requires them: bring your own, or the notary provides them for $25 each.

Title companies and signing services: sign in to the vendor portal to see your rates, or request the vendor packet.

Powers of attorney, affidavits, Notices of Commencement, contracts, vehicle titles, school and immigration forms, and any other document that calls for an acknowledgment, jurat, or oath. One visit fee per appointment, plus $10 for each notarial act (each signature notarized), plus the travel tier for your address. Each extra signer simply adds their own acts.

Witnesses are optional. Bring your own at no charge, or the notary provides them for $25 each. Florida deeds are signed in front of 2 witnesses, and the notary can be one of them, so at most 1 more witness is needed. Trust documents need 2 witnesses, and neither can be the notary. For a mortgage, ask the lender whether it requires witnesses. A witness cannot be a relative of a signer (for example, someone who shares a signer's last name), cannot be a party to the transaction (such as a person named on the deed), and cannot have an interest in it.

A secure video session with knowledge-based identity verification and a tamper-evident digital seal. The signer can be anywhere; the notarization is under Florida law. Each online notarial act stays within the Florida maximum of $25 (F.S. 117.275); the platform's technology fee is listed separately and is not a notarial fee. No travel.

Not every document or receiving party accepts a remote notarization. Confirm with the recipient first.

Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health-care surrogate designations, and living wills, at home or at the bedside. Billed as general notary work: the visit fee plus each notarial act, plus travel. Witness arrangements follow the rules above for trusts and deeds.

For a hospital or facility signing, Sam checks with staff that the signer is alert and acting freely before starting.
