FREE NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICES NEAR ME

 If you are in New York City then at least once every 2 years you will need the services of a Notary Public, to witness and legalize a signature. Even in most cases a Notary Public Signature cost $2.00, but you can even get that service for free if you go to your local bank, if you have a bank account in good standing with them, they may help you for free or go to your tax return preparer and if he/she decide to help you for free, then he/she will do it, cause you do your taxes with that person but is not always the case. Another way is go to your local police precinct, some times they have a notary public officer available that can help you for free, in this one I will advice you to call the precinct first to make sure is available.

If you see a pattern here you will note that in most of the cases, you must call before you go or is not guaranteed that the notary will be available, this is due to the fact that nobody wants to work or get more work for free or little money.

The only problem with the so called free notary public is that they are virtually almost impossible to get, and at the long run is time consuming and at the end you ended up wasting more valuable time than the amount that you will spend, just if you just decide to pay extra, so he/she can compromise and do the required job for you.

Lets make some sense here, and review this examples.

EXAMPLE 1: You need to notarize a document next day and is past 5:00PM weekdays, your possibilities to get a notary public available is only 20% if you are lucky enough, but is pass 7:00pm then your possibilities are almost 1%. and what will happen to the document if is not submitted on time, of course every case is different, but a lock rate for a loan could mean thousands of dollars, a financial aid application for your kids college, could mean that your child do not get financial aid for college. is a lot of different consequences, depending on the rules or the type of document and what for is needed. Imagine this happens on weekends. Now you do the math and get serious.

EXAMPLE 2: Imagine that you are traveling with your children on vacation and the plane leave next day early in the morning, but one of the parents is not going, you will need a minor travel parent consent, so your child can board that plane. If is past 5:00PM and you did not get a notary public for that consent, your children will not board the plane unless you hire a mobile notary public to help you after hours.

EXAMPLE 3: all notarized documents, must be sign in presence of the notary public (in person) after the notary verify the ID, what happen if the signer can not go to the notary, because is in the hospital or nursing home or home and unable to travel, then your only choice will be to hire a mobile notary public to go to you. Now the question is this, what are the possibilities of you getting a mobile notary public that goes to you for free or for $2.00 only. Well sorry but they are (ZERO %), now another question is what will be the consequences if that person do not sign an important document like a will, testament or power of attorney, and that person past away or is incapacitated to act on her own behalf? Just think about this for a minute.

EXAMPLE 4: is raining or snowing, and day looks what some people call weather horrible, just a heavy rain will suffice for this term, Do you really want to go around the neighborhood looking for a notary public, with papers on your hand during a rainy or snowy day, just to get it done for free? what are the possibilities that those documents get wet and damage before or after the signature?

EXAMPLE 5: You skip work, will arrive later during the day or will miss school to get this papers done, if the company pays you per hour, then you lost the time invested, if you work in New York City then the minimum wage is $15.00 an hour, so if you invested 3 hours on this, you just loss, $45.00, but that is not all, what happen if you then do not find a notary and have to take another day off, this will increase the amount of money you just loss, almost to double.

Let's get real, in most cases the value is related to the type of service you receive, the more you pay the more guarantee and better service you will receive. If you don't pay, you can not complaint. If you paid too little then you can complaint just too little. and your guarantees are correlated to the same amount. 

Now an alternative and solution to this problem, is to hire a Mobile Notary Public, this person usually works around the clock on appointments only and visits clients at they residence or location. This mobile notary public, may charge you a higher fee do to the traveling and odds time of the appointment, but in most cases is not even that much in relation to the time invested by you skipping work, remember loss time can not be recuperated and the good thing is you will have your document done at your convenience, you will not interrupt you normal life to take care of the document. Some of them accept all type of forms of payments, from cash, to direct deposit, to Credit Cards. Make sure to ask for credentials before start any negotiation.

WHY DO YOU NEED A MOBILE NOTARY PUBLIC?

There is an old saying, [Time is money], in some cities like Los Angeles or New York City that is a Fact. As of 2020 in New York City minimum wage is $15.00 an hour. In Los Angeles as of July 1st. is $14.25 for small employers and $15.00 for large employees.

Now, why do you need a mobile notary public, here i give you (10) reasons why is cheaper to hire a mobile notary public that goes to your door than you try to chase one.

Notary Public is not a business or a way to make profit, due to the fact that notary public are appointed by the state and fees are regulated by such. Here we will cover New York City for now.

Notary Public are just meant to help the court with the over work of affidavit, jurat or oaths the court must handle and for such process, the court allow a notarial fee of $2.00 as of 2020 and is been the same for over 20 years.

In that is no money to live in the second most expensive city in the USA.

10 REASONS WHY YOU NEED A MOBILE NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICE

1) TIME IS MONEY: we said it, you will not find a notary in every corner, you will waste a good valuable time.

2) TRAVELING COST: you will spend money in gas or public transportation tolls.

3) SKIP WORK OR SCHOOL:  if you get paid per hour like most people in new york city you will be deducted the time you did not show for work while chasing a notary public.

4) FORGET A DOCUMENT OR ID HOME: this is a very common mistake, and is always realize when the notary public ask for id, before the signings. now you have to go back to get it and come back AGAIN.

5) DISTANCE FROM PARKING OR STATION TO WHERE IS THE NOTARY: the place where you park or the train station or bus stop is 2 or 3 blocks away from the notary public place this add another 5 minutes to your trip each way.

6) NOTARY PUBLIC NOT AVAILABLE OR OLD SIGN: many multiservice agencies or shipping places have a sign that state they have a notary public, but sometimes the notary public is not there in 90% of the time or they don't have one any more and they just forgot to remove the sign. You may ask why? the answer is simple.. keep reading reason (7).

7) NOTARY PUBLIC DO NOT MAKE MONEY AS A NOTARY PUBLIC: as a notary public in the 2nd. most expensive city in the whole US, use common sense and think who can survive with a $2.00 per signature job. this is the main reason why many notaries stop renewing their licenses or just have it and don't do it any more. the notary public ask in several business if they can offer their services there, the business owners agree, and because the notary public will not work there or will be seating there waiting for a client, this one instead is called when a notary business arrive, and guess what 99% of the cases is not available, cause will not stop doing what he is doing and travel to that location for a couple dollars.

8) UNDERVALUE: many people brag that they hire an attorney to do a job for $350 to $700, when the same job can be perform with the same quality by a notary public, but the same person complaints to the mobile notary public for the price and traveling fees.

9) TIME OF YOUR NEED: most of the time is late night, who will be willing to see you late night for a couple of dollars for a form that is urgent and is needed early on the morning.

10) DAY OF YOUR NEED: is friday, saturday or sunday night, who can be willing to help you for $2.00 dollars at that time. Think about it.

Now just add all those 10 factors and think what is more valuable if your time or the set mobile notary public fees. If you add your time plus the incidentals you will be spending close to $50.00 dollars just to notarize a document when the mobile notary public may be willing to help you for $35.00 at your own home and time.

Remember once the time is gone you can not get it back, so use it wisely in things that produce benefits and try to stop wasting it just to save a couple dollars and in the end spend more.

Everybody in New York City at some point is been told that need to notarize a document, and then you wonder, what the heck is notary public. Well in simple term i will explain all. and also the difference between attorney and a lawyer. Because a Notary Public is NOT an Attorney or a Lawyer but a Lawyer or an Attorney can be a notary public.

First is there a difference Between Attorney and a Lawyer? are they the same?

The simple answer is not, they are not the same even when they have the same functions.

Lawyer Just practice the law.
Attorney handle business for a client or somebody else.

A Lawyer became an attorney at the moment he get a client or do business for anybody else.

WHAT IS A NOTARY PUBLIC? Notaries public in New York are commissioned by the Secretary of State of New York after passing a short examination in law and procedure and submitting an application for appointment accompanied by the proper fees. A notary's commission is received from and kept on file with the county clerk of the county in which they reside or do business, but notaries are empowered to actually perform their duties anywhere in the state.

New York notaries are empowered to administer oaths and affirmations (including oaths of office), to take affidavits and depositions, to receive and certify acknowledgments or proofs (of execution) of deeds, mortgages and powers of attorney and other instruments in writing. Notaries may also demand acceptance or payment of foreign and inland bills of exchange, promissory notes and obligations in writing. Other powers include required attendance at the forced opening of an abandoned safe deposit box to observe the opening and conduct and provide a written inventory of the contents.

New York notaries may not issue certified copies of publicly recordable documents (i.e. birth certificate, marriage certificate, bankruptcy discharge, divorce decree, etc.); notably (as emphasized by official publications) they may not certify copies of documents (for instance, "I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy...," is beyond the authority of a New York notary). However, a notary may issue a notarial copy certification in which the document custodian signs and swears to the authenticity of the original and facsimile document. New York notaries, including attorney-notaries, may not solemnize marriages in a civil ceremony. In New York state, a notary is not required for a testator to write or execute a last will and testament. New York law requires two witnesses, who do not need to be notaries, to attend and observe the will signing ceremony; subsequent to the execution by both testator and subscribing witnesses, these witnesses may then swear to the mental competence of the testator and other factors associated with the execution ceremony. A notary may, upon request, take a "self-proving affidavit" or an "affidavit of execution" sworn to and signed by the testator and the two (subscribing) witnesses, which will serve as formal proof and testimony of the proper will execution in the probate process at the county surrogate.
