Mobile notary pricing in Denver. Honest, transparent.

Notarial fees are set by Colorado law; travel is what changes by job. My pricing is built from three parts: a flat per-signature notarial fee, a travel fee based on distance from central Denver, and an optional same-hour rush surcharge. If you call and tell me the address, I quote the total before I drive.

01

Why is your notarial fee $10 when Colorado allows up to $15?

Colorado sets a maximum per notarial act, not a required rate. I charge $10 per signature because it covers the work fairly and keeps the bill predictable for the people who call me most often: families finalizing estate documents, FSBO sellers coordinating deed transfers, and folks coordinating bedside notarizations at hospitals. Law firms and other professional clients with established billing arrangements get invoiced per their preferred terms.

02

How is the travel fee calculated?

Travel is priced by distance from central Denver, not by the meter. Downtown Denver appointments are a flat $25. Everywhere else in the Denver metro falls in a $40 to $60 range depending on how far the address is from downtown. I quote the exact travel number on the phone before I drive, so the total you hear is the total you pay.

03

What counts as a same-hour rush?

Same-hour means you need me on site within roughly 60 minutes of the call. That triggers the $75 surcharge because the booking displaces whatever else is on the calendar. Scheduling for later today, tomorrow, this weekend, or even at 2 a.m. tonight does not trigger the rush surcharge as long as you give me more than an hour to coordinate. The rush is about the urgency, not the time of day.

04

Do you charge extra for evenings, weekends, or overnight?

No. Standard pricing applies Sunday through Saturday, daytime and overnight. The +$75 rush surcharge is the only off-the-base-price addition, and it applies only when you need same-hour service. 24/7 by appointment is part of the standard offer; the rush fee is an opt-in for genuine emergencies.

05

Are witnesses an extra fee?

For estate-planning packets I bring impartial witnesses on request and that's bundled into the $125 to $175 packet pricing. For one-off documents that require witnesses (occasional affidavits, some healthcare directives), I'll quote the witness coordination on the call. Most signers prefer me to bring witnesses because Colorado law requires them to be disinterested, which rules out family members who stand to benefit from the document.

06

What if my appointment runs long?

Most signings finish in the time I budget for them: 15 to 20 minutes for single documents, 45 to 90 minutes for estate packets and multi-document deed transfers. If the appointment runs significantly past the buffer because of facility delays or a signer who needs more time, I'll let you know on the call before driving so the expectation is set. I do not surprise people with extra charges at the table.

07

Do you charge for hospital, hospice, jail, or assisted living visits?

The standard $10 per signature applies. Travel is calculated the same way: distance from central Denver. Jail and detention center visits carry a small administrative line for the facility intake time, since check-in and waiting room procedures can add 20 to 45 minutes that don't apply to a kitchen-table signing. Bedside visits at hospitals, hospices, and assisted living do not carry a facility surcharge.

08

When and how do I pay you?

For individual signers, payment is due at the time of the appointment. Law firms and other professional clients with established billing arrangements get invoiced per their preferred terms. I quote the total on the phone before I drive so you know the number, and I do not run a credit check or take a deposit to confirm the booking.
