Can a Notary Come to My Office or Client’s Home?

If you’ve ever asked, “Can a notary come to my office or my client’s home?”, you’re not alone. 

And the answer is a resounding yes.

In fact, there’s an entire industry of full-time, highly trained professionals who do exactly that, travel directly to your clients to notarize their most important legal documents.

They're called mobile notaries, and they’re not the part-time, side-hustle type you might remember from the back of a shipping store. These are dedicated professionals who’ve built their businesses around serving law firms, fiduciaries, and families, on-site, on-time, and with professionalism.

If you're an estate planning attorney who hasn’t yet tapped into this kind of support, here’s why now might be the perfect time to start.

Your Clients Expect Convenience, Even With Serious Documents

Look, we all want clients to treat their estate plans like the critical documents they are. But the reality is, your clients are human (and busy humans at that!).

They’re juggling work, school pickups, caregiving, chronic illness, long commutes, and all the small fires of everyday life. Even when they understand the importance of finalizing their will or trust, it’s still hard to carve out time to drive across town, find parking, and sit in a law office on a Tuesday afternoon.

Some common reasons clients struggle to come in for a signing:

• They’re caring for a spouse, parent, or child
  
  
• They’re recovering from surgery or illness
  
  
• They work full-time with limited time off
  
  
• They live far from your office or have transportation challenges
  
  
• They have anxiety, mobility issues, or memory impairments
  
  
• They simply prefer the comfort and privacy of their own home
  
  

Asking these clients to rearrange their entire day to show up for a signing isn’t just inconvenient, it can actually delay or derail the completion of their plan.

A Professional Mobile Notary Can Help You Help More People

Mobile notaries solve this problem.

These are notaries who travel to your clients at home, at the office, in care facilities, hospitals, or anywhere else they’re needed. And the best ones are trained, background-checked, insured, and often certified in specialty areas like estate planning, real estate, and healthcare documentation.

At Gotary.com, we’ve built a directory filled with these professionals, including a specialized category just for Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agents (CNTDAs). These are notaries who’ve completed additional training to support estate planning attorneys specifically.

They understand the flow of a signing appointment. They communicate clearly and compassionately. They protect the integrity of your documents. And they represent your firm with professionalism.

Yes, They Can Come to Your Office, Too

If you’d rather keep signings in-house but don’t want to staff a full-time notary (or worry about conflicts when your in-house notary is unavailable), mobile notaries are a great solution.

They can meet your client in your conference room, at the front desk, or anywhere else that works for you. It’s support on demand, with zero admin overhead.

Why Law Firms Are Making the Shift

We’re living in the age of Amazon Prime, food delivery, and digital everything. Clients expect options that meet them where they are, literally and figuratively.

Offering mobile notary services through a partner like Gotary.com signals that your firm is flexible, modern, and client-focused. Here’s why it matters:

1. Faster Document Completion

No more chasing clients for weeks to get signatures. Mobile notaries can get the job done fast, often same-day.

2. Happier Clients Leave Better Reviews

When clients don’t have to fight traffic, miss work, or feel overwhelmed, they’re more likely to finish their plan and leave a five-star review about how smooth it all was.

3. Better Reviews = More Referrals

Every satisfied client becomes a potential referral source. Word travels fast when someone says, “My attorney made the whole process so easy.”

4. You Save Time and Headspace

Why waste your valuable time coordinating witnesses, scheduling after-hours meetings, or driving out to care facilities? Hand it off to a trained mobile notary you can trust. You stay focused on legal work, while they handle logistics.

The Gotary.com Difference

It’s not just about having someone with a stamp and a smile.

At Gotary.com, we’ve created a special category for Certified Notary Trust Delivery Agents (CNTDAs), and these are the notaries trained specifically to support estate planning signings. These professionals understand:

• The structure of a typical estate planning package
  
  
• Common client concerns and how to address them
  
  
• Coordination with attorneys, fiduciaries, and witnesses
  
  
• Maintaining the tone and professionalism your clients expect
  
  

And yes, they know how to politely redirect Uncle Bob when he starts asking whether he can “just sign for Mom.”
