Mobile Notary
The Benefits of Hiring a Mobile Notary in Missouri
Driving to a bank or office just to find a notary can be inconvenient — and sometimes impossible when you’re dealing with urgent paperwork or mobility issues. That’s where mobile notaries come in. At Big River Notary, we travel to your home, office, hospital, or other location to make notarization easy and compliant. In this post, we’ll cover when it makes sense to hire a mobile notary and why so many Missouri residents rely on us.
What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to clients instead of requiring them to come to an office. In Missouri, notaries can legally perform the same duties whether they’re sitting in a bank or at your kitchen table — the difference is mobility and convenience.
When Should You Hire a Mobile Notary?
There are several situations where a mobile notary makes the most sense:
Health or mobility issues – When a client is in the hospital, rehab, or at home and cannot travel easily.
Time-sensitive documents – Legal filings, loan packages, and estate planning often come with deadlines.
After-hours needs – Mobile notaries can often work evenings and weekends, unlike most bank notaries.
Rural locations – In smaller Missouri counties, finding an available notary nearby can be a challenge. A mobile notary solves this by coming directly to you.
How Much Does a Mobile Notary Cost in Missouri?
Missouri law sets the notarial fee at $5 per signature. However, when a notary travels to you, they may also charge a travel fee, which is quoted in advance.
At Big River Notary, our $50 base fee covers travel within 10 miles and includes the first 2 notarizations. Each additional signature is $5, and each additional mile beyond 10 is $1. This transparent pricing ensures you know the cost up front, with no surprises.
