Purpose Initiative Solutions believes clients should understand a service's cost before confirming an appointment or assignment.
The prices below provide a general starting point. Final pricing may vary depending on travel distance, location, urgency, the number of signers or recipients, parking and tolls, document requirements, and the time needed to complete the service.
Every client will receive a clear quote before work begins. We will identify applicable notarial, travel, administrative, and additional service fees separately.
MOBILE NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICES
Available notarial services may include:
Acknowledgments
