You need a reliable, professional, and transparent service when dealing with important legal documents. In Tampa Bay, Florida, you have several notary options, each with its own cost structure and level of convenience.
At first glance, office notaries seem like a cost-effective choice. In the case of your local bank, some notarize for free. On the other hand, non-bank office notaries charge the per signature fee ($10) Florida allows a stationary notary to charge. However, they often come with a host of inconveniences.
Office hours can be restrictive, making it difficult for busy professionals or those dealing with sensitive family matters to find a suitable time.
Moreover, many office notaries in Florida refuse to notarize complex documents, including wills, power of attorney, or other documents requiring witnesses.
Visiting an office to wait in line can be particularly challenging for individuals experiencing health or mobility challenges.
In contrast to bank or office notaries, a traditional mobile notary offers much greater flexibility. They come to you, saving you the hassle of traveling to an office and working around someone else's schedule.
For this convenience, document signers pay a convenience fee plus signature fees. At $30 to $45, your typical Tampa Bay notary costs more than an office notary but can come in handy if you cannot travel.
However, two issues can arise with general travel notaries in Central Florida:
1) While there are many outstanding mobile notaries in the Tampa Bay area, you'll likely dial multiple numbers before finding someone who answers or calls back.
2) Many Tampa mobile notaries use complicated pricing. The most common fee structure involves a fee per signature as the base fee.
And then, there's the convenience fee, which consists of additional costs for mileage, level of urgency, witnesses provided, time of day, parking, and venue (hospital, detention center, nursing facility, etc).
As a result, it's difficult to escape the feeling you've gotten nickeled and dimed.
At Wesley Chapel Mobile Notary, we do things differently. We understand you need a reliable, professional, and transparent service when dealing with vital legal documents.
That's why we answer our phone or follow up if we were busy when you called. And we keep our appointments while clearly summarizing how our pricing works.
While our fees also vary depending on the type of document, the number of signers, and the urgency of the service, they're inclusive - meaning you won't see confusing line items on our invoices.
For example, if you call us and schedule a 1-2 signature signing, one to two days out, with a 2-hour window - our flat fee on a 1-2 signature document is $67. And that's our starting rate for the most straightforward documents.
Alternatively, if you need a notary to travel and notarize your documents today, it would be $87 via our booking portal, which accepts your payment at booking.
And since we offer simplified pricing, our rates include signatures, and we don't add additional fees for visiting you in a hospital, nursing facility, or detention center.
While not the lowest cost provider, our Tampa Bay mobile notary pricing can particularly benefit anyone looking for simple and predictable pricing.
As a specialty notary agency focusing on estate planning notarizations, we work with experienced travel notaries who arrive on time and avoid costly mistakes. But in the rare event we err on a document, we will return and fix the issue - on us.
