Location, Location, Location

Claudia Mitchell-McLeod • April 24, 2025

You’ve heard the phrase a million times: “Location, location, location.”

It’s a real estate mantra—but it applies to notary work, too.


The truth is: where you notarize something matters almost as much as what you’re notarizing.


Why? Because life doesn’t stop for paperwork—and not everyone can take time off work, drive across town, or stand in line at a busy office.


Notarizing important documents doesn’t have to mean disrupting your day, dragging your loved one to a notary, or waiting until Monday morning at 10 a.m.


What if your notary could meet you where *you* are?


What if your notary could meet you at a time that fits your schedule—even if that meant evenings, weekends, or holidays?


What if your notary could arrange to have witnesses if required for your notarization?


As a mobile notary, I’ve met clients:

  • In parking lots between appointments.
  • At local libraries, banks, and nursing homes.
  • Outside hospitals and on front porches.
  • In quiet corners of coffee shops.
  • At senior communities during weekend visits.


And yes, some of those locations have left an impression:

  • My very first notarization happened at a local Starbucks.
  • I served as a witness for a loan signing outdoors at a picnic table in a county park.
  • I notarized estate documents at a picnic table outside a rehab facility.
  • I even witnessed a trust signing at a clothing-optional community—with full professionalism, of course.


Because real life isn’t always tidy—and sometimes you just need to get it done with a notary who meets you where you are.


Here’s how it works:

  • You name the time and place—day, evening, weekend, or holiday
  • I meet you in a safe location that’s convenient for you
  • I bring everything needed to complete your notarization
  • You get professional, reliable service—without the hassle


Common mobile notary requests include:

  • Estate planning and power of attorney documents
  • Advance healthcare directives
  • School and adoption forms
  • I-9 employment verifications
  • Loan documents and seller’s packages
  • VIN verifications
  • And more...


You’ll also avoid common frustrations like:

  • Offices closed when you’re free
  • Staff who can’t notarize certain documents
  • Being told “We don’t notarize that”

Apostille? It’s not a typo—and it’s definitely not a sermon.

Once upon a time, in a charming small town, two young people—Destiny and Eric—crossed paths most unexpectedly. At first, there was no spark. Destiny thought Eric was too serious, while Eric found Destiny too carefree. Perhaps one felt slightly attracted, but the other was completely uninterested. Yet, as the years passed and life wove their paths together, they discovered common values, dreams, and a deep appreciation for each other. Slowly, a friendship blossomed into love. Their journey followed the classic romantic arc: love grew, challenges arose, a painful breakup occurred, and then—reconciliation. They realized their love was worth fighting for and ultimately married, riding off into the sunset, full of hope for the future. But what happens after the wedding? Fast forward 3, 10, 20, even 50 years—Destiny and Eric are still together. The question is, how did they do it?
