Sometimes getting to a notary isn't convenient — or isn't possible. Whether you're recovering in a hospital, caring for a family member, working from home on a deadline, or closing a real estate deal, a mobile notary brings the service directly to you. This guide explains how mobile notary works in Naperville, what it costs, who it's for, and how to book.
What Is a Mobile Notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to the client's location rather than requiring the client to visit an office. The notary performs all the same functions — verifying identity, witnessing signatures, administering oaths, and affixing an official seal — just at your chosen location.
Efficient Biometrics provides mobile notary services throughout Naperville and surrounding areas within a 15-mile radius, including homes, offices, hospitals, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, real estate closings, and other locations.

Hospital & Care Facility Notarizations
One of the most urgent uses of a mobile notary is hospital visits — particularly for power of attorney documents when a patient needs to designate someone to make financial or medical decisions on their behalf. We understand the sensitivity and urgency of these situations and do our best to accommodate same-day and after-hours requests.
Important: For a notarization to be valid, the signer must be mentally competent and able to understand and acknowledge what they are signing. If there is any question about a person's mental capacity, the notary may decline to notarize. Please consult a physician or attorney if this is a concern.
How to Book a Mobile Notary Appointment
Step 1 – Call or text 847-436-5222
Let us know your location, the type of document(s) you need notarized, and your preferred date and time. We'll confirm availability and provide a quote for the travel fee.
Step 2 – Prepare your documents and ID
Have your complete, ready-to-sign document(s) prepared. For a jurat (sworn statement), do not sign until the notary is present. For an acknowledgment, you may sign beforehand. All signers must have a valid, non-expired government-issued photo ID.
Step 3 – We arrive at your location
Our notary will arrive at the scheduled time, verify identities, witness signatures, administer any required oaths, and apply the official notarial seal. Most appointments are completed in under 15 minutes for standard documents.
Mobile Notary Pricing
Mobile notary fees consist of two parts: the standard Illinois notary fee ($5 per notarial act) plus a travel fee based on your distance from our Naperville location. Call 847-436-5222 for a specific quote — we're transparent about pricing upfront.
