-
Patients should always be coherent, cognizant and willing to sign the documents when the Notary arrives.
-
You should always try to contact the patient prior to the Notary's visit to the care facility to discuss the reason you are sending a Notary to them and to explain what the document entails. Notaries are not responsible for going over documents with patients, as Notaries are not attorneys and can't offer legal advice.
-
If your document calls for a witness, please note that many facilities do not permit their staff members to act as document witnesses. You should pose this question to the facility staff prior to booking your Notary appointment. If they do not allow their staff members to act as witnesses, you may request that the notary arrange for them; an additional fee may be charged.
-
Notaries are not allowed to create documents for the patient, such as advance healthcare directives, affidavits, wills, etc., unless they are also a licensed document preparer or an attorney. You should always be prepared with your document when requesting a Notary.
-
If you are not able to be present for the signing, you should always discuss with your Notary how the documents should be returned to you (UPS, FEDEX, or regular mail). Additional fees may apply.
Mobile Notary Services for Hospitals & Care Facilities
Durable Power of Attorney – Description:
This type of power of attorney functions like a standard POA but stays in effect if the principal becomes incapacitated. It authorizes the appointed agent to handle legal and financial matters on their behalf.
Guardianship Papers – Description:
These forms designate a guardian to oversee the medical and personal care of an individual who is no longer able to make decisions independently. Notarization helps verify the document’s authenticity and ensures all parties involved have provided informed consent.
Trust Documents – Description:
Trust documents create a legal arrangement in which assets are held and managed by one party for the benefit of another. Patients may choose to establish a trust to organize and protect their affairs, with notarization required to ensure the documents are legally valid and enforceable.
Wills and Testaments – Description:
A will is a legal document that specifies how a person’s assets and property should be distributed after their passing. Individuals in hospitals or care facilities may need to draft or update their wills, and notarization is often required to confirm its authenticity and enforceability.
Beneficiary Designation Forms – Description:
These forms identify who will receive benefits from life insurance policies, retirement accounts, or other financial assets. Notarization helps confirm the signer’s intent and ensures the forms are properly executed and legally binding.
Consent to Surgery or Medical Treatment – Description:
When a patient is unable to provide consent, this document authorizes a designated individual to approve medical procedures on their behalf. Notarization is often required to verify the validity and authenticity of the authorization.
Medical Records Release – Description:
This form authorizes a patient to permit the sharing of their medical records with another individual or organization. Notarization helps verify the authenticity of the consent. (This form may be part of a HIPAA Authorization.)
Advance Healthcare Directive (Living Will) – Description:
This document specifies a person’s wishes regarding medical treatment if they are unable to make decisions on their own. It typically covers choices about life support, resuscitation, and other essential healthcare options.
Power of Attorney for Healthcare – Description:
This legal document authorizes a person to make healthcare decisions for someone else if they become unable to do so. It ensures that the designated individual can act in the patient’s best interest regarding medical treatment and care.
HIPAA Authorization – Description:
This document grants healthcare providers permission to share a patient’s medical information with specified individuals or organizations. It is essential for allowing access to medical records by family members or other designated parties. (While not usually notarized, it can be if required.)
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders – Description:
A DNR order is a request that healthcare providers do not perform CPR if the patient's heart stops or they stop breathing. Notarization helps ensure that the order is legally recognized and enforced by medical personnel.
Affidavits – Description:
Affidavits are sworn written statements used in legal proceedings. Patients or their representatives might need to submit affidavits for different legal purposes, with notarization serving to verify the truthfulness and authenticity of the statements.
These documents frequently require notarization to ensure their legal validity and proper execution. Notarization helps verify the identity of the signers and confirms that the documents are genuine, which is essential for their recognition and acceptance by healthcare providers, legal authorities, financial institutions, and other relevant entities. Properly notarized documents help facilitate smooth processing, enforceability, and compliance with legal and procedural requirements across various settings.

If I Can't Help You In
I'll Do My Best to Help You Find Who Can!
Hi, I’m Tifini — a reliable and experienced Mobile Notary based in Burlingame, CA. I proudly serve San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, providing emergency notary service at hospital and care facilities with professionalism and care.
Whether it's a Power of Attorney, Advance Healthcare Directive, or other urgent document, I’m here to help patients and families during difficult times — always punctual, respectful, and detail-focused.
A Notary Public in California is a state-appointed official who helps deter fraud by verifying the identity of people signing important documents. I make sure the signer is willing and aware of what they’re signing. Think of a Notary as a trusted witness for life’s most important paperwork.
It’s easy! Just contact a California Notary like me, bring your valid ID, and I’ll guide you through the process step by step. I’ll first verify your identity, make sure you understand what you're signing, and then have you sign both the document and my notary journal in my presence. Once everything checks out, I’ll complete the notarial certificate with my signature and official stamp to make it a legally valid notarized document.
In California, a Notary can charge up to $15 per signature and an additional $15 for each oath or affirmation administered. If you’re using Mobile Notary services, a travel fee will also apply based on your location and how soon you need the appointment. I always provide the full cost upfront, so there are no surprises—just honest, reliable service.
You’ll need a valid, unexpired photo ID issued by a government agency—like a driver’s license, passport, or state ID. If your ID is expired, there are still options (see question 13), so don’t worry.
I provide mobile notary services throughout San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. That includes cities like Burlingame, San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Redwood City, Daly City, Foster City, Atherton, South San Francisco, and more. If you’re unsure if I travel to your area, just ask!
Most appointments take about 15–20 minutes, depending on the number of documents and how many signers are involved. I always aim to make it smooth, quick, and stress-free.
I notarize a wide range of documents—everything from Powers of Attorney and affidavits to loan packages, medical forms, and estate planning paperwork like trusts and advance healthcare directives. I also handle business-related documents that often require notarization and apostille certification, such as Articles of Incorporation, Certificates of Good Standing, meeting minutes, bylaws, and corporate resolutions. If you're unsure whether your document needs to be notarized—or if it may need an apostille for international use—just reach out and I’ll be happy to guide you.
Yes, I carry $1 million in Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, which protects both you and me if something goes wrong during the notarization process. While many notaries at places like the UPS Store may not have personal coverage—or rely only on minimal store policies—I’ve invested in full professional protection. It’s just one more way I provide peace of mind and accountability when handling your important documents.
If your ID is expired, don’t panic. There are still ways to move forward with a notarization. As a California Notary, I can sometimes use two credible witnesses or accept alternative forms of identification, depending on your situation and the type of document. Just reach out—I’ll walk you through your options and make sure everything is handled properly and legally.
Booking an appointment is quick and easy. You can fill out my online booking form, send me a text, or give me a call. I’ll confirm availability, go over any questions you may have, and lock in a time that works best for you. I’m flexible with same-day and after-hours notary appointments when needed.
