Weekend Notary Service From A to Z

Do you need to get a contract notarized outside of business hours? Even though most local notaries operate Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., finding a weekend notary service isn’t impossible. Learn how to notarize documents any day of the week by reading our comprehensive guide. Create your contracts and get them notarized quickly from any device.

Is a Notary Open on Sunday and Saturday?

Many notaries choose to work outside of regular business hours, which means that you’ll probably be able to find a notary on weekends. To get your documents notarized on Saturdays and Sundays, you can:

  • Check if your bank operates on Saturdays—Some bank branches are open for a few hours every Saturday. You can call your bank to check which branch offers notary services and schedule an appointment with their notary public
  • Visit a shipping store that’s open on weekendsUPS, USPS, FedEx, and other shipping service providers usually operate on weekends. Since most of their stores employ a notary, you can get your contracts notarized there
  • Hire a mobile notary—Most mobile notaries work outside of common business hours, which means that you can hire a traveling notary public after 5 p.m. and on weekends. A traveling notary can come to your office, house, or any other place you choose. While traveling notaries usually notarize real estate contracts, you can also hire them for other documents, including wills, affidavits, and trusts
  • Sign up for one of the online notary services—If you prefer getting your documents notarized from the comfort of your home, you should consider using an online notary service. On most platforms, you can get remote notarial services any day of the week

Do Notaries Charge More for Weekend Notary Services?

Notaries should charge the same fee regardless of their working hours. State laws usually dictate the maximum amount of the fee, but some states allow notaries to determine the notary service costs independently.

If you choose to hire a mobile notary, you will have to cover his or her travel expenses as well. The notary’s duty is to inform you about the fee before he or she performs a notarial act.

Traditional Notarization Process vs. Online Notary Services

The current notarization procedure can be tiresome because you need to:

  1. Find an available notary
  2. Schedule an appointment
  3. Bring your documents to the notary’s office
  4. Wait while the notary verifies your identity
  5. Pay for notary service fees
  6. Wait until the notary public completes the certificate and notarizes your contracts

Since the traditional process can last for a few days, online notary services are a more efficient and simpler alternative. You can notarize your contracts in a few clicks from your preferred device. The only drawback of most online notary platforms is the high notarization fee (up to $25 per document).
