Question 1

What is a mobile notary?

Accepted Answer

A mobile notary travels to a location that works for you — your home, office, a business, a healthcare facility, or another agreed meeting place — to perform notarial acts, instead of requiring you to visit a fixed storefront. PAPER & SIGN brings appointment-based notary and document services to you throughout Fayette, Coweta & Spalding Counties and South Metro Atlanta.

The Georgia statutory fee for a notarial act is $2 per notarial act.
