Seven reasons people call us today.
Every one of these situations is time-sensitive. We know that. We hold open slots specifically for same-day requests so you are not left waiting.
Healthcare proxy or POA before surgery
A family member needs a healthcare proxy, durable power of attorney or estate document before a procedure or hospice begins. We prioritize these calls.
Wills & Trusts Service →Rate lock expires and the package just arrived
Lender’s package landed in your inbox this morning and the rate lock expires tomorrow. Once we have the package by email, same-day signing is usually possible within 4 hours.
Loan Signing Service →Affidavit needed before today’s court filing
Court filings wait for no one. If your affidavit or sworn statement needs to be notarized before end of business today, call first thing. We work around court hours.
Oath Administration →Minor’s travel consent before tomorrow’s flight
International travel with a minor requires a notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent. Call us today — we handle these in under 20 minutes in office or mobile.
Apostille Service →I-9 verification for a hire starting Monday
The three-business-day clock starts on day one. If a new employee starts Monday, Friday is the last day to complete Section 2 without a violation. We handle same-day I-9 verification.
I-9 Service →CORI form needed for a job offer accepted today
Employer needs a notarized CORI authorization before the onboarding paperwork closes. We handle CORI notarizations in under 15 minutes at our Tewksbury office.

When same-day works.
Where we go same-day.
In-office at 1215 Main St, Tewksbury. Mobile to all towns below. Greater Boston priced for travel time.
Five questions we ask when you call. Ready answers speed you up.
Same-day capacity is real, and it is finite. The first phone call decides how fast everything after it goes, which is why we run it the same way every time, whoever answers and whatever the emergency. When you call 978-424-4629, these are the five things we need to know, in this order. Callers who have the answers ready routinely go from first ring to confirmed appointment in under five minutes.
1. What is the document, and who receives it?
We do not choose your notarial act. The receiving agency, attorney, lender or court decides what they require, and their instructions control the appointment. If the receiving side sent a cover letter, an email or a certificate page, have it in front of you when you call. Reading their exact wording to us once saves a second trip later.
2. Who signs, and does each signer have valid ID?
Every signer needs unexpired government-issued photo ID, with a name matching the document. Discovering an expired license at the counter is the most common same-day failure, and it is checkable in the time it takes to open a wallet. Name recently changed? Say so on the call and we talk through what the situation allows before you drive anywhere.
3. Are witnesses required?
Some documents need witnesses in addition to the notary, and the receiving side’s instructions usually say so. Witnesses generally must be adults who are not parties to the document. Same-day witness hunting is the step people underestimate, so settle it before booking: who is coming, and do they qualify under the instructions you were given.
4. Is the document printed and complete?
A document still sitting in an inbox is not ready to notarize. For loan packages, email works: once we have the full package, same-day signing is usually possible within hours. For everything else, bring every page printed, including the pages nobody signs, because a notarized signature page separated from its document creates problems downstream.
5. When is the real deadline?
A court filing at 2 PM, a flight at 6 AM tomorrow, a recording cutoff at the registry: we schedule against the actual deadline, not the hour you happened to call. Tell us the hard time and we tell you honestly whether today works, which slot protects you, and when the answer is to be first through the door tomorrow morning.
Office visit or mobile call?
If you can get to 1215 Main St in Tewksbury, the office is the fastest and least expensive route: free parking at the door, most appointments done in 15 to 20 minutes. If the signer cannot travel, a hospital bed, a facility, a workplace that cannot spare you, mobile service comes to the document instead. Tell us which situation you are in and the schedule question answers itself.
When the answer is no
Honesty about limits is part of same-day service. We decline when ID cannot be verified, when a document arrives incomplete, or when someone asks us to choose their notarial act for them, since a notary cannot give legal advice. And when a signer’s awareness is in doubt on the day, we reschedule at no charge rather than proceed. A rushed notarization done wrong helps nobody.
A note on documents arriving by email, because it comes up on half the urgent calls. Loan packages sent directly from the lender or title company work smoothly: we receive, print and prepare the full set before you arrive. For other documents, the person who owns the deadline should confirm the version being signed is final. Signing an outdated draft at high speed is a mistake the calendar rarely forgives, and it happens most often on exactly the days people skip the two-minute check.
None of this is bureaucracy for its own sake. Every question above maps to a way same-day appointments fall apart, and each takes seconds to answer by phone. The pattern we see over and over: the callers in the biggest hurry are the ones who benefit most from the two-minute triage, because their deadline leaves no room for a second attempt. Answer five questions once, then the rest of the day belongs to the deadline instead of the paperwork. Details on acceptable identification live in our guide to what ID notarization requires in Massachusetts, and typical appointment lengths are covered in how long notarization takes.
Same-day math. What today actually costs.
Urgency invites price anxiety, so here is the arithmetic in the open before you call. In-office rates during standard hours carry no same-day premium at all. These six examples cover most of the urgent calls we get, worked out to the dollar, so the quote you hear on the phone is a confirmation rather than a surprise.
One affidavit before a 2 PM filing
You call at 10 AM, arrive at 11, sign, and leave before 11:20. One notarized signature in office is $45, same as any ordinary Tuesday. The courthouse gets the affidavit with hours to spare, and the urgent version of this job cost exactly what the relaxed version costs.
Minor travel consent, flight in the morning
Both parents sign one consent form for a child flying out tomorrow. First notarized signature $45, additional signature $35, so $80 total with both parents present with valid ID. Fifteen minutes in the office and the folder is airport-ready. Print the airline’s or destination country’s preferred form before you come if one is published, since border officials respond better to formats they recognize.
Estate documents at a bedside in Lowell
A healthcare proxy and power of attorney at a hospital or rehab facility is mobile work. A Zone II visit runs $199 flat with two notary seals included, additional signatures $35 each, quoted in writing before we drive. Medical calls get priority in the same-day queue, and the hospital bedside notary page covers how these visits work.
Loan package that landed this morning
Lender emails the package at 9 AM, the rate lock dies tomorrow. In-office loan signing runs $179.95, with mobile refinance signings from $150 and purchase closings from $175. NNA certified, background screened and E&O insured, which is what the lender will ask about before they ask anything else.
CORI form for a start date next week
An employer wants the notarized CORI acknowledgment back before onboarding. One notarized signature, $45, usually under 15 minutes in office. Bring the form the employer sent and your unexpired photo ID, and the offer letter stays on schedule. Details live on the CORI notarization page.
Two documents before a vendor deadline
A business owner needs two agreements notarized before a counterparty’s end-of-day cutoff. First notarized signature $45, the additional one $35, so $80 total for both documents in one short visit. Email ahead if anything needs clarifying, then come sign between meetings.
Notice what urgency never changes. The ID requirement holds whether the deadline is next month or next hour. Witnesses still must qualify. A signer whose awareness is in doubt still gets a rescheduled appointment at no charge instead of a rushed seal. The same-day promise is about speed of scheduling, never about skipping steps, because a notarization with a defect in it fails you at the worst possible moment, in front of the court or lender the whole rush was for. Fast and correct travel together here or not at all.
Weekends and evenings work differently, and we say so rather than surprise you: Saturday and Sunday are mobile-only with an after-hours surcharge disclosed before you confirm, never after. Payment is whatever is easiest: credit, debit, Apple Pay, PayPal, Zelle, cash or attorney direct billing. Fees become nonrefundable within 24 hours of the appointment, which matters for same-day bookings, so confirm your signers and ID before locking a slot.
The honest alternative belongs here too. If your document is simple, your bank branch has a notary on duty and your deadline is days away rather than hours, the bank is free and we will tell you so on the phone. Banks decline wills and unusual documents, serve their own customers first and keep banker’s hours, which is precisely when the phone here rings. The pattern repeats every week: the branch says no at 4 PM, and the deadline still says today. That gap is the entire reason this page exists. For everything on today’s clock, view current notary pricing, compare every option side by side in what a notary costs in Massachusetts, or book your appointment now and bring the deadline to us.
