Spoiler alert: It’s not just about location—it’s about access, trust, and convenience. Whether you’re signing a lease in Brooklyn, closing on a home in Queens, or managing legal documents remotely from another state, finding the right notary can save you time, money, and major headaches.
So how do you spot the notary that fits your needs and your schedule?
Here’s how to make sure you’re not just choosing a notary—but the right one.
1. Know What Kind of Notary You Need
Before scheduling an appointment, consider the type of notary service required:
A general notary for affidavits, powers of attorney, and other common documents
A Loan Signing Agent for mortgage and real estate closings
A Remote Online Notary (RON) for fully digital notarization without leaving your home
At Alexia Signature Solutions, I provide all these services with flexibility and professionalism, serving clients in NYC and beyond.
2. Prioritize Convenience—Without Compromising Security
Time is valuable, and waiting in line at an office is often unnecessary. Consider these options:
Mobile notaries who come to your location—whether home, workplace, or a convenient public spot
Remote Online Notarization that allows you to sign documents securely from your laptop, without travel
It’s essential to ensure any online platform used is secure, encrypted, and compliant with relevant state laws. My platform meets these standards, ensuring your documents and information remain protected.
3. Look for Credentials and Experience
Not all notaries offer the same level of service. When selecting a notary, check for:
State certification and official commission
Background checks, especially for loan signing agents
Positive client reviews and testimonials
Transparent business practices, including clear contact information, services offered, and pricing
As the founder of Alexia Signature Solutions, I, Alexus Alford, am committed to providing smooth, secure, and stress-free signing experiences.
4. Think Local, but Don’t Limit Yourself by Geography
While NYC has a large number of notaries, your best option may be just a few clicks away thanks to remote notarization.
Remote services allow you to:
Work with trusted professionals regardless of their physical location
Access your documents digitally and keep thorough records of your appointments
Enjoy flexible scheduling that isn’t restricted to typical business hours
Clients from Manhattan to Miami trust my services for a wide range of documents, from powers of attorney to loan closings.
5. Ask the Right Questions Before You Book
A reputable notary will welcome your questions. Some important ones to ask include:
How do you verify the signer’s identity?
What is your typical turnaround time?
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Can you handle sensitive or confidential documents?
If answers feel unclear or dismissive, it’s a sign to continue your search.
At Alexia Signature Solutions, I believe transparency builds trust. You will know exactly what to expect throughout the entire notarization process.
Final Thoughts: Notary Services Should Work for You
The best notary isn’t simply the closest one. It’s a service that prioritizes accessibility, reliability, and professionalism. Whether you’re across the boroughs or across the country, you deserve a notary who is:
Easy to access
Legally compliant
Respectful of your time and schedule
