When you need a notary on a Saturday to sign an important document, you can go to your local bank or library, some check-cashing stores and hotels, or a UPS Store, or you can contact a mobile notary to come to you.
Many places offer the service for free, but a mobile notary will charge a fee determined by the state.
We explain your options, including their fees and requirements, below.

For example, some Walt Disney World Resort Hotels offer notary services through their business centers. The UPS Store also partners with many hotels to provide business center services, including notary service, during conventions and other large business gatherings.
Many times, hotels will partner with local notaries to provide services to their guests on an as-needed basis. It’s also common to find airport hotels with business centers that offer notary services.
