Mobile Notary vs. Going to a Bank: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

When it comes to notarizing important documents, many people immediately think of going to a bank or shipping center. But what if there were a more flexible, private, and convenient option, especially when time, transportation, or personal privacy is a concern?

That’s where a mobile notary comes in.

Let’s break down the differences between going to a traditional notary (like at a bank) and hiring a mobile notary, and why the latter might be your best option.

Traditional Notary at a Bank: The Basics

Banks and shipping stores (like UPS) often offer notary services. Here’s what you can expect:

• Standard business hours only

• First come, first served (often no appointments)

• Limited types of documents they’ll notarize

• You go to them, not the other way around

• May only notarize for existing customers (especially at banks)

• For many people, this works fine if you have time during the day and the document is straightforward.

What Is a Mobile Notary?

A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to your location, whether it's your home, office, hospital, courthouse, senior facility, or even a coffee shop.

At Five Star Notary Service, we offer professional, mobile notary appointments throughout West Palm Beach and surrounding areas, and we come to you on your schedule.
