Notary Public Near Me in Massachusetts
You searched for a notary near you. The closest one is the one who drives to your door. A commissioned Massachusetts notary public travels to homes, offices, hospitals and care facilities across Greater Boston, the Merrimack Valley, Central Massachusetts and the North Shore, seven days a week.
How do you find a notary public near you in Massachusetts right now?
Call (978) 424-4629, say which town you are in and what you need signed, and a commissioned Massachusetts notary public drives to you. We work seven days a week, confirm same-day visits by phone, and cover 177 cities and towns, so the nearest notary is usually the one already on the road toward you.
Most people who type “notary near me” into a phone are standing in a kitchen, a hospital corridor or an office with a document that has to be signed today. The search results they get back are a map of bank branches and shipping counters, half of which have no notary on duty at that hour. Our mobile notary service flips that problem around: instead of you finding an open location, the notary comes to the address you already occupy.
Hanson Webb has held a Massachusetts notary commission since 2007 and has completed more than 1,190 signings across the state. He is an NNA Certified Loan Signing Agent, background screened, bonded and E&O insured, and fluent in English, Arabic and French. The business is a service of Neighborhood Parcel at 1215 Main St, Suite 115, Tewksbury, MA 01876, which is also where you can walk in for a $45 in-office notarization if you would rather come to us.
Every notarial act we perform follows M.G.L. c.222. That means a photo ID check against the name on the document, a signature made or acknowledged in the notary’s presence, a journal entry, and the correct certificate wording for an acknowledgment, jurat, signature witnessing or copy certification. A notary cannot give legal advice or explain what a document will do, so have your attorney’s questions answered before we arrive.

Where is a notary near me in Greater Boston?
In Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Quincy, Newton and the surrounding cities, a mobile notary reaches you at a Zone 3 flat rate from $250 per visit with travel, tolls and parking covered. We serve every Boston neighborhood, from Back Bay brownstones to Dorchester triple-deckers, and the hospitals of the Longwood Medical Area.
Boston is where “notary near me” searches are densest and where finding one is hardest. Parking is scarce, bank lobbies close at four, and a signer recovering at Mass General, Beth Israel Deaconess, Brigham and Women’s or Tufts Medical Center cannot walk anywhere. We handle those visits regularly, including hospital notary visits in Boston for health care proxies, powers of attorney and estate paperwork at the bedside.
Downtown and Seaport law firms and title offices book us for signatures that cannot wait for a courier run. Residents in the South End, Beacon Hill and Charlestown book us for deeds, condo documents and school forms. The Boston notary location page covers the full city, including Allston, Brighton, Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Mattapan, East Boston, South Boston, the North End, Fenway and Charlestown.

Where is a notary near me in the Merrimack Valley?
The Merrimack Valley is our home territory. Our office sits at 1215 Main St in Tewksbury, so Lowell, Billerica, Andover, Chelmsford, Dracut, Lawrence and Methuen are Zone 2 towns from $179 per visit, Tewksbury itself is Zone 1 from $125, and North Andover and Haverhill are Zone 3 from $250.
Because we start the day here, this is where same-day requests are easiest to fit in. A Lowell General Hospital patient who needs a health care proxy, a Lawrence family finalizing a durable power of attorney for a parent, an Andover homeowner signing a refinance package after work: these are the appointments we drive to most often. Tewksbury residents can skip the travel fee entirely by stopping at our in-office notary service for $45 per act.
Lowell’s immigrant communities in the Acre and Lower Highlands frequently need documents for use abroad, which is where our Massachusetts apostille service comes in: we notarize the document and handle the $6 state authentication at the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Hanson’s Arabic and French fluency means a signer in Lawrence or Methuen can have the notarial ceremony conducted in a language they fully understand, although the document itself must still be one they can read.
The Middlesex North Registry of Deeds in Lowell and the Essex North Registry in Lawrence both accept deeds we notarize. If you are meeting a buyer, seller or attorney near either registry and need a quitclaim deed or 6D certificate signed on the spot, tell us the address and we will meet you there.
Where is a notary near me in Central Massachusetts and MetroWest?
Worcester, Fitchburg, Leominster and Concord are Zone 2 towns from $179 per visit; Gardner is Zone 1 from $125 because of our ties to the area; and Lexington, Waltham, Newton, Wellesley and Weston are Zone 3 from $250. We cover Route 2 from Lexington to Athol and the Route 9 corridor from Newton to Worcester.
Worcester is the second-largest city in New England and has more hospitals per square mile than anywhere outside Boston. UMass Memorial, Saint Vincent and the rehabilitation facilities around them generate a steady need for bedside notarizations of health care proxies under M.G.L. c.201D and powers of attorney under M.G.L. c.190B. Our Worcester notary page explains how we schedule those visits around nursing shifts.
North of Route 2, Fitchburg, Leominster and Gardner are towns where the nearest walk-in notary can be a long drive and short hours. We treat them as part of the home base.
MetroWest is a different kind of search. In Newton, Wellesley, Weston and Waltham the issue is not distance but schedule: two-income households, executives who cannot leave the office, and seniors in assisted living along Route 128. We arrive at the time you name, including evenings. Lexington and Concord homeowners book us for estate planning signings, often alongside their attorney, and for the trust and will notarizations that follow a death in the family.
Where is a notary near me on the North Shore?
Burlington, Woburn and Wilmington are Zone 2 towns from $179 per visit along the Route 128 and I-93 corridor, while Lynn, Gloucester, Salem, Beverly, Peabody and the coastal towns out to Rockport are Zone 3 from $250. We drive the full length of Route 128 to Cape Ann.
Burlington and Woburn are office-park country. Corporate clients there book business and corporate notary services for resolutions, officer certificates, vendor affidavits and I-9 verifications for new hires who start on Monday. Lahey Hospital in Burlington generates the same kind of bedside work we see in Boston, and our Burlington notary page covers how we handle it.
Lynn is a city of 100,000 with a large Spanish-, Khmer- and Arabic-speaking population and limited walk-in notary options after 5 p.m. We can conduct the notarial ceremony in Arabic or French; for other languages, the signer must be able to communicate with the notary directly or through an interpreter they arrange. Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester-by-the-Sea and Essex are the far end of the North Shore, where a walk-in notary can mean a 40-minute round trip to Beverly or Danvers. A single Zone 3 visit replaces that.
Wilmington sits right next to Tewksbury, so Wilmington residents often get the fastest same-day response of any Zone 2 town.
What does a notary visit near you cost by zone?
A mobile notary visit costs from $125 in Zone 1, $179 in Zone 2 and $250 in Zone 3, and every rate includes travel to your door, one notary seal and 15 minutes of service time. The zone depends only on the signing address, so you know the price before we leave Tewksbury.

Same-day requests with under four hours’ notice add $25; evening visits after 6 p.m. and weekend visits carry a surcharge on top of the zone rate. Zone 3 parking is billed at actual cost. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are nonrefundable. We accept credit and debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Zelle and cash, and offer direct billing for attorneys. Full details are on the notary zones and pricing page and in our guide to the cost of a mobile notary in Massachusetts.
Is there a notary near me open now? Same-day, evening, weekend and holiday visits
Yes. We take calls seven days a week, and same-day, evening, weekend and holiday appointments are scheduled by confirmation at (978) 424-4629. “Open now” for a mobile notary means the phone is answered and a notary can be at your address, not that a storefront door is unlocked.
Same-day visits are the core of what we do. Most are confirmed within the hour during business hours; when we are already on the road in your zone, the wait can be shorter than the drive to a bank.
Evening appointments after 6 p.m. are for people who work during the day: a couple signing a refinance at the kitchen table at 7:30, a nurse coming off shift, a small-business owner who can only sit down after closing. Evening visits carry a surcharge on top of the zone rate. Our emergency notary page explains how late-night and urgent hospital requests are handled.
Weekends are when families gather, which is when powers of attorney, health care proxies and wills get signed. Saturday and Sunday visits are scheduled the same way as weekday visits, with a weekend surcharge, and are covered in detail on our weekend notary service page. Holidays are handled case by case; call and we will tell you honestly whether we can make it.

What should you have ready when the notary arrives?
Have a current, unexpired government photo ID, the complete unsigned document, and every signer present in the same room. Those three things cover almost every notarization; witnesses, if your document requires them, are your responsibility to arrange.
Massachusetts accepts a state driver’s license or ID card, a U.S. passport, a passport card, a military ID, or a foreign passport with a photograph and signature. The name on the ID should match the name on the document; small variations like a missing middle initial can usually be handled, but a maiden name on the ID and a married name on the deed cannot. Utility bills, photocopies and expired licenses are not acceptable. Our guide to what ID is accepted for notarization in Massachusetts goes through every edge case.
Do not sign before we arrive. An acknowledgment can be signed earlier and acknowledged in person, but a jurat requires the signature to be made in front of the notary after an oath. If you are not sure which certificate your document carries, leave it blank and we will sort it out at the table. The acknowledgment versus jurat guide explains the difference.
Bring the whole document, not just the signature page, and bring every signer. A notary verifies the identity of the person in front of them; a spouse cannot sign for a spouse, and a child cannot sign for a parent unless an existing power of attorney authorizes it, in which case bring that too. If the signer is in a hospital or care facility, confirm they are alert and able to communicate; a notary must refuse if the signer does not appear to understand what they are signing. The full checklist is in how to prepare for a mobile notary visit.

Which documents do people search a nearby notary for?
Powers of attorney, health care proxies, real estate deeds, affidavits, I-9 and CORI forms, vehicle titles, trust documents and apostille paperwork make up most of the “notary near me” calls we take. We notarize all of them at your location, and every one starts with the same ID check and journal entry under M.G.L. c.222 s.15.
Power of attorney
Durable, limited and springing POAs under M.G.L. c.190B, often signed at a parent’s home or bedside.
POA notarizationHealth care proxy
Massachusetts proxies under M.G.L. c.201D need witnesses, not a notary, but many facilities and out-of-state providers ask for one anyway.

Two document types deserve a note. First, mortgage closings in Massachusetts must be conducted by a licensed attorney. When a lender or title company sends us a refinance or purchase package, we act as the notary and signing agent supporting the closing attorney, and the attorney remains responsible for the closing itself. Our loan signing agent service explains that arrangement in full.
Second, a notary cannot certify copies of vital records such as birth, marriage or death certificates; those come from the city clerk or the Registry of Vital Records. We can certify copies of diplomas, passports, letters and most other personal documents under M.G.L. c.222 s.15, as described on our copy certification page.

Why is a mobile notary the fastest “notary near me” answer?
A mobile notary removes the two things that make a “notary near me” search fail: the trip and the hours. Banks, shipping stores and town clerks can all notarize, and for a single page during business hours with a flexible schedule, any of them may be the right call; for anything time-sensitive, multi-signer or bedside, the notary who comes to you is faster.
Banks and credit unions. Many branches have a notary on staff, often free for account holders. The limits are real: the notary may be at lunch or off that day, most branches will not notarize for non-customers, many refuse wills, trusts, powers of attorney and real estate documents as a matter of policy, and lobby hours end in the late afternoon. If you have an account, call the specific branch first and ask whether the notary is in and whether they will handle your document type.
Shipping and office-supply stores. Convenient for a quick acknowledgment on a single form, and usually open later than banks. The staff notary may not be on every shift, some locations cap the number of documents or signers, and the setting is a retail counter rather than a private table. Fees are set per signature and vary by location.
Town and city clerks. Most Massachusetts clerks’ offices have a notary and charge little or nothing. They keep weekday municipal hours, often close for lunch, and are not able to come to a hospital, a nursing home or your kitchen. If you are mobile and your document is simple, the clerk is a good option; if you are not, it is not.
A mobile notary. Costs more per visit than any of the above because travel is built in. In return, you choose the time including evenings and weekends, you choose the place including hospitals and care facilities, every signer and document type is handled in one sitting, and the notary who answers the phone is the one who shows up. For a signer who cannot travel, a document with several signers, or a package that must go out today, the price difference is smaller than the cost of a missed deadline. Our mobile versus online notary comparison covers the remote option as well, including when Massachusetts remote online notarization under 2023 Acts c.2 is and is not accepted.

One more honest point. A notary is a notary: the seal we apply carries the same legal weight as the one at your bank, because both are commissioned by the Governor under M.G.L. c.222. What you pay for with a mobile visit is time, place and certainty, not a better stamp. What you get from an 18-year commission and 1,190 signings is a notary who has seen your document type before and knows which certificate it needs. If you want to understand the office itself, our Massachusetts notary public page and the notary versus attorney guide explain what a notary can and cannot do.
Notary near me: frequently asked questions
How quickly can a notary get to me in Massachusetts?
Most same-day requests are confirmed within the hour during business hours, and arrival depends on where we are in the day’s route and which zone you are in. Tewksbury, Wilmington, Billerica and Lowell are typically the fastest; Boston and the far North Shore take longer because of traffic and distance. Call (978) 424-4629 and we will give you a realistic window, not a guess.
Do you provide witnesses?
No. We do not provide, bring, coordinate or serve as witnesses. If your document requires witnesses, such as a Massachusetts will, you arrange qualified adults who are not named in the document and have them present when we arrive.
Is a mobile notary near me open on weekends and evenings?
Yes. We schedule Saturday, Sunday and evening visits by phone confirmation, seven days a week. Evening visits after 6 p.m. and weekend visits carry a surcharge on top of the zone rate, which we quote before dispatch. Holidays are handled case by case.
How much does a notary near me cost in Massachusetts?
Mobile visits start at $125 in Zone 1 (Tewksbury, Gardner, Ashby, Athol), $179 in Zone 2 (Lowell, Andover, Worcester, Concord and about 50 others) and $250 in Zone 3 (Boston, Cambridge, Newton, Lynn and about 115 others). Every rate includes travel, one seal and 15 minutes. In-office notarization at our Tewksbury address is $45 per notarial act.
What ID do I need for a notary in Massachusetts?
A current, unexpired government-issued photo ID: a Massachusetts or other state driver’s license or ID card, a U.S. passport or passport card, a military ID, or a foreign passport. The name should match the document. Expired IDs, photocopies and utility bills are not accepted.
Can a notary come to a hospital or nursing home near me?
Yes. Hospital, rehabilitation and nursing-home visits are a regular part of our work and are included in Zone 3 rates. The signer must be awake, able to communicate and able to understand what they are signing; a notary is required to refuse if that is not the case. Tell us the facility and unit when you book so we can plan around visiting hours and shift changes.
Can a notary explain my document or tell me which form to use?
No. A notary public is not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice, draft documents or explain what a document will do once signed. We can tell you which notarial certificate your document carries and whether it is complete enough to notarize. For anything about meaning or effect, ask an attorney before the appointment.
Do you serve towns that are not on your zone list?
Usually, yes. The zone list covers 177 cities and towns, and any Massachusetts address outside it can be quoted individually when you call or book online. We confirm the rate before the visit so there are no surprises on arrival.
