Three Reasons People Choose In-Office
In-office notarization is the most affordable option for routine documents. Same notary, same certification, same care – without the travel fee.
In-Office Notary Public in Tewksbury, Massachusetts
Sometimes you don’t need a notary to come to you. Our in-office notary service at 1215 Main Street, Suite 120, Tewksbury, MA 01876 gives you the same NNA-certified notarization as our mobile service – without the travel fee. It’s the most affordable way to get a document notarized in the Greater Lowell, Andover, and Merrimack Valley area, and we operate by appointment only Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM.
Whether you need a single signature on a power of attorney, a quick I-9 employment verification, a CORI form notarized, a loan packet processed, or a stack of business filings reviewed, we handle it on the spot. Most in-office notarizations are completed in five to ten minutes. Multi-document packages typically take fifteen to thirty minutes – including time to verify each signer’s identification, review the documents for completeness, witness signatures, and apply the notarial seal and acknowledgment block.
When in-office is the right choice
Mobile notary service is essential when the signer can’t travel – bedside hospital visits, assisted-living residents, or busy professionals on a closing deadline. But for most routine notarizations, an in-office visit is faster and significantly less expensive. Choose in-office when:
- You’re already in the Tewksbury, Lowell, Andover, or Wilmington area.
- You have one to a few documents that don’t require special accommodations.
- The signer is mobile, has valid ID, and can travel.
- You want the lowest possible per-signature rate.
- You can book a same-day or next-day appointment during business hours.
- You’re an employer running an I-9 check, a tenant signing a lease, or a contractor finalizing a bill of sale.
What to bring to your appointment
Massachusetts notary law requires the signer to appear in person with current, unexpired, government-issued photo identification that includes a name and signature. Bring all of the following:
- Valid photo ID. A Massachusetts driver’s license, U.S. passport, U.S. passport card, state-issued ID, military ID, or permanent resident card. Expired documents cannot be accepted under any circumstances.
- The unsigned document. Do not sign your document before arriving. The notary must witness the signature in person.
- All required pages and exhibits. Missing pages cannot be added later without re-notarization.
- Any required witnesses. Some documents (wills, certain affidavits) require additional witnesses; we can provide one staff witness on request.
- Method of payment. Cash, credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Zelle, and business checks are accepted.
In-office pricing – transparent & flat-rate
Massachusetts statute caps notary fees at $1.25 per signature, but most professional notaries charge a service fee that reflects time, expertise, and overhead. Our in-office rates are published below – no surprise charges, no travel fee, no after-hours surcharge during regular office hours.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Single-document acknowledgment or jurat | $45 |
| Each additional signature on the same document | $15 |
| Loan signing / mortgage packet (in-office) | $95–$150 |
| I-9 employment verification | $25 |
| CORI form notarization | $45 |
| Bulk pricing (10+ signatures, business accounts) | Quoted |
| Witness service (if required) | $10 / witness |
Mobile service is available at your home, office, hospital, or any other location for an additional travel fee – typically $50–$95 depending on distance. See our mobile notary service page for full mobile pricing.
Parking, accessibility & getting here
Our office is located in a single-story commercial complex on Route 38 (Main Street), just north of the I-495 / Route 38 interchange in Tewksbury. Free on-site parking is available immediately in front of the building. The entrance is at street level with no stairs, making the office fully accessible for wheelchair users and signers with limited mobility.
By car, we’re about 3 minutes from Exit 38 off I-495, 12 minutes from downtown Lowell, 15 minutes from Andover and Lawrence, and 35 minutes from downtown Boston. By public transit, the LRTA Route 14 bus stops within walking distance. For visitors traveling from outside the area, the office is easy to find directly on Route 38 with clear signage.
Specialized in-office services
Beyond standard notarization, our in-office team handles a number of specialty services that aren’t widely available in Massachusetts:
- Multilingual notarization in Arabic and French. Hanson Webb is fully fluent in both languages and notarizes documents in any of the three (English, Arabic, French) without an interpreter – a service we’ve offered continuously since 2007.
- Apostille submission. We can notarize and prepare your document for Massachusetts apostille and ship the completed apostille directly to you or any destination worldwide. Learn more about apostille services.
- Certified document copies. For documents requiring a “true and accurate copy” certification, we can perform that service in-office, often the same day.
- Translation referrals. If your document needs translation before notarization, we partner with certified translators and can coordinate the entire workflow under one roof.
- Corporate and recurring accounts. Law firms, title companies, employers, and property managers can establish a monthly invoicing arrangement with preferred-vendor pricing and priority scheduling.

What to Expect at Your In-Office Visit
First time visiting a notary public’s office can feel unfamiliar. Here’s the full walkthrough so you arrive prepared and leave with a properly executed document.
1. Arrival & ID verification
When you arrive for your scheduled appointment, you’ll be greeted within 30 seconds. We’ll ask for your government-issued photo ID and the document you need notarized. The notary visually verifies the ID, confirms the name and signature match, and notes the ID details in our journal. This step is required by Massachusetts notary law and typically takes about a minute.
2. Document review
The notary scans the document for completeness – no blank pages, no missing exhibits, no obvious issues with the notarial language. If something needs to be added or corrected before signing, we flag it now rather than after the seal is applied. Most documents pass review without issue.
3. Signature in our presence
With the notary watching, you sign the document. Do not pre-sign – Massachusetts notary law requires the signature to occur in the notary’s physical presence. If the document calls for an oath or affirmation (a “jurat”), the notary will administer it before you sign.
4. Acknowledgment, seal & journal entry
The notary completes the acknowledgment block – printed name, signature, commission expiration, and embossed or inked seal. We log the transaction in our notary journal as required by state regulation. You receive the original document, ready for filing or recording.
5. Payment & receipt
Pay at the desk by cash, card, mobile wallet, Zelle, or check. We email or print a receipt on request. Total time, start to finish, is usually 5 to 10 minutes for a single document.
Common Reasons People Walk Into Our Office
Every visit is different. Here are five typical in-office scenarios and what to bring for each.
Power of attorney for an aging parent
Adult children regularly visit our office to notarize a durable power of attorney designating them as their parent’s financial or healthcare agent. Bring the unsigned POA, the principal’s valid photo ID, and any required witnesses. The principal must appear in person and be cognizant. Total visit: 10–15 minutes.
I-9 employment verification for a remote employer
Companies hiring Massachusetts-based remote workers often send the new employee to us for I-9 Section 2 verification. Bring the partially completed I-9 form, your List A document or List B and List C documents, and any employer instructions. We can email the completed form directly to HR. Total visit: about 10 minutes.
CORI background-check authorization
Volunteer applications, certain employment screenings, and licensing boards in Massachusetts require a notarized Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) form. Bring the form completed but unsigned, plus a valid photo ID. Total visit: 5–10 minutes.
Real estate closing documents
Buyers and sellers regularly walk in with deeds, mortgage discharges, settlement statements, or loan modification packages. We’ll review the document, witness signatures, apply the notary seal, and confirm the document is ready for recording at the appropriate Registry of Deeds. Total visit: 15–30 minutes for full packets.
Corporate filings & trustee certificates
Small business owners, nonprofit boards, and condominium trustees notarize articles of organization, certificates of vote, trustee certificates, and corporate resolutions in our office weekly. Bring all signers, signed corporate authority documentation, and valid IDs. Total visit: 15–25 minutes for typical filings.
