Mobile Notary Service in Arlington
A mobile notary public is a commissioned notary who travels to a client’s location in Arlington to witness signatures, administer oaths and certify documents. The work performed is identical to that of an in-office notary. The convenience is the difference. Mobile notary service exists for Arlington residents who cannot easily leave home or workplace, families navigating a hospital signing for a loved one, title companies coordinating real estate closings at a buyer’s residence, employers verifying remote hires with I-9 forms, and anyone who values their time enough to skip the trip across town.
Massachusetts notary law requires the signer to appear in person before the notary and present valid government-issued photo identification. Every notarization we perform in Arlington follows Chapter 222 of the Massachusetts General Laws, including identity verification, willingness assessment, awareness checks and proper journal recording.

Loan Signing Agent for Arlington Real Estate Closings
As a National Notary Association Certified Loan Signing Agent, Hanson handles mortgage closings, refinances, home equity lines, deed transfers and real estate purchase agreements for title companies, mortgage lenders and real estate attorneys with Arlington clients. Each loan signing package contains 80 to 150 pages, multiple signature points and specific notarial certificates that must be executed in a particular order. We are trained to spot missing initials, incorrect dates and other errors before the package returns to the title company. Same-day signings in Arlington are available when coordinated in advance.
Powers of Attorney for Arlington Residents
Powers of attorney are among the most common documents we notarize for Arlington clients. Massachusetts recognizes general, durable, limited and healthcare powers of attorney, each with specific use cases. A durable power of attorney remains effective if the principal becomes incapacitated, making it essential for elder care planning. A healthcare proxy authorizes medical decisions when the patient cannot communicate. Mobile notary service for powers of attorney is particularly valuable for elderly Arlington residents, individuals in rehabilitation, hospital patients and anyone unable to travel.
Wills, Trusts and Estate Documents
While Massachusetts does not require notarization of a last will for it to be valid, a self-proving affidavit attached to a will eliminates the need for witnesses to testify in probate court. Revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts and trust amendments do require notarization in many cases. We handle estate planning documents at Arlington law offices, family residences and senior care facilities. Coordinating with an estate planning attorney for a notary visit is often the most efficient way to complete these signings.
Apostille Service for International Documents
An apostille is a certificate issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth that authenticates a notarized document for use in another Hague Convention country. We notarize the underlying document, prepare the apostille application and submit it to the Massachusetts State House on your behalf. The Secretary of the Commonwealth charges $6 per apostille. For federal documents such as FBI background checks and IRS letters, we coordinate with the United States Department of State. Arlington apostille clients commonly need documents for adoption, foreign marriage certificates, international school transcripts, work visas and dual citizenship applications.
Hospital and Bedside Notarizations Near Arlington
Hospital and nursing home bedside notarizations are some of our most important work in Arlington and the surrounding area. Families face critical decisions during medical events.
