Mobile Hospital Notary Services in Charlotte, NC
We provide mobile notary services at hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and assisted living facilities throughout Charlotte, NC. If a signer cannot travel, we come directly to their location — a hospital bed, an ICU waiting room, or a rehab facility room.
Families in Charlotte often need a bedside notary on short notice: a parent is admitted and needs a Power of Attorney signed before surgery, a spouse needs a Healthcare Proxy notarized during an extended hospital stay, or a hospital social worker requests HIPAA authorization paperwork before discharge planning can begin. We understand these situations are stressful, and we work directly with hospital staff, charge nurses, and social workers to make the notarization as smooth as possible.
Documents We Commonly Notarize
What Does a Hospital Notary Visit Cost?
North Carolina law caps the notarial fee at $10 per notarized principal signature, regardless of where the notarization takes place.
For a hospital or bedside visit, a separate travel fee applies at the current IRS mileage rate, calculated from our office to the hospital. There is no separate "hospital surcharge" — you're paying the statutory notary fee plus mileage, the same as any other mobile appointment.
Call or text us with the hospital name and how many signatures are needed, and we'll give you the exact total before you book — no surprises at bedside.
Credentials Families Can Verify
Your NC notary commission can be verified directly through the North Carolina Secretary of State's website.

- All signers must be alert, aware, and able to communicate.
- A valid government-issued photo ID is required for all signers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you come to a hospital room same-day?
Yes, we frequently fulfill same-day requests for hospital bedside notarizations. However, we ask that you secure approval from the nursing staff regarding visitation policies before we arrive.
What if the patient does not have a physical ID on them?
If a physical ID (like a Driver's License or Passport) was left at home, North Carolina law may allow the use of credible identifying witnesses. Call us directly to discuss the specific circumstances so we can verify if this option is legally viable.
Does the patient need to be awake and communicative?
Absolutely. By law, the notary must assess that the signer is alert, aware of what they are signing, and signing willingly. We cannot notarize documents for a patient who is unconscious, heavily medicated to the point of impairment, or unable to communicate.
Do I need to print the documents, or can you bring them?
We typically ask that you print the documents beforehand or have the hospital social worker print them. If that is impossible, we can offer document printing services for an additional convenience fee if you email us the files prior to the appointment.
Can a nurse or doctor act as a witness?
Hospital staff and doctors are usually prohibited by hospital policy from acting as witnesses for legal documents. We recommend arranging for friends or non-beneficiary family members to act as witnesses. If needed, we can try to provide a witness for an additional fee.

We serve all major hospitals and care facilities in Charlotte, NC and the surrounding metro, including Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center, Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center Charlotte, Atrium Health Pineville, CMC-Mercy, and rehabilitation centers throughout Mecklenburg, Union, and Cabarrus counties.
