Fingerprints and More, Nashville, Tennessee
Mobile Notary Services
For signers who need a notarization completed properly, often as the first step before a document can receive an apostille.
Overview
Mobile Notary Services for Nashville residents
Private documents such as powers of attorney, affidavits, consent letters, and diplomas usually cannot be apostilled until they have been properly notarized. The notarization is what gives the apostille office an official signature to authenticate.
Our mobile notary service brings notarization to a location arranged with you in the Nashville area, with an eye on what the later apostille step will require.
Notarizations that fail at the apostille stage
A notarization may look complete but still be refused at apostille if the certificate wording is wrong, the commission details are missing, or the notary’s signature is not on file with the state.
Signers also run into trouble when they sign before meeting the notary, bring expired identification, or present incomplete documents.

If the document will be used abroad, mention the destination country. That can influence how the notarization should be completed.
Questions
Common questions about mobile notary services
Do all private documents need notarization before apostille?
Most private documents do, since the apostille authenticates a public official’s signature, such as a notary’s.
Can I sign before the notary arrives?
Generally no. Signing usually must happen in the notary’s presence.
