Notary service in Santa Monica

Santa Monica is its own city, with its own city hall, courthouse and real property transfer tax, surrounded on three sides by Los Angeles. Its neighborhoods (North of Montana, Wilshire Montana, Mid-City, Pico, Sunset Park, Ocean Park and Downtown) range from single-family streets to dense apartments and beachfront hotels.

We also perform marriage ceremonies at our location in Santa Monica.

What Santa Monica clients usually need

Santa Monica requests split between residents (estate plans, refinances, home sales) and visitors: hotel guests who need a power of attorney or affidavit signed before they leave town, and international travelers with documents headed abroad.

• Hospital and care facility notarizations at UCLA Santa Monica and Saint John’s
• Deeds and loan signings
• Powers of attorney for hotel guests and visitors
• Apostilles and documents for use abroad

Selling or transferring property in Santa Monica

Santa Monica charges its own real property transfer tax on top of Los Angeles County’s, and higher rates on high-value sales. That doesn’t change the notarization (every grantor still signs before a notary and leaves a thumbprint), but it’s worth asking your escrow officer or attorney about before you sign. More in our deeds guide.

How a mobile appointment in Santa Monica works

1. Book online or call (424) 484-9268. Tell us the address (we cover every Santa Monica ZIP code: 90401, 90402, 90403, 90404, 90405), the documents, and how many people are signing. We confirm a price before you commit.
2. Get ready. Every signer needs acceptable ID (current or issued within five years). Print the documents and fill in every blank. If a document needs a jurat, wait to sign it until we arrive.
3. We come to you. From our base in Mar Vista, Santa Monica is typically about 10 to 20 minutes away, depending on traffic. We’re available 24/7 by appointment, including evenings, weekends and holidays.
4. Sign and done. We check ID, complete the journal (with a thumbprint for deeds and powers of attorney) and the notarial certificates, and you’re finished, usually in 10 to 20 minutes for a few documents.
