Remote online notarization (RON)

Can't meet in person? I notarize documents by secure video for signers anywhere in the United States, authorized by the State of Maine for remote notarization. Sessions run on a secure, state-approved remote notarization platform - identity verification and signing happen entirely online, no travel required. How online notarization works - or call, text, or email to set up a session.

Rates

Straightforward pricing - disclosed and agreed before any notarization.

Appointment pricing - every appointment includes travel and up to 2 notarial acts

Distance from Brownfield	Appointment fee
Within 10 miles	$60
Beyond 10 miles	$75 + $1.50 per mile round trip beyond 10 miles (driving distance from Brownfield to your address, billed both ways)

Add-on

Item	Fee
Each notarial act beyond the first 2	$10

Distances are driving miles from Brownfield to your address. I'll confirm your exact fee when you book - no surprises at the door.

A notarial act is each signature/seal I complete - most single documents need just one or two.

• Example: a power of attorney signing 8 driving miles from Brownfield (2 notarizations) = $60 flat. A third document adds $10.
• Example: a signing 25 driving miles out = $75 + (15 extra miles x 2 for the round trip x $1.50) = $120.

Surcharges

Item	Fee
Evening (after 6 p.m.) or weekend	+$25
Same-day, holiday, or after 9 p.m.	+$50
Hospital, hospice, or care-facility visits	No extra charge - ever

Only the highest applicable surcharge applies - they never stack.

Cancel with 2 or more hours' notice - no charge. Cancel with less than 2 hours' notice, before I am on the road - $25. If you cancel after I am on the road, or I arrive and the signing cannot be completed for reasons outside my control - a signer without valid ID, or who is unable or unwilling to sign - the appointment fee applies plus $1.50 per mile driven, round trip. Add-on acts are not charged.

No extra charge for hospital, hospice, or care-facility visits - ever.

All fees are disclosed in writing and agreed upon before any notarial act is performed.

What to Bring

Five minutes of prep prevents a failed appointment:

• A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID for every signer (driver's license, state ID, or passport)
• The complete, unsigned document - do not sign before the appointment
• All signers and any required witnesses present
• Awareness and willingness: every signer must understand the document and sign willingly
