FOREIGN LANGUAGE: Can I get my signature notarized for a document that is written in a language other than English?Yes! My job is to verify signatures and identities, and sometimes administer an oath while doing so. Notarizations, by definition, require a notarial certificate. If a certificate is not present or is not in English or otherwise compliant, I can provide one that is. I also have Certificate Stamps to use in situations requiring it.

REMOTE APPOINTMENTS: Remote Online NotarizationRemote Online Notarization As of August 1, 2020, Oregon legalized Remote Online Notarizations (RON). These are done over The Internet using the SignIX platform. These require some notice and scheduling. There is preparation time that goes into these appointments. NOTE: Oregon State Law excludes Last Wills from Remote Notarization, largely because of the witness requirements. Rates are as follows: $ 25.00 - Per Each Notarized Signature $ 250.00 - Minimum cost for signing a loan Package. The Final result will be a return PDF with all the proper signatures, notarizations, and embedded certificates. It must be further noted that many organizations and jurisdictions do not accept documents notarized remotely. They are not included in our No-Fault warranty.

COVID: What are your COVID-19 ProtocolsAs we all try and navigate the new normal that the Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) has required us to create, I want to emphasize that we all are in this together. I wish to serve your Notary needs as I always have. In so doing, I plan to follow the guidelines we have been offered from the WHO and CDC in terms of cleanliness and sanitization, wearing a mask, social distancing, and smart business functions. I keep a small table so we can do notarizations outdoors, I have clean wipes and hand sanitizer, I am always masked, have sanitized pens, and try and maintain as much social distance as possible. If the setting seems uncomfortable for you, I have no issues if you wish to cancel or postpone the appointment with no financial repercussions. In the end, I am here for you. Also, If I am not feeling well or feel uncomfortable, I will tell you and try and arrange either another time or for another notary to take the appointment. This way, we can both be assured your business can be tended to with both speed and safety. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this tough year. We will get through it, and we will do it together. Daniel Brewer - 2020

-
ONLINE BOOKING: Can I book you online?Absolutely! My calendar is available via Calendly and a link is provided on the home page of this website.

AFFILIATIONS: Are you a member of the National Notary Association?Yes, proudly.
-
WITNESSES: Do You Provide Witnesses? Do you Charge for Notarizing Witnesses?Typically, we ask that you provide witnesses for those documents that require them. If you would like me to provide witnesses, I have a list of Notaries from the area that I often call upon to come to appointments with me to act as a witness. The fee for that is $50 for each witness which I pass along to the witness. Yes. In situations where Witnesses are required and need to be Sworn in and/or Notarized, I charge the cost of a signature, which is $10 each per Appointment (not per Document). If the witnesses are needed for multiple documents there is no further charge.
-
TRAVEL DISTANCE: How far are you able to Travel?Typically, I cover the Greater Portland Area and Clark County. I live in the Bethany-Tanasbourne area of Beaverton and like to stay on the west side if I can. I charge a Travel and Convenience fee based on travel distance and time. Anything is possible, but I like to keep travel down to a maximum of an hour each way.
-
GOING TO FACILITIES: Do you travel to facilities such as Hospitals, Jails, and Rehab Centers?Yes. The rates are slightly more than standard travel rates. Please call to determine the details and exact charges for these types of signings. The rules are touchy since COVID.
-
OFFICE APPOINTMENTS: Can I come by your office and sign, so I do not have to pay a Travel Fee?Ultimately, Yes. I do not have a physical office. I work from my home near the Sunset Highway in the Bethany District. I will often do signings on the stoop in front of my house or set up a table in my garage if I need to. I will also meet you at either Postal Works in Bethany, or at Starbucks on West Union for a reduced Travel Fee. However, it is important to note two things: We will want those appointments to be scheduled and I expect everyone will be on time. Unlike others in this business, I do not require a deposit for appointments, so please be respectful of my time and I will be both respectful and efficient with yours. This is my business and Mobile Appointments are how I can keep it running. My preference is to come to you for your convenience. I realize the travel fees can seem to make this sound like a lot of money "just to sign and stamp things." I assure you that Notaries do much more than that. Additionally, I will go a little further than many of my colleagues because of the large extent of my training which others may not possess. We are officers of the court, trained to make sure that our notarizations are impartial, legal, and within the Laws of the States of Oregon and Washington. If the Travel fees get in the way, I will do what I can to offer you an affordable alternative.
-
WARRANTY: Do you offer any form of Warranty?Yes. I offer a No-Fault Warranty for 90 days, If the document needs to be re-done for any reason, the cost of the document's re-signature will be nothing. Travel fee will still apply unless it was Notary error. I also offer a one year re-sign warranty on any documents that need to be resigned because of Notary Error. Travel Fees for those situations are typically waived.
-
RATES: How much do you charge for your services?Rates: My charges are based on a combination of Notary and Travel Fees. The States of Oregon and Washington have mandated that Notary Fees will not exceed $ 10 per signature. Travel Fees are based on the State per-mile adjustment (0.655 per mile) and distance from the Beaverton area. Single Document Fees: $ 10 - per notarized signature/document $ 10 - Witnesses - Per witness, Appointment Travel: $ 40 - Includes Most of Beaverton and North Hillsboro $ 50 - Includes South Beaverton, South Hillsboro, Tigard and Southwest Portland (Except for Downtown ), Cornelius, Forest Grove, Banks $ 60 - Downtown (Parking additional) - St. Johns, Milwaukie, SE Portland (East to 82nd.), Lake Oswego, Oregon City $ 70 - East Side Portland, Gresham/Fairview, Happy Valley $ 75 - Vancouver, Washington State $ 95 - Salem Hospital and Facility Signings - Travel and Convenience $ 60 - St. Vincent - OSHU Hillsboro - Kaiser WestSide $ 70 - Emmanuel - Meridian Park - Good Samaritan $ 75 - Providence Portland - OHSU Medical Center - Vibra Hospital - Portland Adventist - Mt.

ABOUT PAYMENT: What forms of payment do you accept?I accept the following forms of payment, and will a paper receipt upon conclusion. Cash Credit or Debit Card Venmo PayPal Check Apple Pay Google Pay
-
DOCUMENTS: Where can I obtain documents such as unprepared Last Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Directives?As a neutral party and officer of the court, I cannot provide these documents. However, there are a handful of sites that my clients have had good luck with. Eforms, LegalZoom, or the Secretary of State's website are a handful that comes highly recommended.
-
VALID ID: Can you Notarize documents without a Valid ID? Which IDs are acceptable?Typically, No. A valid US Issued Driver's License or Passport is allowed. For most documents in Oregon, we can accept an expired ID as long as it is no more than three years expired. (Washington has no such provision. All IDs have to be valid and current.) Which other ID's are accepted? [As a general rule, an acceptable ID contains the following: Signer's Full Name, Photo, Signature, Expiration Date, and a Serial Number of some sort. ] NOTE: If you do not have a valid ID, please contact me. There are other ways to verify the identity of a signer within the guidelines set by the States of Oregon and Washington if no valid ID can be found.
-
APOSTILLE: My documents are going abroad and require an Apostille. Can you help with that?Yes. An Apostille (Pronounced App-Post-EE) is a second endorsement, usually completed in Salem or Olympia, that certifies both the notarization AND the Notary. They are typically required for documents that will ultimately be delivered to a non-USA government agency. They are only done by the Secretary of State's office. I can facilitate these using a courier service or UPS. Sometimes I will drive to Salem to complete them. (I do not drive to Olympia. It is simply too far.) Please call for prices and details. Also, if you wish to do this yourself, I am happy to discuss the process. It is not difficult but can be time-consuming.
