Santa Monica, Venice & Marina del Rey Mobile Notary & Apostille
Mobile notary and apostille support for homes, apartments, tech offices, hospitals, and hotels along the Westside beaches, plus coordinated jail signings when a signer is in custody and documents must move quickly.
Mobile notary help for Santa Monica, Venice & Marina del Rey
The beach cities mix year‑round residents, tech and creative teams, medical centers, and short‑term visitors, so it is not always practical to drive inland for a single notarization.
We meet clients in Santa Monica apartments and homes north and south of Wilshire, offices and coworking spaces in Silicon Beach, Venice homes and live‑work spaces, and Marina del Rey condos and hotels so you can sign documents where you already are instead of losing half a day to traffic and parking.
If you are coordinating documents for court, international use, or a signer in custody, we can also plan any California apostille or jail notarization steps at the same time.
This page covers Santa Monica, Venice, and Marina del Rey. For other locations, see our pages for Culver City, Playa Vista, Beverly Hills, and Westchester. For all service areas, visit our mobile notary services page.

How mobile notary service works on the Westside beaches
1. Share your documents and location.
You can text or email photos or PDFs of your documents along with your address in Santa Monica, Venice, or Marina del Rey and any timing limitations related to work, school, or travel.
2. We confirm requirements and quote fees.
We review ID and witnessing requirements, check whether your paperwork may later need an apostille or jail visit, and send a clear quote that includes travel and any after‑hours or rush options.
3. We come to you and complete the notarization.
A commissioned mobile notary meets you at home, an office, a hospital or rehab facility, a hotel, or another agreed‑upon location, verifies identity under California law, and completes the notarization.
When your documents will be used in another country, we can also coordinate apostille processing and delivery so everything reaches the right place on schedule. For urgent cases, see our same-day apostille service.

Jail‑related notarizations for Westside families
1. We review your documents and facility details.
You can send photos of your powers of attorney, jail marriage forms, or court documents along with your location and the facility name. We confirm what is needed, who must be present, and any rules that apply.
2. We schedule a visit from the Santa Monica/Venice area.
We coordinate travel to Pitchess Detention Center or Downtown Los Angeles jails, explain expected timing, and quote travel and service fees before you decide to move forward.

At the facility we verify ID, witness signatures, and notarize your documents. If the paperwork will be used in another country, we can also arrange a California apostille and coordinate secure delivery once everything is complete.
