What to expect when you book
We coordinate with you by phone or text to confirm the patient’s legal name, room number, and the documents that need notarization. When we arrive, we check in at the main entrance or security desk, follow hospital visitor procedures, and then meet you in the patient room or a designated family area.
General visiting hours at Olive View are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. All visitors arriving after 6:00 PM and on weekends are required to sign in using the hospital’s After Hours Visitors Log. Some units, such as the ICU or psychiatry, may have more restricted visiting windows. We schedule our notary visit to fall within visiting hours and will confirm unit-specific policies with you when you book.
As a county hospital, Olive View may have security screening at the entrance and specific visitor ID requirements. We are familiar with county hospital protocols and build extra time into the visit for any screening and access steps. Let us know the unit and room number so we can navigate the campus efficiently.
Olive View has surface parking lots on campus. Because we are so close, travel time is minimal and we can sometimes arrive within 30–60 minutes for urgent calls during business hours.

Mobile notary FAQ for Olive View–UCLA Medical Center
Is Olive View the same as Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center?
No. Olive View–UCLA Medical Center is a Los Angeles County-operated safety-net hospital in Sylmar that is affiliated with UCLA for teaching purposes, but it is a completely separate facility from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Westwood. Olive View is a public county hospital run by LA County DHS with 27 residency specialty programs, while UCLA Westwood is part of the UCLA Health system. If your family member is at the Westwood campus, see our UCLA Westwood page for Tier 2 pricing and details.
How fast can you get to Olive View from your office?
Olive View is our closest hospital. We can typically arrive in 10–20 minutes from our Granada Hills office, making this the fastest facility for us to reach. For urgent calls during business hours, we can sometimes be at the bedside within 30–60 minutes of your initial contact, depending on our current schedule.
What are visiting hours at Olive View–UCLA Medical Center?
General hospital visiting hours are 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. All visitors arriving after 6:00 PM and on weekends are required to sign in using the Olive View–UCLA Medical Center “After Hours Visitors Log.” Some units such as the ICU or psychiatry may have more restricted visiting windows. We schedule our notary visit within visiting hours and will confirm current policies with you when you book.
Does Olive View have different visitor rules than private hospitals?
As a county-operated facility, Olive View may have security screening at the entrance and specific visitor ID requirements. All visitors arriving after 6:00 PM or on weekends must sign in using the hospital’s After Hours Visitors Log. We are familiar with county hospital procedures and carry our own government-issued ID and notary credentials. We build extra time into our visit for any security or check-in steps. If the hospital has restricted visiting hours for certain units, let us know so we can time our arrival appropriately.
Can you notarize for a patient who only speaks Spanish or another language?
Olive View serves a very diverse community with many Spanish-speaking and multilingual patients. The signer must be able to communicate with the notary to confirm their identity and understanding of the document. I can communicate in basic Spanish to help facilitate the process. A bilingual family member or interpreter can also assist. We cannot notarize if there is no way to verify the signer understands what they are signing.
What if the patient was brought in by ambulance and the family does not have their ID?
Emergency admissions often mean the patient’s wallet or ID is at home. We recommend having a family member retrieve the ID and bring it to the hospital before the appointment. If that is not possible, California law allows for identification through credible witnesses under certain conditions. Contact us to discuss the situation and we will walk you through the options before scheduling.
Do you serve other facilities in Sylmar, Pacoima, and San Fernando?
Yes. In addition to Olive View, we serve patients and families at skilled nursing facilities, rehab centers, assisted living communities, and private homes throughout Sylmar, Pacoima, San Fernando, Arleta, and the surrounding northeast Valley. These are all within our closest service area and receive Tier 1 pricing.
