Any required witnesses
Healthcare directives typically require two witnesses who are not named in the document and are not employees of the treating facility. Confirm witness requirements for your specific document before we arrive.
Mobile Notary FAQ for Valley Presbyterian
Frequently asked questions.
How quickly can you get to Valley Presbyterian from Granada Hills?
Valley Presbyterian is one of our closer hospitals. Travel time is typically 15 to 30 minutes via the 405 or Van Nuys Boulevard. During business hours, we can often arrive within 1 to 2 hours for urgent requests.

Can you notarize for a patient who primarily speaks Spanish?
Valley Presbyterian serves a large Spanish-speaking community. Under California law, the notary must communicate directly with the signer in a shared language — a family member or interpreter cannot translate the notary’s questions to the signer. We work in English. If the signer does not speak English well enough for us to confirm identity, willingness, and awareness directly, we recommend booking a Spanish-language notary instead of using an interpreter.
What if the patient needs to sign but is connected to IVs or monitors?
Medical equipment does not prevent a notarization as long as the patient can hold a pen or make a mark and is mentally alert enough to understand the documents. We work around IV lines, monitors, and other medical equipment routinely.
Can I schedule a notary visit for the day of discharge?
Discharge-day notarizations are common but require careful timing. We recommend scheduling the signing as early in the day as possible to allow for delays in the discharge process.
Does Valley Presbyterian have a busy emergency department?
Yes, Valley Presbyterian's Emergency Department treats more than 60,000 patients per year, making it one of the busiest in the central San Fernando Valley. If the patient is being treated in the ER, we recommend waiting until they are admitted to an inpatient room before scheduling.
Do you also serve Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood, and Panorama City?
Yes. Valley Presbyterian draws patients from across the central San Fernando Valley. We serve patients and families at hospitals, homes, senior communities, and medical offices throughout the area.
