Who we are
A notary team that travels to you
Short answer
Ellaphun Mobile Notary is a team of four commissioned, LSS-certified mobile notaries serving the Northern Bay Area and Northern California. We travel to homes, offices, hospitals, senior living communities, schools and public meeting places, including evenings, weekends and urgent requests. Call (310) 804-0844 or send a request, and we confirm the notary, the appointment time and the full cost before we travel.
Most signings go wrong for small reasons: an expired ID, a missing initial, a signature placed on the wrong line, a witness who was never arranged. Those are the things we catch. Every document is reviewed before the appointment and checked again afterwards, so the package you send on to escrow, the county recorder or the Secretary of State is right the first time.

Common questions
Mobile notary questions, answered
What is a mobile notary?
A mobile notary is a commissioned notary public who travels to you instead of asking you to come to an office. Ellaphun Mobile Notary meets clients at homes, offices, hospitals, senior living communities, schools and public meeting places throughout the Northern Bay Area, including evenings, weekends and urgent requests.
What areas does Ellaphun Mobile Notary serve?
Ellaphun serves the entire Northern Bay Area and well beyond it. Our team covers San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and Solano counties; the coastal and North Bay counties of Napa, Sonoma, Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity; and the Far North and Shasta Cascade counties of Shasta, Siskiyou, Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Butte, Tehama, Glenn, Yuba and Sutter. Travel beyond the region is available on request.
What do I need to have ready for a notarization?
Three things. First, a valid photo ID for every signer that is current or was issued within the past five years. Second, the complete document, with the signature lines still blank. Third, every signer present at the appointment, because California requires each signer to personally appear before the notary.
Can a notary tell me which document I need, or explain what I am signing?
No. A notary public is not an attorney and cannot give legal advice, prepare legal documents, or advise you on which form to use. A notary verifies the identity of the signers, confirms they are signing willingly, and completes the notarial certificate. For advice about the document itself, speak with an attorney.
Do you notarize at hospitals and senior living communities?
Yes. Hospital, care facility and senior living signings are a core part of our work, including advance healthcare directives, medical consents and estate planning documents. We are used to coordinating with nursing staff, social workers and family members, and we handle these appointments with patience and discretion.
How much does a notary cost in California?
California sets the maximum fee for the notarial act itself: $15 per signature for an acknowledgement and $15 for a jurat. A mobile notary’s travel fee is separate from that statutory fee and is quoted before the appointment, so you always know the full cost in advance. Call (310) 804-0844 for a quote.
