Downey sits right next door to Norwalk, so it’s one of the places we travel to most. Instead of taking time off work to find an open notary, you tell us where you are and we meet you there — at home, at your office, at a coffee shop off Firestone Boulevard or at a loved one’s bedside.
We serve all of Downey, including ZIP codes 90240, 90241 and 90242, and because we’re only a few minutes away, same-day and evening appointments are often available. Whether you need one signature on an affidavit or a full set of estate-planning documents for the whole family, we bring the stamp, the journal and the certificates.
HOSPITAL & CARE FACILITY VISITS
A lot of our Downey calls come from families with someone in the hospital or a rehabilitation center. Downey is home to Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center, PIH Health Downey Hospital and Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, along with skilled nursing and assisted living facilities around the city.
When someone can’t leave their room, the documents that matter most — a power of attorney, an advance health care directive, a grant deed or a trust document — can’t wait. We’ll coordinate with the family and the facility, check visiting rules ahead of time, and make sure the signer is alert and able to understand what they’re signing, which California law requires.
One thing to know: if an advance health care directive is being signed in a skilled nursing facility, California requires a patient advocate or ombudsman to act as a witness or sign a declaration. We’ll help you plan for that so the visit only has to happen once.
REAL ESTATE & ESTATE DOCUMENTS
Many Downey homes have been in the same family for decades, which means we notarize a lot of grant deeds, quitclaim deeds and trust transfer deeds — often when a home is being moved into a living trust or a family member is being added to title.
For deeds and other documents affecting real property, and for powers of attorney, California requires the notary to take the signer’s thumbprint in the notary journal. We do that at every one of these appointments. Once your deed is notarized, it’s recorded with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, whose main office is right next door in Norwalk.
Documents Downey clients ask us to notarize most often:
BUSINESS & EVERYDAY DOCUMENTS
Not every appointment is a big life event. Downey residents and businesses also call us for everyday paperwork that just needs a notary’s seal — employment and school forms, vehicle and DMV documents, medical records releases, contracts and travel consent letters for minors traveling with one parent.
We also come to offices and job sites, so small businesses along Firestone Boulevard, Lakewood Boulevard and Paramount Boulevard can get several documents done in one visit without anyone leaving the office.
BEFORE WE ARRIVE
A typical appointment takes 15 to 30 minutes. Loan signings take longer — usually about an hour — because there are more pages and more signatures.
PRICING
California sets the maximum notary fee at $15 per signature notarized. Because we come to you, there’s also a travel fee that depends on distance, time of day and any wait time at a facility.
For Downey we give you the full total on the phone before we head out, so the price you hear is the price you pay. If there are several signers or several documents, tell us when you call and we’ll include everything in one quote.
