How Much Does a Mobile Notary Cost in Evansville?
· Pricing
The Short Answer
In Indiana, the notary fee itself is capped by law at $10 per notarial act — that means $10 for each signature that gets notarized, no matter who you hire. A mobile notary in Evansville charges that same $10, plus a separate travel fee for coming to your home, office, hospital, or care facility. There is no secret markup on the notarization itself; the difference between a bank notary and a mobile notary is the convenience of having someone come to you.
So a realistic way to think about it is: $10 per stamp, plus a travel fee that depends on where you are and when you need us. We quote that travel fee up front, before we ever get in the car, so there are no surprises.
What Drives the Travel Fee
Indiana lets a mobile notary charge a travel or convenience fee that is separate from the $10 notarial act. A few things affect it: how far we're driving (a signing on Evansville's East Side is different from a run out to Princeton or Mount Vernon), the time of day (a Tuesday afternoon is different from a 2 a.m. hospital call), and how urgent the request is. Weekends, holidays, and after-hours emergencies carry a higher convenience fee because of the timing.
The number of signatures also matters. A single power of attorney with one notarized signature is quick; a full loan-signing package with dozens of pages and several notarized signatures takes longer and is priced accordingly. When you call, tell us the city, the type of document, and how many signers there are, and we can give you a clear quote on the spot.
A Few Example Situations
Say a family needs a parent's power of attorney notarized at a hospital downtown this evening. That's one or two notarized signatures ($10 each) plus an after-hours travel fee to the hospital. Or a title company needs a refinance package signed in Newburgh on a Saturday — that's a document-package fee that reflects the printing, the number of notarized signatures, and the weekend timing.
Every one of these is quoted before we schedule. We would rather spend two minutes on the phone getting you an honest total than surprise you at the door.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
The fastest way to a real number is to call or text 812-205-3322 with four details: the city or facility, the type of document, how many people are signing, and when you need it. With those four things we can quote you in one short conversation.
If you only need a single signature notarized and you're able to travel, a bank or shipping store may be cheaper because there's no travel fee — we'll tell you that honestly. Mobile service is worth it when travel is hard, the timing is tight, or the signer can't leave a hospital or care facility.
What You Still Need to Bring
Cost aside, a mobile appointment only works if everyone is ready. Each signer needs a valid, current government-issued photo ID, and the document should be complete but not signed yet — most notarizations require you to sign in front of the notary. If your document calls for witnesses, arrange them ahead of time.

Loan Signings and Document Packages
Real estate and loan signings are their own category. A refinance, purchase, or reverse-mortgage package can run dozens or even a couple hundred pages, with several signatures that need notarizing and often printing and scan-backs for the title company. Those are quoted as a package rather than by the single stamp, because the time, printing, and handling are what drive the cost, not just the notary seals inside.
If you're a title company, escrow officer, or signing service, tell us the package type and whether you need printing and scan-backs, and we'll quote it clearly. Our loan signing agent page explains what we handle.
The Bottom Line
In Evansville, expect $10 per notarized signature plus a travel fee that we quote up front. Remote online notarization, when it's an option, is capped at $25 per act. The honest total depends on distance, timing, and how many signatures you need — and you'll always know it before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the $10 notary fee per document or per signature?
It's per notarial act, which usually means per signature notarized. A document that needs two signatures notarized is two acts ($20), plus any agreed travel fee. We'll confirm the count when you call.
Why does a mobile notary cost more than a bank?
The notarization itself is the same $10. The difference is the travel fee for coming to you, which many people gladly pay when a signer can't travel, the timing is urgent, or a bank can't fit them in.
Can you give me an exact price over the phone?
Usually yes. Tell us the city, the document type, the number of signers, and when you need it, and we'll quote a clear total before we schedule. Call or text {phone}.
