MORE ABOUT US

We live here, too.

ETX Notary Public isn’t just a service — it’s a local family business rooted in Nacogdoches. We live, work, shop, and raise our kids here, and we understand how important it is to have services you can trust close to home. When you contact us, you’re not reaching a call center or a rotating list of contractors, you’re working with neighbors who genuinely care about this community.


As a two-agent team, we support residents through both everyday document needs and life’s major turning points. Whether we’re providing free notarization at the library or meeting someone privately for a mobile signing, our commitment is the same: accuracy, confidentiality, and respect for the people we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find an answer to your question? We're happy to help. Give us a call!

ETX Notary Public proudly serves Nacogdoches County and surrounding East Texas communities. Mobile service is available beyond this area by request.


Our standard appointments are available Monday through Saturday, 9 AM–7 PM, with after-hours and weekend services available by request. 24/7 appointments (including jail and hospital visits) are offered for an additional fee.


Please bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID and complete, unsigned documents to your appointment. Be sure that all required signers are present and ready to sign.


All documents must be properly formatted with the correct notary certificate before your appointment. By law, a notary cannot complete or alter a certificate on behalf of the signer. If you have questions about your document’s format, please inquire before your appointment—payment is due at the time of service, whether or not the notarization can be completed.


Punctuality is key to a smooth notary experience—appointments begin and end at the scheduled time. If a client is more than 15 minutes late without prior communication, the appointment is considered a no-show, the session is forfeit, and pre-payment will be required for future bookings to reschedule the service and cover the lost time.


The State of Texas requires notaries to verify identity using a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID that includes both a photograph and a signature. The following forms of ID are accepted:

  • State-issued Driver’s License or Identification Card (from any U.S. state)
  • United States Passport or Passport Card
  • United States Military ID
  • Tribal ID Card
  • Permanent Resident (“Green Card”) issued by USCIS
     

All IDs must be current (not expired) and must clearly identify the signer.


We handle a wide range of personal, financial, and real estate documents, including:

  • Power of Attorney and estate planning forms
  • School, employment, and medical authorizations
  • Divorce and family law documents
  • Property deeds, loan documents, and affidavits

    If you’re unsure whether your document qualifies, just reach out — we’ll let you know exactly what’s needed and help you get it signed and sealed.


Yes. Every document and piece of identifying information you share is handled with complete confidentiality and in accordance with Texas notary laws. 


For electronic or scanned documents, we use data encryption and password protection when transmitting files to ensure your privacy and security. The minimum required identifying information is recorded in our official Notary Journals, which is a public record by law but is rarely viewed by anyone other than the Notary and is always stored securely.


Payment is accepted by cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App. Credit cards are accepted with a 3% fee. Pre-payment may be required for some services, such as document printing.
