5 Things to Know Before Hiring a Notary in Texas (And How to Avoid Costly Mistakes)

ProDocs Notary & Legal Partners, LLC.

Hiring a notary shouldn’t be stressful — but choosing the wrong notary can lead to delayed closings, invalid documents, or wasted time. Whether you need a mobile notary, a loan signing agent, or secure online notarization, understanding what to look for can save you time, money, and frustration.

Below are the five most important things to know before hiring a notary in Texas — and how ProDocs Notary & Legal ensures every signing is done right the first time.

1. Verify the Notary’s Credentials & Insurance

Not all notaries work with the same level of professionalism. Before booking, confirm your notary is:

  • Commissioned in Texas

  • Background-checked

  • Experienced with your type of documents

  • Protected by Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance

ProDocs Notary & Legal carries a $1,000,000 E&O policy, giving clients confidence that their documents are always professionally handled.

2. Choose a Notary Who Meets You Where You Are

A modern notary should offer flexible options, including:

  • Mobile Notary Service (we come to you)

  • Remote Online Notarization (RON)

  • Evening, weekend, or same-day availability

ProDocs Notary & Legal offers statewide mobile and online notarization, making the process faster and more convenient.

3. Make Sure They Understand Your Type of Document

Every document is different. Choose a notary experienced in:

  • Real estate and loan packages

  • Powers of attorney

  • Wills and estate documents

  • Affidavits and sworn statements

  • Business and corporate paperwork

  • Vehicle titles

  • Family and school documents

Our notaries handle these documents daily and ensure every signing meets Texas requirements.

4. Watch Out for Hidden Fees or Unclear Pricing

Transparency matters. Some notaries charge unexpected fees or increase prices without warning.

At ProDocs Notary & Legal, pricing is always clear and upfront — no surprises and no hidden charges.

5. Ask About Their Turnaround Time

Your notary should offer:

  • Fast communication

  • Same-day appointments (when available)

  • Quick scanbacks or document returns

  • Reliable arrival times

We focus on fast response times and smooth, professional appointments from beginning to end.
