Are you buying a used car? Hiring a new employee? Creating a living will and trust? Whatever it is, you need a notarial certificate from a notary public in Alaska to validate legal documents like these. 

Without a notarial certificate, your documents won’t be considered valid, which can cause major setbacks when you’re trying to use them personally, professionally, or legally. 

Finding an Alaska notary can often be challenging. There might not always be a nearby notary available, forcing you to set an appointment weeks in advance, or travel long distances just to get your document notarized.

This makes getting the notarization services you need stressful and unnecessarily time-consuming. Luckily, there’s an easier way to find a notary: mobile notaries at Superior Notary Services. 

With just a few clicks online, you can find professional and reliable Alaska notaries who will come to you anywhere and anytime you need them. With Superior Notary Service, you can count on convenience and dependability all in one.

No matter your profession, chances are that you’ll eventually need a document notarized. Notarization prevents fraud and ensures that all parties agree with the paper’s contents.

The federal and state governments require a notary’s stamp on legal documents and any other forms that should be made official. Otherwise, they can be deemed invalid in court. 

An Alaska notary public can help you with anything you need notarized. Their job is to witness your signature, identify the signatories, and execute any necessary legal actions, like stamping documents or administering an oath. 

Notaries in Alaska are trained to understand fundamental Alaska law. They are also required to pass background checks before receiving their certificate.

However, it’s important to remember that notaries are not equipped to give legal advice. They are simply the officiants to identify, witness, and stamp legally binding documents. 

In Alaska, you’ll need a notary for two types of legal acts

  • Jurats: Jurats, also called a “verification upon oath or affirmation,” is when a signer agrees to swear the validity of the contents of a document to a public notary. The signer must appear in person and administer a spoken oath or affirmation for the jurat to be considered official. You will need a valid proof of ID to sign a jurat. 
  • Acknowledgments: An acknowledgment is when the signer declares that they willingly signed a document. Although acknowledgments don’t need to be signed in the notary’s presence, the signer must still appear before the notary to acknowledge that they agree to the document’s contents. You will need valid proof of ID to sign an acknowledgment. 

But finding a notary can feel like a shot in the dark. Although you can use many public avenues to set an appointment, public notaries are sometimes few and far between, especially in vast, low-population states like Alaska. 

So instead of waiting for an available appointment or traveling a town or two over to find one, you can have a notary public come to you.

An Alaska mobile notary from Superior Notary Services is a qualified and certified notary public who will travel to your preferred location any time, any day, to help you execute your legal documents. 

What You Need to Know about Alaska Notaries

Notaries in Alaska work under the lieutenant governor, who is authorized to commission notaries within the state under § 44.50.010

Notaries are given a certificate of commission by the lieutenant governor once they’ve met the qualifications, completed the Alaska Notary Commission application, executed a $2,500 four-year bond, and submitted a signed oath or affirmation. 

At Superior Notary Services, our Alaska mobile notaries are well-versed in Alaskan notary law. They can help execute any document while also providing on-time, quality, and efficient services for any situation.

Alaska Notary Facts

  • Though they are available and highly recommended, training and exams are not required. (You can see the type of education and experience a notary has by looking at their profile on Superior Notary Services.)
  • Notaries may only use an official notary seal within Alaska’s boundaries. The seal must contain the notary’s name and the state name.
  • The signer requires a personal statement that validates the document’s texts and indicates the signer’s agreements.
  • Oral oaths are required for affidavits, depositions, and other sworn statements.
  • Signatories will need to bring a photograph, signature, and documented physical description, like a valid driver’s license or state ID. 
  • Notaries do not have the authority to prepare legal documents – their only duty is to perform the notarial act by witnessing signatures and stamping the validation. 
  • A person who is a state, municipal, or federal employee commissioned as a limited government notary public may be commissioned as a notary public without limitation.
  • A notary can refuse to notarize your documents if you don’t have sufficient proof of ID, willingness, or capacity to understand what is happening. 

Alaska Mobile Notary Fees

Although most states do have a maximum fee set by the Secretary of State, Alaska is unique because no particular law says notaries must charge a specific amount for notarizing documents. Instead, the cost of the service is left up to the notary’s discretion. 

However, it’s good to remember that your Alaska mobile notary will likely charge you for their services. Typical notary fees range from $2 to $20 for in-person notarization and $5 to $25 for online notarization. You should always check how much an individual notary will charge before requesting their presence. 

Alaska Notary Public Duties

In Alaska, the responsibilities of a notary include (but are not limited to): 

  • Confirming the identities of the person(s) signing the document
  • Ensuring that the signer gave the signature freely and with consent
  • Verifying that the signer understands what they are signing 
  • Taking necessary acknowledgments and jurats
  • Administering oaths and affirmations
  • Placing the notary seal on the verified document(s)
  • Making certified copies and sending documents (optional per the notary’s services)

Although the process of working with a notary is a simple one, it is a serious and legally-binding act, which is why so many precautions and steps are taken before, during, and after signing. 

This is especially important since the documents you’re signing can have a significant impact on your life. 

For example, you might want to buy a car from another owner, sign a health proxy in a time-sensitive situation, or perhaps you need a notarized testimonial, deposition, or affidavit to present in court. 

Some of the most common documents that the government requires to be notarized are: 

  • Trusts
  • Deeds
  • Wills
  • Medical documents
  • Powers of attorney
  • Agreements over a long distance
  • Affidavits
  • Mortgage closing documents
  • Designations of beneficiaries
  • Affidavits of independent professional advice
  • Real estate documents
  • Structured settlements
  • Supporting documents for disability claims
  • Loan signings

Whatever it is you want notarized, you need to first set an appointment with your county clerk’s office or wherever a notary is available near you in Alaska. Unfortunately, this can take a lot of time, especially since in-office notaries are in short supply. 

That’s why an Alaska mobile notary public is often your best option. They are carefully vetted and can come to a location of your choosing.

Mobile Notary Services for Alaska with Superior Notary Service

All essential legal documents need to be official and valid, but finding a notary can be a challenge, especially in rural states like Alaska. Considered one of the last great wilderness preserves in the United States, Alaska has the lowest population density with just 1.3 people per square mile.

If you do need a notary, you can check with your local offices, such as: 

  • Banks
  • County clerk’s office
  • Attorney’s office 
  • Real estate offices
  • Post office
  • Package delivery stores
  • Online or via an app 

In most cases, you need to set an appointment to meet with a notary ahead of time. Notary offices like banks and package delivery stores don’t always have a notary on site. Instead, they will request their presence per appointment and have to work with the notary’s availability.

Plus, you can’t just go to any bank for notary services. You need to find out if the bank you belong to offers notarial services. 

Instead of making an appointment with a notary far in advance (or struggling to find one last-minute if it’s a time-sensitive situation), you can have a trusted, trained mobile notary come to you any time. 

With more than 50,000 notaries across the country, you can have one at your home, place of business, courtroom, or any public setting within hours. And before the notary’s arrival, you can depend on them being fully prepared.

Notaries will complete the necessary paperwork correctly, and they may also offer to scan and mail the documents to make your experience even more accessible. 

Whatever you need, Superior Notary Services is flexible, and we tailor our services to you.

An Alaska Mobile Notary that Comes to You, Anytime, Anywhere!

There may be a time when you require a notary at the last minute. Unfortunately, life doesn’t operate according to the standard government or store schedules, which is why mobile notaries public are so essential to those who need timely services.

With a mobile notary, you don’t have to worry about setting appointments or leaving your loved one’s bedside.

In-Office Notary Fees

One of the places that mobile notaries are requested frequently is business offices. Business offices are a hub of critical legal documents, ranging from contracts to stock trades to new hires and everything in between. 

Because of the complexity of in-office notarization, many states set a maximum fee that a notary can charge for these specific services. However, this rate may vary based on the state. 

In Alaska, there are no standard in-office notary fees, which means that these prices are up to the notary to decide. Keep in mind that the fee covers your notary’s service, travel time, and other efforts.

Mobile Notary Fees

Like in-office notary fees, there is no state-set rate that a notary can charge for mobile services. Alaska officials recommend that notaries set reasonable fees, and customers should consider travel fees as a part of their notary’s overall rate.
