Bedside notarization for the documents that can't wait
A hospital stay is often the moment a family finally puts its critical paperwork in order. We handle these signings regularly and understand both the urgency and the sensitivity involved.
- Advance healthcare directives — so the care team knows exactly who speaks for the patient.
- Medical power of attorney — authorize a trusted person to make treatment decisions.
- Living wills — put end-of-life wishes in writing, clearly and legally.
- Trusts and wills — we notarize trust and estate documents right at the bedside.
- Other time-sensitive documents — deeds, affidavits, financial POA, and more.
We also make jail notary visits and home appointments throughout the county — one call covers whatever your family needs notarized, wherever they are.
Before we arrive, have ready:
- The complete, unsigned document.
Signing happens in front of the notary, not before. - The patient's photo ID.
A valid government-issued ID such as a driver's license or passport. - An alert, aware signer.
The patient must be able to understand what they're signing. - Witnesses, if required.
Mention it when you call and we can help arrange them.

The patient must be alert — here's why it matters
For a notarization to proceed, the patient must be coherent and able to understand what they are signing. We cannot notarize for sedated, unconscious, or mentally incapacitated individuals — California law makes no exceptions.
If your loved one is on medication that affects alertness, plan the visit for the time of day when they're most awake and aware. Tell us the situation when you call and we'll help you time the appointment so everything is completed in a single visit.
This is also why families shouldn't wait. If a diagnosis makes future capacity uncertain, having directives, medical POA, and living wills notarized early spares everyone a much harder situation later.

Hospital notary questions, answered

We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can often arrive within 1–2 hours anywhere in San Bernardino County. Call or text (909) 751-8439 with the facility name, room number, and document type, and we'll give you an arrival window right away.
What if the patient is sedated or can't understand the document?
California notaries can only proceed when the signer is coherent and able to understand what they are signing. We cannot notarize for sedated, unconscious, or mentally incapacitated individuals. If medication affects your loved one's alertness, schedule the visit for a time of day when they are awake and aware.
What ID does the patient need?
A valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport. If you're not sure the ID on hand will work, mention it when you call and we'll sort it out before anyone makes a trip.
What documents can you notarize at the bedside?
Advance healthcare directives, medical powers of attorney, living wills, trust and will documents, and other time-sensitive paperwork. As notaries we can't prepare documents or give legal advice, but we can notarize almost anything your attorney or family has drawn up.
