One flat rate for all of Brooklyn
Brooklyn is New York's biggest borough by population, and most notary websites treat it like a mystery: no prices, no hours, call for a quote. We do the opposite. The visit is $165 flat anywhere in Brooklyn, and the only other charge is New York's statutory $2 per notarized signature. You see the full total online before you give a name or a card.
| Visit type | Total in Brooklyn |
|---|---|
| Standard, booked ahead | $165 + $2 per signature |
| Same day | $205 + $2 per signature |
| Emergency, under 3 hours | $260 + $2 per signature |
| Evening after 8pm or weekend | add $50 |
Every notary we dispatch is a commissioned, insured New York notary public in business attire, with a live arrival window sent by text. A traveling notary should feel like a professional visit, not a favor.
Checking free options first? Our guide to where to get something notarized in Brooklyn covers the library notary hours, the banks and the shipping stores, and when each one works.
Brooklyn, neighborhood by neighborhood
The price is the same everywhere in the borough. Four neighborhoods get their own sections below because the questions there are specific: courts and county offices in Downtown Brooklyn, coops and estate papers in Brooklyn Heights, family paperwork in Park Slope, and two notary options in Bay Ridge that most neighborhoods do not have.

Notary public in Downtown Brooklyn
Downtown Brooklyn is where the borough's paperwork goes. The state courts, the Kings County Clerk, Borough Hall and the federal courthouse are all within a short walk of each other, so the paperwork here tends to come with a deadline: a filing, a lease or an office signing. We meet you at your office, your apartment or a coffee shop near the courthouse, from 7am, so the signature is done before you join a line.
| Where | Address |
|---|---|
| Kings County Supreme Court, civil | 360 Adams Street |
| Kings County Clerk | 360 Adams Street, Room 189, weekdays 9am to 5pm |
| Supreme Court, criminal | 320 Jay Street |
| Family Court | 330 Jay Street |
| Civil Court, including Housing and Small Claims | 141 Livingston Street |
| Criminal Court | 120 Schermerhorn Street |
| Surrogate's Court | 2 Johnson Street |
| Federal court, Eastern District of New York | 225 Cadman Plaza East |
| Brooklyn Borough Hall | 209 Joralemon Street |

Free option nearby: Brooklyn Public Library's Adams Street branch, at 9 Adams Street in DUMBO, notarizes free by online reservation. The limits are strict: up to three documents a day, English only, and no wills, trusts, powers of attorney or real estate documents. Your own bank is the other free route if you have an account there. The Brooklyn Hospital Center, on DeKalb Avenue, is a short walk away, and we come bedside there too.
Notary in Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights became New York City's first historic district in 1965, and its notary work follows its housing: coop board packages, condo and brownstone closings, refinances, and estate papers for longtime owners. Those are exactly the documents the free options turn away. We come to apartments and brownstones anywhere from the Promenade to Court Street.
Estate papers are where a visit saves the most trouble. A New York power of attorney needs a notary and two witnesses, and the notary can count as one of them. We can bring the second witness for $75, or a neighbor who is not named in the document can serve.
Free option nearby: the closest library notary is the Adams Street branch in DUMBO, and it will not take wills, powers of attorney or real estate documents. Your bank may notarize simpler papers if you have an account there. For everything else, a visit is $165 flat, with evening slots until midnight for buyers and owners who work across the river.
Notary in Park Slope
Park Slope's notary needs follow its households: parents signing travel consent letters before school breaks, families closing on brownstones and condos, and adult children arranging powers of attorney and health care paperwork for their parents. We come to your apartment or brownstone anywhere between Prospect Park and Fourth Avenue.
NewYork Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, at 506 Sixth Street, is in the neighborhood. When a patient needs to sign, we come bedside: the signer must be awake, aware of the document and willing, and a $25 facility fee covers check in time. Our hospital notary page explains what to have ready.
Free and walk in options: none of the 15 branches on Brooklyn Public Library's notary reservation list is in Park Slope. Shipping stores on Fifth and Seventh Avenues advertise notary service, and New York caps the notary fee at $2 per signature. Call ahead, because a notary is not always on shift, and ask whether the store can supply witnesses.
Notary in Bay Ridge
Bay Ridge sits in the southwest corner of Brooklyn, between Sunset Park, Dyker Heights and the Verrazzano Bridge, and it has two notary options most neighborhoods do not:
- The Bay Ridge Library, on Ridge Boulevard at 73rd Street, is one of the 15 branches on Brooklyn Public Library's notary reservation list, free by online reservation: up to three documents a day, English only, and no wills, trusts, powers of attorney or real estate documents.
- Fort Hamilton's legal office notarizes walk ins on weekdays, afternoons only on Thursdays, for active duty service members, military retirees receiving retired pay and their dependents, each with a current DoD ID card. Closing documents need an appointment.
For anything outside those limits, a visit is the same $165 as everywhere else in Brooklyn; on an emergency booking, plan on 45 to 75 minutes door to door. The nearest general hospital is NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn, on 55th Street in Sunset Park, and we come bedside there. Veterans are treated at the Brooklyn VA Medical Center on Poly Place, and Maimonides runs an emergency department on Seventh Avenue in Bay Ridge.
Papers headed abroad? The destination decides the next step after the notary. Greece, Italy, Ireland, Norway, China and Saudi Arabia accept an apostille. Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates are not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, so the document needs a Certificate of Authentication from New York, sometimes a US Department of State authentication, and then that country's embassy or consulate. Both routes start with the same visit; see our apostille service.
Williamsburg, Greenpoint and north Brooklyn
Williamsburg, Greenpoint, East Williamsburg and Bushwick book us for condo closings, startup office paperwork and evening signings that no storefront can take. Wyckoff Heights Medical Center is inside this zone for bedside work. North Brooklyn runs late, and so do we: slots to midnight, seven days.
Fort Greene, Carroll Gardens and the rest of brownstone Brooklyn
Beyond the Heights and the Slope, brownstone Brooklyn runs through Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus, Red Hook, Windsor Terrace, Kensington, Greenwood Heights, DUMBO and Vinegar Hill. Estate documents, health care proxies and powers of attorney lead here, along with coop and condo closings, all at the same $165 flat rate.
Sunset Park, Bensonhurst and south Brooklyn
Sunset Park, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, Borough Park, Gravesend, Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Beach, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Marine Park, Bergen Beach and Mill Basin. South Brooklyn bookings are often family matters: powers of attorney for aging parents, pension and consulate paperwork, apostilles for documents headed overseas. Maimonides Medical Center, NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn and South Brooklyn Health, the former Coney Island Hospital, are all in this part of the borough.
Bed Stuy, Crown Heights and central Brooklyn
Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Midwood, Canarsie, Brownsville, Ocean Hill, East New York, Starrett City and Cypress Hills. Deed work, estate documents and court affidavits lead here, and the borough's biggest hospital cluster sits in this zone: Kings County Hospital, SUNY Downstate, Brookdale, Interfaith and Woodhull. If a parent or relative is admitted and paperwork cannot wait, we can usually be at the bedside the same day.
Hospitals and nursing homes in Brooklyn
Maimonides, NYU Langone Brooklyn, NewYork Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist, Kings County, SUNY Downstate, Brookdale, Woodhull, Wyckoff Heights, Interfaith, South Brooklyn Health and every rehab and nursing facility in the borough. The signer must be awake, aware and willing; we can bring an impartial witness, and the $25 facility fee covers check in time. If you're arranging documents for a parent, our guide to where to get something notarized explains what to have ready, and the hospital notary page covers capacity, ID and bedside directives in full.
Same day and emergency notary in Brooklyn
Booked for today, the visit is $205 all in. Under 3 hours, it is $260 and we dispatch immediately: typical arrival is 30 to 75 minutes in brownstone Brooklyn and north Brooklyn, 45 to 90 minutes in the south and east of the borough, traffic depending. Both totals appear on the booking form before you confirm, and your confirmation text carries a live arrival window.
Apostille service in Brooklyn
For documents headed abroad, we notarize at your Brooklyn location, then handle the county clerk authentication at 60 Centre St in Manhattan, where our notaries are commissioned, and the New York State apostille for $150 plus government fees, with rush options. One visit, and the finished apostille is couriered back to you. Full price table and timelines on the apostille page.
What Brooklyn customers book most
Coop and condo closings, refinance packages and full loan signings. Powers of attorney and health care proxies for aging parents, often in Bay Ridge, Borough Park and Midwood. Travel consent letters before school breaks. Bedside estate documents at the hospitals above. Affidavits sworn the morning of a court filing. If a New York notary public can sign it, we bring it to your door.
Documents we notarize in Brooklyn
Anything a New York notary public can sign, we bring to your door. The most common in Brooklyn: powers of attorney, statutory and durable. Health care proxies, which need two adult witnesses rather than a notary, and living wills. Deeds, deed transfers and property affidavits. Coop board packages and condo closing documents. Refinance and loan packages, signed as a certified signing agent. Affidavits and sworn statements for court, immigration and school. Travel consent letters for a minor. Parental and guardianship consents. Vehicle sale and DMV forms. Contracts, business resolutions and corporate documents. Copies certified through a document custodian affidavit. If yours is not on the list, it almost certainly still qualifies; put the document name in the booking notes and we confirm by text.
How to prepare for your visit
Four things make a Brooklyn signing take ten minutes instead of thirty. Have a current government photo ID for every signer, a driver's license, nondriver ID, passport or green card. Leave every signature line blank; you sign in front of the notary at the visit. Have all signers in the room at the appointment time, and if your document needs witnesses, tell us in the booking notes so we bring an impartial one. Finally, know how many notarized signatures you need; the receipt itemizes them at the statutory $2 each, on top of the flat visit fee you saw when booking.
Brooklyn mobile notary FAQs
How much does a mobile notary cost in Brooklyn?
$165 flat for the visit anywhere in Brooklyn, plus New York's statutory $2 per notarized signature. Same day is +$40, emergency under 3 hours is +$95, and evenings after 8pm or weekends are +$50. The booking form shows your exact total before you confirm.
Do you cover Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick?
Yes, all of north Brooklyn at the same $165 flat rate. Typical arrival is 30 to 60 minutes on an emergency booking, and evening slots up to midnight are normal here.
Can you come to Maimonides or NYU Langone Brooklyn?
Yes, we work bedside in Brooklyn hospitals every week. The signer must be awake, aware of the document and willing to sign. We can bring an impartial witness, and a $25 facility fee covers front desk and screening time.
Is there a notary in Brooklyn open on Sunday?
Yes, every Sunday from 7am to midnight, anywhere in the borough. Weekend visits add $50 to the flat rate. Our open now guide covers evenings, Sundays and holidays across the city.
How fast can you reach Bay Ridge or south Brooklyn?
On an emergency booking, usually 45 to 75 minutes door to door. Same day bookings get a confirmed arrival window by text, so you are never guessing.
Do you handle real estate closings and coop documents?
Yes. Deeds, coop board affidavits, refinance packages and full loan signings, with witnesses provided when the package needs them. Brooklyn closings are our most booked service.
Can I get an apostille for a Brooklyn document?
Yes. We notarize at your Brooklyn location, then handle the county clerk authentication at 60 Centre St in Manhattan, where our notaries are commissioned, and the New York State apostille for $150 plus government fees, with rush options.
What ID does the signer need?
A current government photo ID: driver's license, nondriver ID, passport or green card. No ID? Tell us in the notes; New York allows a credible witness in some cases.
Can you meet me near the Brooklyn courts?
Yes, outside Kings County Supreme Court on Adams St or Jay St, Surrogate's Court on Johnson St, or the federal courthouse at Cadman Plaza. Getting the affidavit notarized before you stand in line usually saves the most time.
Is there a free notary in Downtown Brooklyn or Brooklyn Heights?
The closest free option is Brooklyn Public Library's Adams Street branch, at 9 Adams Street in DUMBO, by online reservation: up to three documents a day, in English only, and no wills, trusts, powers of attorney or real estate documents. Your own bank may notarize free if you have an account there.
Is there a free notary in Bay Ridge?
Yes, with limits. The Bay Ridge branch of Brooklyn Public Library, on Ridge Boulevard at 73rd Street, notarizes free by online reservation, with no wills, trusts, powers of attorney or real estate documents. Active duty service members, military retirees receiving retired pay and their dependents can also use the legal office at Fort Hamilton on weekdays. For anything else, a visit is $165 flat.
Do I need a notary for a court affidavit in Brooklyn?
Often not. Since January 1, 2024, anyone in a civil case in a New York State court can sign an affirmation under penalty of perjury instead of a notarized affidavit, and a November 2025 amendment extended that to verifications and other sworn statements. The main exceptions are depositions, oaths of office and matrimonial agreements. Deeds, powers of attorney and most papers used outside a New York court case still need a notary.
