One flat rate for all of Manhattan
Manhattan has more notaries than any borough and the least honest pricing: intro rates of $95 to $99 that grow at the door, services that quietly stop at 96th St, and hours that end when the workday does. We run the opposite play. The visit is $125 flat anywhere in Manhattan, Inwood to the Battery, and the only other charge is New York's statutory $2 per notarized signature. The full total shows online before you give a name or a card.
| Visit type | Total in Manhattan |
|---|---|
| Standard, booked ahead | $125 + $2 per signature |
| Same day | $165 + $2 per signature |
| Emergency, under 3 hours | $220 + $2 per signature |
| Evening after 8pm or weekend | add $50 |
Every visit is a commissioned, insured New York notary public in business attire, with a live arrival window by text and a receipt that itemizes every fee.
Checking free options first? Our guide to where to get something notarized in Manhattan covers the county clerk, the library and the banks, and when each one works.
Midtown and the office towers
Midtown, Hudson Yards, Hell's Kitchen, Times Square, Bryant Park, Grand Central, Murray Hill and Turtle Bay. Office visits are half our Manhattan work: corporate resolutions, closing packages, sworn statements signed between meetings. Your notary signs in at security with state ID and a Sealed NYC credential, arrives dressed for the building, and is usually in and out in fifteen minutes.
Upper East Side and Upper West Side
The Upper East Side, Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, Sutton Place, Roosevelt Island, the Upper West Side, Lincoln Square, Manhattan Valley and Morningside Heights. Estate work leads here: wills, health care proxies and powers of attorney for aging parents, often at the kitchen table with family present and a witness we bring. The hospital corridor along the East Side, Lenox Hill, NewYork Presbyterian Weill Cornell, HSS and Memorial Sloan Kettering, is a daily stop.
Downtown, the Village to FiDi
Greenwich Village, the West Village, SoHo, NoHo, Nolita, the Lower East Side, the East Village, Gramercy, Flatiron, Union Square, Chelsea, Tribeca, Chinatown, the Financial District and Battery Park City. Downtown bookings run from startup paperwork and gallery consignments to condo closings and consulate documents. Evening slots to midnight fit downtown schedules, and the courts cluster is minutes away when a filing needs a sworn signature first.
Upper Manhattan, with no cutoff
Harlem, East Harlem, Manhattanville, Hamilton Heights, Sugar Hill, Washington Heights and Inwood. Plenty of Manhattan notary services stop at 96th St; our rate card does not have an asterisk. Same $125, same arrival windows, same evening and Sunday coverage. Harlem Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and NewYork Presbyterian Columbia are regular bedside stops.
Hospitals in Manhattan
NewYork Presbyterian Weill Cornell and Columbia, NYU Langone, Bellevue, Mount Sinai, Mount Sinai West, Mount Sinai Morningside, Lenox Hill, Memorial Sloan Kettering, HSS, Harlem Hospital, Metropolitan 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.
Courts and county offices
New York County Supreme Court at 60 Centre St, the criminal courts at 100 Centre St, Surrogate's Court at 31 Chambers St, the county clerk inside 60 Centre and the federal courthouse at 500 Pearl St. If your filing needs a sworn signature, having the affidavit notarized before you get in line beats hunting for one inside. We meet filers on the courthouse steps or at a coffee shop on Chambers St, any morning from 7am.
Same day and emergency notary in Manhattan
Booked for today, the visit is $165 all in. Under 3 hours, it is $220 and dispatch is immediate.

|---|---|
| Midtown and Downtown | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Upper East and Upper West Side | 35 to 50 minutes |

Traffic decides the exact minute; the live arrival window in your confirmation text decides your plans. Both totals appear on the booking form before you confirm.
Apostille service in Manhattan
For documents headed abroad, we notarize at your location, then run the New York County clerk authentication and the New York State apostille for $150 plus government fees, with an express option. The apostille page has the full price table, timelines and what to do about birth certificates.
What Manhattan customers book most
Coop and condo closings and refinance packages. Corporate resolutions and investor documents at the office. Powers of attorney and estate documents uptown, often bedside. Consulate and embassy paperwork with an apostille to follow. Travel consent letters before school breaks. Affidavits sworn the morning of a court filing. If a New York notary public can sign it, we bring it to your door.
Manhattan mobile notary FAQs
How much does a mobile notary cost in Manhattan?
$125 flat for the visit anywhere in Manhattan, plus New York's statutory $2 per notarized signature. Same day is +$40, emergency under 3 hours is +$95, evenings after 8pm or weekends are +$50. The booking form shows your exact total before you confirm, and the price never changes at the door.
Why do other Manhattan notaries advertise $95 or $99?
Those are intro rates, and the fine print adds the rest when the notary arrives: after hours fees, extra signer fees, parking. The market rate for a real Manhattan visit runs $125 to $130. Ours is $125 with nothing added except the $2 per signature the state sets.
Do you cover Harlem, Washington Heights and Inwood?
Yes, every block of upper Manhattan at the same $125. Several Manhattan services quietly stop at 96th St; we do not. Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Sugar Hill, Washington Heights and Inwood get the same flat rate and the same arrival windows.
How fast can you reach a Midtown office?
On an emergency booking, usually 30 to 60 minutes to any Manhattan address. We sign in at building security with state ID and a Sealed NYC credential, so the visit works in any office tower.
Can you come to NYU Langone, Mount Sinai or NewYork Presbyterian?
Yes, we work bedside in Manhattan 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 Manhattan open on Sunday?
Yes, every Sunday, 7am to midnight, anywhere in the borough at $175 all in with the weekend addition. Our open now guide covers evenings, Sundays and holidays across the city.
Can you handle an apostille in Manhattan?
Yes. We notarize at your location, then run the New York County clerk authentication at 60 Centre St and the state apostille for $150 plus government fees. The apostille page has the full price table and the express option.
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 get into One World Trade or a high security building?
Yes. Your notary arrives a few minutes early, signs in at security with state ID and a Sealed NYC credential, and follows the building's visitor process. Put the building name in the booking notes and check in happens without you chasing anyone.
Do you handle coop board packages?
Weekly. Coop packages carry a crowd of signature lines and strict formatting, so tell us the building and the management company in the notes. We bring an impartial witness when the package calls for one and check every line before leaving.
Can we meet in a lobby or a coffee shop instead?
Of course. Lobbies, coffee shops, coworking spaces and courthouse steps are all normal meeting spots. Pick any public place in Manhattan and put it in the address field when you book.
Are you available after 8pm in Manhattan?
Yes, every night until midnight, seven days. Evening visits after 8pm add $50, shown in your total before you book. Most Manhattan notaries stop between 8 and 9:30pm; the late evening is half the reason we exist.
Can you meet me near the courts downtown?
Yes, outside 60 Centre St, 100 Centre St, Surrogate's Court at 31 Chambers St or the federal courthouse at 500 Pearl St. Getting the affidavit notarized before you get in line is almost always the faster path.
