One flat rate for the whole island
Staten Island gets the worst deal in New York notary work: services that advertise citywide coverage, then decline the booking, add a bridge fee, or quote by phone with the tolls priced in twice. We put the borough on the rate card instead. The visit is $245 flat anywhere on the island, Tottenville included, and the only other charge is New York's statutory $2 per notarized signature.
| Visit type | Total on Staten Island |
|---|---|
| Standard, booked ahead | $245 + $2 per signature |
| Same day | $285 + $2 per signature |
| Emergency, under 3 hours | $340 + $2 per signature |
| Evening after 8pm or weekend | add $50 |
Yes, it is the highest rate on our card, and the reason is distance, not opportunity. The number is published, it includes every toll and crossing, and it does not change at your door.
Checking free options first? Our guide to where to get something notarized on Staten Island covers the few walk in options on the island, and when each one works.
The North Shore: St. George, Stapleton and the ferry
St. George, Tompkinsville, Stapleton, Clifton, West Brighton, Port Richmond, Mariners Harbor, Grymes Hill and Silver Lake. The civic heart of the island is here, Borough Hall, the county clerk on Stuyvesant Pl and the courthouse on Central Ave, and so is the ferry: we meet commuters at the St. George terminal before the morning boat, affidavits sworn and signed before the lines form. Wagner College on Grymes Hill brings enrollment forms, travel consents and study abroad paperwork.
The East Shore: New Dorp, the beaches and the boardwalk
Grasmere, Dongan Hills, Grant City, New Dorp, Oakwood, Bay Terrace, Midland Beach and South Beach. Family homes and family paperwork: closings, refinances, powers of attorney for aging parents, and travel consent letters before school breaks. Staten Island University Hospital's north campus sits off Seaview Ave, and bedside visits there are a weekly part of our route.
The South Shore: Great Kills to Tottenville
Great Kills, Eltingville, Annadale, Huguenot, Prince's Bay, Pleasant Plains, Rossville, Charleston and Tottenville, the end of the line and still the same flat rate. The South Shore is where citywide services quietly stop answering; we built the price so we never have to. Closings and home equity signings lead here, along with estate documents signed at the kitchen table with the whole family present.
Mid Island: Todt Hill to the mall
Todt Hill, Castleton Corners, Willowbrook, Bulls Head, New Springville, Richmondtown and Travis. Office visits around the corporate parks, signings near the College of Staten Island, and plenty of evening bookings from households where both signers get home after 7. Evenings are not an exception for us; slots run to midnight every night.
Hospitals and nursing homes on Staten Island
Staten Island University Hospital north and south campuses, Richmond University Medical Center, and every rehab and nursing facility on the island. The signer must be awake, aware and willing; we can bring an impartial witness, and the $25 facility fee covers check in time. The hospital notary page explains the capacity protocol, ID at the bedside and health care directives in full.
Same day and emergency on Staten Island
Booked for today, the visit is $285 all in. Under 3 hours, it is $340, dispatch is immediate, and honest arithmetic applies: the island is the far end of the city, so typical arrival is 60 to 120 minutes depending on neighborhood and the crossings. The booking form shows the total, and your confirmation text carries a live arrival window.
Apostille service on Staten Island
For documents headed abroad, we notarize at your 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 an express option. Full price table and timelines on the apostille page.
What Staten Island customers book most
Purchase closings, refinances and home equity packages, more than any other borough per capita; this is where the city owns its homes. Powers of attorney and estate documents for parents. Bedside signings at the two hospital systems. Travel consents, pension forms and DMV paperwork. Ferry terminal meetups for Manhattan commuters who need it done before work. If a New York notary public can sign it, the island is covered.
Staten Island mobile notary FAQs
How much does a mobile notary cost on Staten Island?
$245 flat for the visit anywhere on the island, 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 the exact total before you confirm, and nothing is added at the door.
Why is Staten Island the highest rate on your card?
Distance, plainly. Staten Island is the farthest borough from our Manhattan base, and the round trip is real time. We would rather publish $245 and honor it than advertise a low number and grow it with bridge and toll additions on arrival, which is how this borough usually gets treated.
Do you really cover Tottenville and the South Shore?
Yes, to the last block of the island. Tottenville, Pleasant Plains, Prince's Bay, Huguenot, Annadale and Charleston are inside the same $245 flat rate, not a surcharge zone.
How fast can you get to Staten Island?
On an emergency booking, typically 60 to 120 minutes depending on where on the island you are and the traffic on the crossings. Same day bookings get a confirmed arrival window by text, so you are never waiting blind.
Is there a notary on Staten Island open on Sunday?
Yes, every Sunday from 7am to midnight. A Sunday visit is $295 all in with the weekend addition. Our open now guide covers evenings, Sundays and holidays across the city.
Can you come to Staten Island University Hospital?
Yes, both campuses, and Richmond University Medical Center, weekly. The signer must be awake, aware and willing; we bring an impartial witness when needed, and the $25 facility fee covers check in time. The hospital notary page covers bedside rules in full.
Do you handle closings and refinances on Staten Island?
Constantly; this is the homeowner borough. Purchase packages, refinances and home equity signings, with witnesses provided and every page checked before we leave the table.
Can I get an apostille for a Staten Island document?
Yes. We notarize at your location, then handle the county clerk authentication at 60 Centre St in Manhattan, where our notaries are commissioned, and the New York State apostille. The apostille page has the full price table and timelines.
Can we meet near the ferry or the courts in St. George?
Yes. The St. George terminal, Borough Hall, the county clerk on Stuyvesant Pl and the courthouse on Central Ave are all normal meeting spots, and mornings from 7am work well before the court lines form.
