Online notary. You don't have to be in Idaho — or even in the country.

Yes. Idaho law authorizes remote online notarization, and I'm commissioned in Idaho to perform it. The session is recorded, the identity check is logged, and the certificate states plainly that the act was performed by remote online notarization. That record is stronger than what you get standing at a bank counter, not weaker.

Usually, but I can't promise it and neither can anyone else — that call belongs to whoever is receiving your document. Most banks, title companies, county recorders and foreign governments accept remote online notarizations. A few institutions and a few countries still insist on a wet signature. Ask them before you book. If they say no, text me and we'll set up a mobile appointment instead.

Yes, as long as you hold a U.S.-issued photo ID and have a U.S. credit history under your own Social Security number — that's what the identity questions are drawn from. Your physical location doesn't stop it. I've done sessions at odd hours to match time zones, and I'll do yours. If nothing on the calendar lines up, message me on WhatsApp at (208) 258-0285 — that's a WhatsApp line, not a phone line — and we'll find a time.

You can. A laptop or desktop is steadier — bigger screen, better camera angle, and far less likely to drop the connection halfway through a signature. If a phone is what you've got, use it, keep it plugged in, and find good Wi-Fi. Use Chrome if you have the choice; Safari and Firefox also work.

Through SendSafely, a secure transfer service — not as a plain email attachment. Your document is encrypted before it leaves my machine, and the key that opens it is carried in your link rather than stored on SendSafely's servers, so nobody there can read it either. You click the link, you download your PDF. That matters more than it sounds: the documents I handle carry Social Security numbers, account numbers and signatures, and ordinary email was never built to move that safely.

No. Everything runs in your browser. You'll get a link in your confirmation email, click it at your appointment time, and you're in.

You've got both options. I can arrange them for you at $60 each, or bring your own at $25 each — a friend, a neighbor, a coworker. Most documents want a witness who isn't named in them or standing to gain from them; if you're not sure yours qualifies, ask me when you book. Either way they join by video the same way you do, and either way they need their own device and their own ID, so tell me when you book and I'll get them verified ahead of time. Don't skip this and hope for the best — a document that needed two witnesses and got none has to be signed all over again.

You get the $85 back. No argument, no partial refund, no restocking fee. The questions come from your credit file, so a thin file or years spent abroad can sink them through no fault of yours. If that happens we'll talk about a mobile appointment or another route. You are never charged for a session that didn't happen.

As many as you've got. The $85 covers the first notarization and each additional one is $5. Five documents in one sitting costs $105, not five appointments. Upload them all when you book so I can look them over first.

Yes — add $199 and I'll take it through the Idaho Secretary of State. Shipping it back to you is quoted separately, because what that costs depends on where it's going and how fast you need it. If the document also needs translating, that's $60 a page. Tell me the country it's headed to and I'll tell you exactly which steps it needs.

Yes, and the scan-backs go out the same day. But I quote those per file rather than off this page — an escrow package is more work than a single notarization and there's a funding date riding on it, so it deserves a real number rather than a retail one. Call or text me at (208) 826-1210 with the file and I'll quote it.
