A mobile travel fee may also apply for appointments where I travel to you. Travel fees are separate from notarization fees, are not set by state law, and will always be disclosed and agreed to in advance.

To help keep travel costs fair and affordable, each travel fee is quoted individually based on the appointment location and details.

We accept multiple forms of payment for your convenience, including credit cards (tap-to-pay/Apple Pay), checks, cash, and Zelle.

Payment is typically collected at the time of service unless otherwise arranged in advance.

A notary public acts as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents.

The notary verifies the identity of the signer(s), confirms they are signing willingly and understand what they are signing, and completes the appropriate notarial certificate in accordance with state law.

A notary does not review, validate, or guarantee the accuracy or legality of a document’s contents.

Before scheduling, clients must know which type of notarization their document requires (such as an acknowledgment, jurat/verification on oath, or oath or affirmation).

As a notary public, I am not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice, including determining which notarial act is required for your document. The type of notarization must be indicated on the document itself or provided by the document preparer, attorney, agency, or requesting institution.

If you are unsure which notarial act is required, please contact the person or organization that provided the document before scheduling your appointment.

Appointments may be delayed or declined if the required notarial act is not identified at the time of service.

No. A notary public is not an attorney and cannot provide legal advice, explain documents, prepare documents, or advise which type of notarization is required. Clients are responsible for ensuring their documents are complete and for seeking legal guidance if needed.

The name reflects both the purpose of notarization and the identity behind the business.

“CR” represents the owner’s initials, while “Cursive” refers to the act of signing documents—an essential part of the notarization process. “Ink” highlights that signatures must be completed in ink and also serves as a subtle play on “Inc.,” nodding to the business’s LLC structure.

Together, the name emphasizes the precision, formality, and professionalism that go into every notarization.
