How to Find a Notary Open on Sunday
Updated 2026-09-19
On a Sunday your best options are an independent mobile notary who offers weekend appointments or a remote online notary, because banks, shipping stores and offices with notary counters are usually closed. Weekend appointments are widely available, though travel and convenience fees are often higher than on a weekday.
Who actually works on Sunday
Sunday coverage comes almost entirely from self-employed notaries. Many treat weekends as prime time, particularly mobile notaries who serve families, hospitals and care facilities when relatives are able to gather.
Filter a directory to your area, then look for notaries who mention weekend availability, and contact more than one.
Consider online notarization
A remote online notary can meet by live video at times when nothing local is open. Check with whoever receives the document that an electronically notarized version is acceptable before you book.
Plan a weekend appointment well
- Get every signer in the same place at the same time.
- Check that each signer's photo identification is current.
- Leave the document unsigned unless told otherwise.
- Confirm the total fee, including any weekend surcharge, up front.
- Ask about witnesses in advance — they are rarely easy to find on short notice.

Read guideNotarization requirements vary by state and document type. A notary public generally cannot give legal advice, choose a document for you, draft a document unless separately authorized, tell you how to complete a form, or explain the legal effect of signing. If you are unsure whether your document needs notarization or which notarial act is required, ask the agency or person receiving the document, or consult a qualified legal professional.
