Certified Notary Public
Ronald “Ron” Allyn (aka R.C. Allyn) is commissioned by the California Secretary of State as a Notary Public.
The Notary Public commission requires certain eligibility requirements: completion of study approved by the Secretary of State, passing a written exam administered by proctors of the Secretary of State, and a background check at both the state and federal levels.
What is a Notary Public’s function?
The role of a Notary Public is identity authentication and signature verification.
A Notary Public cannot provide any legal advice.
A Notary Public is a public official commissioned by the State, who serves as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. A Notary Public’s main function is to verify the identity of the signer, ensure they are aware of what they are signing, are signing willingly without pressure, and verify their signature.
Some documents also require that the Notary Public administer an oath or affirmation. This helps prevent fraud and ensures documents are legitimate.
Notaries Public certify the proper execution of many of the life-changing documents of private citizens – whether those transactions convey real estate, grant powers of attorney, establish a prenuptial agreement, or perform the multitude of other activities that enable our civil society to function.
The notarization “certifies” the document making it “official.”
Why use a mobile Notary Public?
In California, you, the signer, must meet with the Notary Public in person. Although many places such as attorney offices, title and escrow companies, hospitals, care facilities, banks, and others have an on-site Notary Public, you must adjust your schedule to meet their office hours and Notary Public availability.
With x Sign here mobile notary service, I COME TO YOU at the place and time that fits your schedule.
I work outside of typical office hours, including weekends and holidays – unlike most offices.

What to Expect when Hiring x Sign here
Upon being assigned to perform a notary service – by either you, the signer, or the document originator – you will receive a telephone call from me.
During the call I will ask you when and where you would like to meet for the notary service. If my Notary service has not been assigned by a document originator (e.g., an escrow company or a loan company), I will ask you what kind of documents I will be notarizing.
Sometimes the documents include the State-required notary certificate for me to fill out. If the documents do not include the required certificate, then I will ensure I bring the correct certificate(s) with me.
Sometimes the document originator (e.g., a title company), will have your copy of the documents sent to you in advance. Other times, I will pick up the documents from the document originator and bring them with me to your appointment. In all cases, it is my responsibility to ensure that all the notarized documents are returned to the document originator.
At the place and time you have chosen, I will arrive, show you my identification at the door, and proceed to perform the notary service you need. We will need a somewhat quiet location with a table and chairs.
I will ask you to produce one of several State-approved identifying documents to establish the identity of the signer. If I have not reviewed the documents previously, I will review the them to ensure there are no blank spaces, and then you will sign each document.
I will sign in the Notary Public block of the notary certificate and apply my State-required official seal.
Upon completion of the notary service, I will have you sign a State-required and approved journal book. Some types of documents will also require that you apply a thumb print in the journal.
Depending on the number of signatures required, you can expect our meeting to last a minimum of 45 minutes.
If I have not approved payment by the document originator, I will collect my fee from you at this time.

Q&A
Historically, when did Notaries/notarization start?
According to the National Notary Association: “The origins of Notaries can be traced to ancient Egypt [approximately 2750 B.C.] — a time when making records official transactions became important to humanity.”
What are California’s approved documents to verify identification?
The Notary Public can establish the identity of the signer using identification documents as follows (Civil Code section 1185(b)(3) and (4)):
1. There is reasonable reliance on any one of the following forms of identification, provided it is current or was issued within 5 years:
a. An identification card or driver’s license issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles;
b. A United States passport;
c. An inmate identification card issued by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, if the inmate is in custody in California state prison;
d. Any form of inmate identification issued by a sheriff's department, if the inmate is in custody in a local detention facility; or
2. There is reasonable reliance on any one of the following forms of identification, provided that it also contains a photograph, description of the person, signature of the person, and an identifying number:
(a) A valid consular identification document issued by a consulate from the applicant’s country of citizenship, or a valid passport from the applicant’s country of citizenship;
(b) A driver’s license issued by another state or by a Canadian or Mexican public agency authorized to issue driver’s licenses;
(c) An identification card issued by another state;
(d) A United States military identification card (caution: current military identification cards might not contain all the required information);
(e) An employee identification card issued by an agency or office of the State of California, or an agency or office of a city, county, or city and county in California.
(f) An identification card issued by a federally recognized tribal government.
What if you are not in possession of a California-approved identification document?
The identity of the signer can be established by the oath of a single credible witness whom the Notary Public personally knows (Civil Code section 1185(b)(1)). The Notary Public must establish the identity of the credible witness by the presentation of paper identification documents as set forth above [see Q&A regarding California approved documents]. Under oath, the credible witness must swear or affirm that each of the following is true (Civil Code section 1185(b)(1) (A)(i)-(v)):
1. The individual appearing before the Notary Public as the signer of the document is the person named in the document;
2. The credible witness personally knows the signer;
3. The credible witness reasonably believes that the circumstances of the signer are such that it would be very difficult or impossible for the signer to obtain another form of identification;
4. The signer does not possess any of the identification documents authorized by law to establish the signer’s identity; and
5. The credible witness does not have a financial interest and is not named in the document signed.
What is the difference between an oath and an affirmation?
According to the National Notary Association: “While both oaths and affirmations are notarial acts that compel a person to tell the truth, an oath is a solemn, spoken pledge to God or a Supreme Being, while an affirmation is a spoken pledge made on the signer’s personal honor with no reference to a higher power. Either is considered acceptable, and the choice is left to the signer…. The wording may be formulated as a question or a statement….”
Affordable Notary Fees
At x Sign here, I believe that notary services should be accessible and affordable for everyone. I offer competitive pricing for all of my services, and I am always upfront about the related fees. You can trust me to provide transparent pricing and no hidden costs.
How much x Sign here charges for an appointment depends on how much distance/time I must travel, how many signatures or oaths must be notarized, and other allowable charges. The California Secretary of State limits how much Notaries can charge for each signature or oath and other notarized materials.
