What we notarize
Services
If it needs a signature and a seal, Signatures of Chicago Notary can most likely handle it — at your kitchen table, your office, or wherever is easiest for you.
General notarizations
Acknowledgments, jurats, and oaths or affirmations for everyday documents — affidavits, consent forms, contracts, and more.
Power of attorney & estate documents
Powers of attorney, wills, trusts, and advance directives — notarized with patience and privacy, at home or at a care facility.
Healthcare documents
Healthcare powers of attorney, living wills, and HIPAA authorizations — including visits to hospitals and rehab facilities.
Business & legal documents
Corporate resolutions, partnership agreements, I-9 supporting paperwork, and other business documents your office needs sealed.
Vehicle & title documents
Title transfers, bills of sale, and vehicle paperwork — quick appointments that keep you out of the Secretary of State line twice.
Fees follow Illinois notary guidelines, plus a travel fee based on distance. Call or text with your document type and location and you'll get an exact quote before we book — no surprises.
Simple by design
How it works
Three steps, and we handle the driving.
1
Book your appointment
Call, text, or email with what you're signing and where you'd like to meet. We'll confirm a time that works for you — evenings and weekends included.
2
We come to you
Home, office, hospital, nursing facility, title company, or a coffee shop near you — anywhere in the service area below.
3
Sign & seal
We verify ID, witness your signatures, and apply the official seal. Most appointments take about 15–30 minutes.
Before your appointment
- Every signer needs a valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID, or passport).
- Bring the document complete but unsigned — signatures must happen in front of the notary.
- All signers must be present, willing, and aware of what they're signing.
- If your document needs witnesses, let us know when you book so we can plan for it.

About Signatures of Chicago Notary
Signatures of Chicago Notary was founded by Dorothy Williams, an Illinois notary who has passed the Illinois notary exam and whose commission is in progress, based in Palatine. Dorothy built the business on a simple idea: notarizing something important shouldn't mean taking time off work, driving across town, and hoping the office is still open when you get there.
With a professional background in human resources — years of handling confidential paperwork, deadlines, and documents that have to be exactly right — Dorothy brings that same care to every signing. Wills, closings, powers of attorney: these are some of the most important papers of your life, and they're treated that way.
Your documents, sealed with care.
