When it comes to notary services, finding a reliable and affordable option can be challenging. AAA, an organization known for its automotive and insurance services, has made this task simpler by offering notary services to both members and non-members. This blog post will detail AAA's notary services, the associated costs, and present Notarize as a 24/7, online alternative.
AAA provides comprehensive notary services at many of their branch locations across the United States. These services cover a wide array of documents, such as wills, deeds, affidavits, contracts, and more. AAA notaries are certified in their state, ensuring that the process is conducted legally and efficiently.
Of AAA’s 1000 branches, most offer notary services, but it's wise to call ahead and confirm the availability of a notary at your desired location. Appointments are usually not required, but they can be made to guarantee service at a specific time. To find the AAA nearest to you, use their online branch locator tool.
For AAA members, notary services often come at a reduced rate, typically between $10 and $15 per signature. For non-members, costs can vary depending on the location and the type of document but are typically competitive with other local notary services.
While AAA's notary services are an excellent option for many, there may be times when finding a notary during regular business hours is inconvenient. This is where Notarize comes in.
Notarize is an online platform that offers 24/7 notary services. Through a secure and user-friendly interface, customers can get documents notarized from the comfort of their own home. Notarize’s network notaries are licensed to perform remote online notarizations, providing a convenient option for those in need. AAA also recommends online notarization as a convenient solution.
Notarize requires customers to upload the document needing notarization, verify their identity, and then connect to a notary via video call. The notary will then virtually walk the customer through the signing process, notarize the document electronically, and provide a digital copy. The notarized document can then be downloaded or shared.
Notarize's pricing is transparent and starts at $25 per notarization. Cost can increase if additional notary seals are needed. Overall, this is very competitive with what AAA charges in most states.
AAA's notary services offer a trusted and often cost-effective option for those in need of traditional notary services.
However, if you find yourself in need of notary services outside regular business hours or prefer the convenience of an online solution, Notarize offers a viable 24/7 alternative.
Whether you choose AAA or Notarize, understanding your options can help you make the right decision for your notary needs.
