Leadership
Chelsea Rivera
Chelsea Rivera founded Notary On Demand in 2020 and is a commissioned notary public with more than a decade of hands-on signing experience. She built the company to bring 24/7 mobile notarization to people who cannot get to a bank or a UPS Store during business hours, and the National Notary Association has recognized her work. Today she leads the company as Founder and industry educator: she writes the site's notary guides and sets the standards every notary in the network is held to.

We show up when it matters most.
Notary On Demand exists to remove the obstacles between people and the documents that protect their families. We bring notary service to wherever you are (home, hospital, office, bedside) whenever you need it, because the moments that call for a notary rarely happen during business hours.
Vision
To become the most trusted and responsive mobile notary network in America.
Nobody should miss a closing deadline because they couldn't find a notary, and no family should be left powerless at a hospital bedside. We're building a network where that doesn't happen, and where "mobile notary" actually means mobile.
Verification & Standards
Before a notary takes a single signing for us, we verify each of the items below. Renewals are tracked so coverage never lapses mid-assignment.
- 01
State commission verification
We confirm every notary holds an active commission with their state's commissioning authority before they take a single signing.
- 02
Background check provider & cadence
All notaries are screened by an accredited background check provider at onboarding and re-screened periodically per NNA-aligned standards.
- 03
$1M E&O insurance
Every notarization is backed by $1,000,000 in errors & omissions insurance, well above the typical $25K–$100K minimums most notaries carry.
- 04
Surety bond per state
Each notary carries the surety bond their state requires (amounts vary — for example California requires $15,000) so the public has a financial remedy if a notarial duty is breached.
- 05
NNA certification
All notaries are NNA Certified — they have passed the National Notary Association's certification exam and follow its Code of Professional Responsibility.
- 06
Ongoing training
Notaries in our network complete annual continuing-education refreshers covering statute updates, document categories (POA, deeds, loan signings, apostilles), and identity-fraud red flags so practice keeps pace with current law.
- 07
Renewal cadence
Commissions, bonds, E&O, and background checks are tracked on a calendar so renewals never lapse mid-assignment.

Our Core Values
1. We Answer the Phone
In this industry, 'I'll get back to you' is the norm. We pick up. Everything else we do rests on that.
2. We Go Where You Are
Mobile means mobile. We travel to homes, hospitals, and job sites instead of asking you to come to an office. If we promise convenience, we deliver it.
3. We Handle What Others Won't
Banks refuse wills. UPS stores close at 6pm. We fill that gap with the jobs other notaries turn down: estate planning, bedside POAs, midnight closings.
4. We Bring Calm to Crisis
A lot of customers meet us on one of the worst days of their lives. Our job is to stay professional, be patient, and treat people with care.
5. We Get It Right the First Time
A missed signature can delay a closing, so we train for the details and check our work before we leave.
6. We're Transparent About Price
We quote the price before the appointment, and the quote is what you pay. No sliding scales, no surprise fees on arrival.
7. We Build Partnerships
Our business clients treat us as an extension of their team, and that only works if we show up the same way every time. So we do.
Active Markets
We currently operate mobile notary teams in five major U.S. metros, with same-day appointments at homes, hospitals, and offices.
Our Promise
"When you call Notary On Demand, you get a real person, a real appointment, and a professional who shows up prepared and on time."
"They called us because everyone else said no, wasn't available, or didn't call back. We're the ones who answer."
