Your Trusted Mobile Notary Public in Portland, Oregon
Portland looks compact on a map and drives like anything but: the Willamette splits the city, a handful of bridges meter every east-west trip, and the jobs have spread far past Multnomah County: Nike's campus sits in Washington County outside Beaverton, Intel's fabs are in Hillsboro out the Sunset Highway, and Lake Oswego and Oregon City are Clackamas County problems. We stage Oregon-commissioned notaries on the inner eastside, downtown, and out the westside so a signing lands wherever you are without a bridge lift wrecking the ETA. One thing locals learn the hard way: an Oregon commission stops at the state line, so if you're in Vancouver and the document must be notarized in Washington, you need a Washington notary. But meet us on the Oregon side, at Jantzen Beach or anywhere in Portland, and we can notarize it under Oregon law no matter where the document is headed. Oregon caps the notarization itself at $10 per act, travel is quoted flat upfront, and deeds are prepared with the right county recorder in view, because in this metro there are three.
How a Portland Mobile Notary Visit Works
Text Us the Address
Oregon caps the in-person act at $10, so travel is the variable. Send the address and we text one flat quote before a notary crosses a single Willamette bridge.
Central City, Then the Counties
Downtown, the Pearl, and the inner eastside around Hawthorne, Division, and Alberta run 30 to 60 minutes. Washington County out US-26, Clackamas, and Gresham take longer.
Sealed for the Right County
Oregon accepts ID expired up to three years, which is forgiving. What is not forgiving is filing in the wrong county, so we confirm Multnomah, Washington, or Clackamas before sealing.

What Portland Clients Say
Bridge-lift delays, Hillsboro drives, OHSU bedsides — here is what Portland metro clients say about our notaries.
"Refinanced our Pearl District condo and the title company needed signatures by Friday. The signing agent came to our building on NW Lovejoy after work, walked every page, and we funded on schedule. Painless."
"My grandmother needed a power of attorney signed in her room at OHSU. The notary handled the hill, the parking, and the nursing staff like he'd done it a hundred times — because he clearly had. Gentle, quick, professional."
"Needed a quitclaim deed notarized at our house in St. Johns on short notice, and they even flagged that a second property was in Clackamas County and would record in Oregon City. That's the kind of detail you want."
Why Choose Our Mobile Notary in Portland?
Here's why Portland residents and businesses keep calling Notary On Demand when they need a mobile notary.
Staged on Both Sides of the River
We dispatch from the inner eastside, downtown, and the Washington County side, so a Hawthorne bungalow, a PSU-area office, and a Hillsboro tech campus all get whoever genuinely reaches them fastest, not whoever is stuck watching a bridge lift.
OHSU, Legacy, and Providence Bedside Experience
Our Portland notaries work patient rooms at OHSU up on Marquam Hill, Legacy Emanuel, Providence Portland, Legacy Good Samaritan in the Northwest District, and Adventist off I-205. Powers of attorney and advance directives are handled calmly, around nursing schedules.
Three Counties, Three Recorders, Zero Guesswork
A Portland-metro deed might record in Multnomah, Washington, or Clackamas County, three different offices in three different cities. We confirm which county your property actually sits in before anyone signs, so the packet aims at the right recorder the first time.
Oregon Will Signings Staged Correctly
Oregon wills need two attesting witnesses under ORS 112.235; a notary seal is not a substitute. When your estate attorney sends a will package, we help stage the room with qualified witnesses and notarize the self-proving affidavit that keeps them out of probate court later.
The $10 Cap, Quoted Straight
Oregon's Secretary of State caps every in-person notarial act at $10 (OAR 160-100-0400). Your quote shows that capped fee and the flat travel charge as separate lines, whether we're crossing the Burnside Bridge or driving out US-26 to Hillsboro.
Westside Tech Campus Fluency
Stock-plan paperwork, relocation documents, and employment agreements around the Nike and Intel edges of Washington County are a steady part of our week. We clear campus visitor procedures in advance and meet you at the office, not a shipping store.

Notarial acts in Oregon are governed by ORS 194.215 et seq. (Oregon Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA)). Every Notary on Demand professional in Portland is commissioned and in good standing under these statutes.
Oregon Notary Law — What Portland Signers Should Know
Every notarization on this page is performed under ORS 194.215 et seq.. Here's the short version of how Oregon notary law affects your appointment.
Fees in Oregon
Oregon caps the notary fee at $10 per notarial act (acknowledgment, jurat, signature witnessing, or certified copy), a maximum set by Secretary of State rule (OAR 160-100-0400) under ORS 194.400, with a separate $25 cap for remote online notarizations. Oregon expressly allows a travel fee on top, and requires fees to be disclosed; we quote the capped fee and the travel charge as separate lines before we drive.
Acceptable ID
- Oregon driver license or state ID — or one from any other state — current or expired ≤3 years
- U.S. passport or an officially recognized foreign passport, current or expired ≤3 years
- U.S. military ID card
- Tribal ID or other U.S., state, county, or local government photo ID with signature, current or expired ≤3 years
- Verification on oath of a credible witness who knows the signer (ORS 194.240)
Witness Rules
Oregon's three-year grace period on expired ID is one of the most forgiving in the country, and if the signer still has nothing usable, ORS 194.240 lets a credible witness swear to their identity; the witness must be known to the notary or show qualifying ID of their own. One Oregon quirk worth planning for: a will requires two attesting witnesses under ORS 112.235, and a notary stamp is never a substitute. We help coordinate witnesses for estate signings instead of pretending the seal fixes it.
Remote Online Notarization (RON)
permittedOregon made remote online notarization permanent effective June 15, 2021 (SB 765, folded into ORS Chapter 194), after a temporary pandemic authorization. Portland signers can use an Oregon RON notary for many documents at the $25 capped fee, though hospital rooms, wet-ink loan packages, and will signings that need live witnesses still call for in-person service.
Read our online notary guideWhat an Oregon Notary Cannot Do
- •Oregon notaries cannot certify copies of birth, death, or marriage certificates — those come only from Oregon Vital Records or the county.
- •Non-attorney notaries cannot give legal advice or prepare immigration paperwork — Oregon specifically disciplines misleading 'notario público' advertising.
- •A notary cannot make an invalid will valid: Oregon wills need two attesting witnesses under ORS 112.235, so estate signings are staged with witnesses, not just a stamp.
Informational only — not legal advice. For your situation, consult a licensed Oregon attorney.

Where Your Portland Document Goes After Notarization
For deeds and other real-property documents signed in Portland, notarization is step one — recording is step two. Here's where that happens.
Multnomah County Division of Assessment, Recording & Taxation
501 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Suite 175, Portland, OR 97214
Deeds, trust deeds, and other real-property documents for Portland addresses in Multnomah County record with the Division of Assessment, Recording & Taxation on SE Hawthorne. But this metro splits three ways: Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Tigard properties record with Washington County in Hillsboro, and Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, and Oregon City properties record with the Clackamas County Clerk in Oregon City. We confirm the county before the signing so your packet goes to the right office.
