Tips For Successful Hospital Signing Visits

  • The signer must be alert and aware of what is happening before the notarization can be completed. 
  • All medications inhibiting cognitive awareness must be withheld before the notary’s arrival. Please consult your doctor before doing so. We are open 24/7, so we can come anytime that is most convenient for you and your health.
  • Pressure or coercion on the signer will end the appointment without notarization and be charged for the appointment. The notary may clear the room of all non-medical personnel to check for coercion. 
  • Valid government-issued identification is essential. Valid Examples are a Wisconsin driver’s license or passport, which are acceptable. This valid identification might not always be accessible, such as in emergencies or when seniors have let their identification expire. There are many solutions to this problem; call us so we can work out a solution at 414-207-9090.
  • If the signer cannot sign their name, some options are available; we can help at 414-207-9090.
