How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Seattle notary listings. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.6 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 from a smaller base. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a notary cost in Seattle? (2026)

Washington State caps the fee a notary can charge per signature notarized, and mobile notaries can add a separate travel fee on top of that. Retail counters like shipping stores typically charge close to the state maximum per stamp, while mobile and specialist notaries may charge more for after-hours visits or complex documents like apostilles. Always confirm the per-signature fee and any travel or appointment charge before you book.

Serving all of Seattle

The notary services above cover downtown Seattle, South Lake Union and the surrounding core, with mobile options able to travel further into the metro. Searching for a notary public near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you use a notary public

What forms of ID do you accept, and do I need a primary and secondary form?
What is your per-signature fee, and is there a travel or after-hours charge?
Do you handle apostille or document legalization, or notarization only?
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Can you notarize documents in another language, or do you need an interpreter?
Do all signers need to be present in person?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these notary services?

We started from every notary public listing in Seattle with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is a notary the same as a lawyer?

No. A notary public verifies identity and witnesses signatures on documents. They cannot give legal advice or draft legal documents. If you need legal advice about a will, contract, or agreement, consult a licensed attorney.

Can a notary in Seattle also handle an apostille?

Some can help prepare documents for apostille or international legalization, as reviewers describe with Ifra Khan above, but the apostille itself is issued by the Washington Secretary of State, not the notary. Confirm what a specific notary can and cannot do for your document before you book.

The bottom line

For a simple signature during business hours, The UPS Store is the safe, most-reviewed default. For anything more involved, like an apostille or a document that needs to travel internationally, Ifra Khan’s mobile service carries the strongest rating on this list. Either way, confirm your ID and the fee before you arrive.
