Choose a mobile notary when you need after-hours or weekend availability, onsite service (home, office, escrow, hospital), witness coordination, or help with full loan/real-estate packages. Mobile is also ideal for clients with mobility limits, shift work, or tight funding timelines where a closed branch or a long queue could jeopardize a rate lock. If it’s a basic single-page form during weekday hours and you’re already at a bank, in-office may be fine. For speed, complexity, or convenience, mobile wins.
