What we handle on Christmas Eve
Last-minute notarizations
Powers of attorney, parental-consent and travel-consent letters, affidavits, and year-end legal documents.
Apostille prep
We prepare documents bound for Hague countries and submit the moment offices reopen after the holidays.
Travel-consent & POA
Heading overseas over the break? We notarize minor travel-consent letters and powers of attorney while you still can.
Appointments are required and Christmas Eve fills fast. Reserve early and we’ll have a notary ready when you arrive.
How Christmas Eve service works
- Book your appointment. Choose a time and the nearest office, or request mobile service to your home.
- Bring valid photo ID. A current government-issued photo ID for every signer; leave the document unsigned.
- Sign and seal. We notarize on the spot and schedule any apostille or legalization for the next open business day.

When would the apostille actually be issued?
