Notary Public ~ General Notary ~ Estate Planning Document Signing
Hi, I'm Jennie, the face behind Jennie's Notary Nook. A mobile notary service based in Southern Oregon.
My journey into notary services didn't start as just a business decision - it grew from trial and error. Over the years, I've walked through seasons that required resilience, rebuilding, and learning to move forward through faith while depending on God's strength, and trusting His mercy to lead the way. Those experiences shaped the way I am showing up for people today because I understand the importance of every signature, every document, and every detail, and I am deeply respectful of the personal and often emotional nature of the documents I handle.
What sets me apart is not just convenience, but care. I come to you--your home, office, or care facility--because I believe accessibility matters. I take time to ensure every document is completed accurately and every client feels heard, respected, and never rushed. Integrity, reliability, and compassion guide every appointment I take.
At Jennie's Notary Nook, you're not just getting a mobile notary--you're getting someone who values your time, your trust, and the responsibilty that comes with every signature.
I look forward to serving you.
-- Jennie
An acknowledgment is the most common notarial act - I verify your identity, witness your signature, and confirm you're signing of your own free will. This is required on a wide range of documents including deeds, powers of attorney, loan documents, and contracts. If you're not sure whether your document needs an acknowledgment, bring it along and I'll take a look.
A jurat is used when a document requires a sworn statement - you sign in my presence and take an oath or affirmation that the contents are true. Common examples include affidavits, sworn declarations, and certain court filings. I'll administer the oath and complete the notarial certificate to make your document legally valid.
Sometimes a document or legal proceeding requires a verbal oath or affirmation without a written signature - I'm authorized to administer both. An oath invokes a solemn promise; an affirmation is a non-religious alternative that carries the same legal weight. This service is often requested for depositions, court-related matters, and official proceedings.
Need a verified copy of an important document? I can certify that a photocopy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original. This is commonly used for passports, diplomas, business records, and other personal documents. Note that state laws vary on which documents can be copy-certified - I'll confirm eligibility at the time of your appointment.
Estate signings incolce notarizing important documents used for end-of-life planning and asset distribution. These may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives. As a mobile notary, I ensure each document is properly executed, identities are verified, and the signing porcess is handled with professionalism, care and confidentiality --- often in the comfort of your own home or facility.
An I-9 authorization is the process of verifying a new employee's identity and eligibility to work in the United States by reviewing required documents and completing the federal Form I-9.

Generally, no. Most notarizations require the signer to sign in the notary's presence. Bring your documents unsigned unless specifically instructed otherwise.
In Oregon, a notary public is prohibited from notarizing for a spouse. While Oregon law does not specifically ban notarizing for other relatives, it is strongly advised against, as a notary cannot act if they have a direct or financial interest in the document, which can be hard to prove with family
