Hospital notary in Dallas

Who comes to the hospital

DFW Mobile Notary TX lists hospital, nursing home and assisted living visits, and powers of attorney and medical directives, across the Metroplex (DFW Mobile Notary TX about page, checked 2026-10-29). Other Dallas mobile notaries come to “your location” but do not mention hospitals specifically, so ask.

Some hospitals have staff notaries; policies differ, so ask the nurse station or patient services desk.

What Texas law requires

• The patient must personally appear before the notary at the time of notarization (§406.0091).
• The patient needs ID, unless the notary personally knows them (what ID to bring).
• If the patient physically cannot sign, a Texas notary may sign the patient’s name at the patient’s direction, in front of a disinterested witness, and must note this under the signature (§406.0165).
• A notary cannot give legal advice or prepare documents unless they are an attorney (§406.017). For a power of attorney, see power of attorney in Texas.

Can it be online?

If the patient can use a phone or tablet and has ID, a Texas online notary may work. Confirm the receiving party accepts online notarization.

Before you book

• Every signer needs an unexpired government-issued photo ID (what ID to bring).
• Do not sign until you are in front of the notary.
• Texas caps the notarial fee itself ($10 first signature on an acknowledgment, $1 each additional; §406.024). Ask for the total, including any travel charge, before you book. See notary fees in Texas.
• Check any notary’s commission in SOS Direct.
