Christmas notary
Notary over Christmas
Offices close for the holidays, but deadlines don't. Book an online session from your phone, or a mobile visit before or after the holiday.
Matthew Coleman, NJ Notary Public and NNA Certified Loan Signing Agent. Cranford, NJ. Fee confirmed before your session. Card charged only after it is complete. We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm.
Open times
Online notary: Saturday and Sunday, 7 am to 9 pm
Mobile visits: Saturday 9 am to 5 pm.
When we're open
Christmas falls on Friday, December 25, 2026. Online sessions run 7 am to 9 pm on regular days, and the booking form shows exactly which times are open around the holiday. A $75 holiday fee can apply on the holiday itself; the desk confirms it before your appointment.
Mobile visits follow the regular schedule on the days around the holiday. Book early: the days before Christmas fill first.
What people get notarized around Christmas
- Travel consent letter for a child flying for the holidays
- Power of attorney or health care proxy while family is in town
- Year-end real estate or loan papers
- Gift letter for a down payment
Winter trips and year-end closings
Children traveling abroad over winter break with one parent, or with grandparents, are often asked for a notarized travel consent letter. Get it signed before the trip, since airlines and border officers can ask for it and a notary may be hard to find on the road.
Buyers trying to close before December 31 run into banks and offices on reduced holiday hours. If your lender allows an electronic or remote signing, an online session can keep the closing on track; if it needs ink on paper, book a mobile visit early in the week before Christmas, when the calendar still has room.
Price
An online session starts at $40. A mobile visit starts at $75, plus a $40 weekend fee on Saturday or Sunday. Every fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. New Jersey caps the notarial fee itself; the rest is the session or the trip.
