Powers of attorney and vehicle papers for relocating clients

What moving and relocation bring us

Moving and relocation companies don't usually need a notary for their own paperwork: bills of lading, inventories and vehicle shipping orders are signed, not notarized. The notary work belongs to the people being moved. A power of attorney lets a relative or agent sell the car or sign at a closing; the NJ MVC wants a POA used for a vehicle transfer notarized, and a limited one must name the vehicle's year, make and VIN. A deed for the old house has to be acknowledged to be recorded. International transferees add apostilles on diplomas, records and affidavits for the destination country.

For relocation management companies, the useful part is timing: we book the signing for the days before pack-out, and if the transferee has already left, a remote session still works for most of these papers.

What we handle for you

• Mobile notary visit: the transferee signs at home among the boxes, or at the office.from $75, plus state notarial fees

• Vehicle title and MVC paperwork signing: MVC POAs and title papers with the VIN checked.from $75, plus state notarial fees
• Apostille handling: documents prepared for an overseas assignment.from $125, per document, plus state fees
• I-9 authorized representative: I-9 review for a new hire who starts away from the employer's office.from $50, per employee

How ordering works

1. Send the transferee's name, move date and the papers they need to sign.
2. We book before pack-out or set up a video session and quote it.
3. The transferee signs and acknowledges each document before the notary.
4. Originals go where your instructions say: the agent, the closing office, or back to you.

One account for the whole office: ask for it with the form below, and once the desk has set it up your team orders in the client portal and gets one monthly invoice with your reference on each line. Until an account is approved for terms, jobs are paid when booked; approved accounts pay on net-30 terms, by card or ACH bank debit. New Jersey caps the fee for each notarial act; travel and service fees are separate and shown on the quote. See also business accounts and prepaid business plans.

Where we work

New Jersey is served directly from our desk in Cranford, with in-person visits on the schedule shown when you book. For moving and relocation with signers in other states, remote online notarization works anywhere the receiving office accepts it, and in-person signings outside New Jersey go through our notary network where we can find a commissioned notary. We confirm coverage before accepting a job, and say so plainly when we can't cover it.

Read on the official pages in November 2026. Rules and forms change, and the office receiving a document decides what it accepts. General information about our services, not legal advice; we are not lawyers.

What we don't do

• We don't draft powers of attorney or advise on which kind to use.
• We don't sell vehicles or deal with the MVC on the transferee's behalf.
• Bills of lading and shipping orders don't need a notary, and we won't add one.
