# Notary on Christmas Eve 2026

## Is a notary open?

Online, yes, when a session is open that day: the booking form shows the exact times. It's not a federal or New Jersey state holiday, so regular pricing applies unless the desk tells you otherwise before your appointment.

Mobile visits in New Jersey follow the regular schedule around the holiday. The days right before Christmas Eve fill first, so book early.

## About Christmas Eve

December 24 isn't a federal holiday, but many offices close early, and some banks and post offices run reduced hours. Closings scheduled for the last week of the year and trips abroad over winter break both run into it.

If a closing or a gift letter for a down payment needs a notarized signature before December 31, book early in the week. Online sessions are booked by open time slots, so the booking form shows exactly what's available.
