Mobile visits in New Jersey follow the regular schedule around the holiday. The days right before Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day fill first, so book early.

## About Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples' Day

The second Monday of October is a federal holiday, observed as Columbus Day and, in many places, as Indigenous Peoples' Day. Banks and post offices close, while many businesses stay open, so it's easy to show up at a bank for a notary and find it closed.

If you have a document going abroad, an apostille can't be issued while the state office is closed, but the notarization can be done that day so the document is ready the next business day.
