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.

About Easter
Easter Sunday isn't a public holiday, but it's a Sunday when families gather and most offices are closed anyway. Online sessions are booked by the time slots shown in the booking form, Sundays included when a slot is open.
When relatives are in one place, it can be a good time to sign estate papers or a power of attorney that need several people. Have the documents drafted and reviewed by your attorney first, and make sure everyone signing brings a valid photo ID.
What people get notarized around Easter
- Travel consent letter for a child traveling with one parent or a relative
- Wills, trusts and estate papers with witnesses
- Power of attorney or health care proxy

Price
An online session starts at $40. A mobile visit starts at $75, with no weekend surcharge. 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.
