## 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 New Year's Eve fill first, so book early.

## About New Year's Eve

December 31 is a regular business day, but many offices close early. It's the last chance to sign year-end documents dated this year: closings, contracts and some estate and tax-related papers.

A notary records the date you actually sign. If a document needs to be signed by December 31, plan the session for the morning and confirm the deadline with your attorney or the receiving office first.
