Contracts that start January 1
Leases, service agreements and partnership papers often take effect on the first of the year, and the signatures are needed in the last days of December. Small business owners also use the quiet week between the holidays to sign operating agreements, resolutions and loan documents.
Read the dates in the document before you sign. A contract dated January 1 can usually be signed earlier; the notary records the date you actually sign, not the date the contract starts. If anything about the dates is unclear, ask your attorney before the signing.
Price
An online session starts at $40. A mobile visit starts at $75, plus a $40 weekend fee on Saturday or Sunday. 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.
