When we're open
Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 26, 2026. Online sessions run 7 am to 9 pm on regular days, and the booking form shows exactly which times are open around the holiday. A $75 holiday fee can apply on the holiday itself; the desk confirms it before your appointment.
Mobile visits follow the regular schedule on the days around the holiday. Book early: the days before Thanksgiving fill first.
What people get notarized around Thanksgiving
- Power of attorney or health care proxy while family is in town
- Travel consent letter for a child flying for the holidays
- Car title or bill of sale for a family car changing hands
- Wills, trusts and estate papers with witnesses
When the whole family is in one place
Thanksgiving is often the one weekend a year when parents, adult children and siblings are under the same roof. That makes it a practical time to sign estate papers that need several people: a power of attorney for an aging parent, a health care proxy, or a family member signing as a witness where a document calls for one.
Plan it before the holiday. Get the documents drafted and checked by your attorney first, agree who signs what, and book the session for the Friday or Saturday after, when everyone is rested and the calendar is quieter. Everyone who signs needs a valid photo ID, and anyone joining online needs their own device with a camera.
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.
