Notary Public in Addison, TX: Mobile, In-Person and Online

Your notary is already in Addison

Addison is where Gwen is commissioned, where her seal and journal live, and where the shortest appointment on the calendar happens. The Town of Addison covers 4.4 square miles and carries a single dedicated ZIP code, 75001, so a "mobile" appointment here is the shortest trip we make. She holds both a Texas notary public commission and a separate Texas online notary public commission, which means an Addison signer genuinely gets to choose the format instead of taking whatever a platform offers.

What an Addison day actually looks like

Addison is legally a Town rather than a city: incorporated in 1953, chartered in 1982, and run under a council-manager government, the same designation Highland Park carries. Its residential population was 16,661 at the 2020 Census, roughly 17,290 by the 2024 American Community Survey five-year estimate. But the Census figure that shapes the work is the daytime population change due to commuting: +27,356, a 156.1% increase. More than twice as many people stand inside those 4.4 square miles at two in the afternoon as at two in the morning, and nearly all of that difference is people at work.

So the day splits. Lunch-hour signings happen in office lobbies and conference rooms along the Dallas North Tollway, Quorum Drive, Spectrum Drive and Arapaho Road. Mary Kay Inc. keeps its global headquarters at 16251 Dallas Parkway on a 33-acre campus; Concentra is headquartered at 5080 Spectrum Drive. Later, after the towers empty, the appointments move to kitchen tables in Vitruvian Park and living rooms around Addison Circle. In between there is Belt Line Road, the strip the Town nicknames Restaurant Row (visitaddison.com claims over 200 restaurants in just 4.4 square miles, the most restaurants per capita in the country), and a quiet corner booth on Belt Line has closed more than one signing.

Addison Airport and the paperwork that flies

Addison Airport (ADS) is owned by the Town and is one of the busiest single-runway general aviation airports in Texas. It has 576 based aircraft (326 single-engine, 86 multi-engine, 157 jet and 7 helicopter) and logged 119,065 operations in the year ending 30 September 2023, split about 68% general aviation to 32% air taxi. The single runway is 7,203 by 100 feet of concrete, redesignated from 15/33 to 16/34 in 2022. Around it sits a cluster of fixed-base operators, charter companies, maintenance shops and owners, and that cluster generates aircraft bills of sale, registration paperwork, lease and management agreements and corporate resolutions, documents that are frequently signed on a schedule set by a departure time. Being based in the same town as the ramp matters more there than anywhere else in the service area.

Where an Addison document gets recorded

Addison sits entirely in Dallas County. Deeds, transfer-on-death deeds and other recordable instruments go to the Dallas County Clerk, and Addison signers almost never need the downtown Records Building at 500 Elm Street, Suite 2100. The North Dallas branch at 10056 Marsh Lane, Dallas 75229 is a straight run down Marsh from Belt Line and handles the same filings. Of all the local knowledge on this site, that one address probably saves clients the most time.

The documents Addison brings us

• Powers of attorney, durable and medical: usually signed at home, often at short notice, sometimes with a family member on speakerphone from out of state.
• Self-proving affidavits. A Texas will is valid without a notary: the testator's signature plus two disinterested witnesses satisfies Estates Code § 251.051. The self-proving affidavit that spares an executor a probate hearing is the part that needs a notary, and it is strongly recommended.
• Deeds and refinance packages for Addison Circle condominiums, Vitruvian Park townhomes and the single-family pockets off Addison Road.
• Corporate resolutions, vendor agreements and sworn affidavits from the Tollway office corridor.
• Vehicle title transfers for TxDMV, and minor travel consent letters before school breaks.

What we do not do is decide which of those you need. We notarize documents you provide; we do not prepare, draft, select or advise on documents.

In person or online, and the one case with no choice

Remote online notarization has been legal in Texas since 19 August 2018, and Gwen's separate online commission covers identity proofing, credential analysis and the recorded audio-video session the rules require. For a single affidavit or a corporate signature page it is often the fastest route available. There is one hard exception, and it is worth knowing before you book: wills, codicils and testamentary trusts are specifically excluded from remote and electronic notarization in Texas and must be signed in person. If the estate binder is on the table, the remote option is simply off, and when the notary is already in Addison, that stops being an obstacle.

One more thing Texas notaries cannot do, which people ask about surprisingly often: officiate a wedding. Under Texas Family Code § 2.202 that authority belongs to ministers, priests, rabbis, authorized officers of a religious organization and judges, unlike Florida, Nevada, Maine, South Carolina, Tennessee and Montana.

Booking an appointment here

Inside the Town of Addison (75001), the visit fee is $15 when we come to you at a home, office, hotel or coffee shop, charged once per visit, plus the $10 State fee per notarization: $25 for one notarization, $35 for two. If you would rather meet us, a meet-up at our Addison meeting spot is $5 per visit (weekdays 9 am to 6 pm, by appointment only; the address and directions are sent after booking), so one signature comes to $15. The neighboring ZIPs 75240, 75244 and 75254 are Zone 2 ($25 visit fee), but if your address is inside the Town of Addison, it's the Addison price. The ZIP box in the calculator on pricing gives the exact zone for your address, and the written quote confirms it.

State notarial fees are set by Texas Government Code § 406.024 and § 406.111. Travel and convenience fees are separate and are not notarial fees.

Arrival times depend on traffic and weather; we confirm a time window when you book. Tell us the document, the address and the window that suits you, and the total is quoted in writing before anything is confirmed. See pricing for the statutory notarial fees and our separate visit fee, read how a traveling appointment runs on the mobile notary page, or compare it against an online notarization session. Call or text us, or send the details through contact, and we will tell you which of the two actually fits your document.
