Mobile Notary · Serving Nottingham, PA
Nottingham sits at the county’s southern edge near the Maryland line, known for the rare serpentine barrens of Nottingham County Park and as the longtime home of Herr’s, whose snack-food plant and visitor center anchor the area. It’s rural and spread out, and a nearby notary is rarely close by, so I make the drive to you.
Out here that usually means real-estate and refinance documents, powers of attorney, vehicle titles, affidavits, and the occasional business or employment form for people connected to the plants and farms along Route 1 and Route 272. I’ll quote the flat travel fee before the appointment so there’s nothing unexpected, and I work evenings and weekends for people who’d rather not take time off.
The employer side of Nottingham generates a specific kind of request worth explaining properly, because it’s routinely misunderstood. When a company hires someone who lives near here but reports to an HR office somewhere else, federal law still requires a person to physically examine that new employee’s identity and work-authorization documents and complete Section 2 of Form I-9. Employers may designate an authorized representative to do it. I take those appointments, meeting your new hire at the plant, at a job site, or at their home.
Here is the part that matters. Completing an I-9 is not a notarial act. I don’t apply my notary seal to it, I don’t charge a notarial fee for it, and I’m not acting as a notary while I do it. I act strictly as the employer’s authorized representative: I follow the written instructions the employer provides, examine the original documents the employee presents, complete and sign Section 2, and return the form. The Pennsylvania Department of State is direct about this, and a notary stamp on an I-9 is a defect rather than an enhancement.
I also don’t determine anyone’s work eligibility, and I don’t give immigration advice. That’s the employer’s responsibility and, where advice is genuinely needed, an immigration attorney’s. What I provide is a punctual, careful person in the room who examines documents properly and completes Section 2 the way the instructions require, so the form doesn’t come back to haunt an audit.
For everything else, the ordinary rules apply: bring a valid photo ID, and keep documents unsigned until I arrive. Every notarization is performed personally by Christopher J Abt, Commission #1470081.
Nottingham is about 13 miles from my base in West Grove, well inside the area I cover daily.
Notary work around Nottingham
Out here the documents tend to arrive in batches: a settlement, an estate, a piece of equipment changing hands. They all need the same thing, a notary who will drive to the property.
Deeds, easements, right-of-way agreements, and the powers of attorney that keep land in the family.
Sworn statements for insurance claims, damage reports, and agricultural program paperwork.
Equipment titles, bills of sale, and lease agreements signed in front of me.
A sworn oath or affirmation administered in person, at the kitchen table if that is easiest.
Certifying that a reproduction is a true copy of an original you would rather not mail.
Every act above is $5.00 in Nottingham and everywhere else in Pennsylvania — $2.00 for each additional name in the same certificate, and $3.00 per page to note a protest. Those are maximums set by the Commonwealth in 4 Pa. Code § 167.3, not prices I set. The travel & convenience fee starts at $45, is quoted before I set out, and is itemized separately from the statutory fee at the point of service. Full fee schedule → I'm a notary public, not an attorney, so I can't draft legal records or give legal advice, including immigration.
