About Elwanda Scales
Notary Near Me Summerville, SC is run by Elwanda Scales, a notary public commissioned by the State of South Carolina. The business is mobile by design: the notary drives to the signer rather than the other way round, across Summerville, Ladson and Goose Creek, at whatever hour the paperwork actually needs signing.
We notarize the documents you provide. Bring the paperwork you already have and current photo identification, and we handle the notarial act, the identification and the certificate. What we do not do is draft documents, fill them in, decide which form you need, or tell you what they mean — South Carolina reserves that work for licensed attorneys. Ask the office that issued the document, or an attorney, and then call us for the notarization.
Questions people ask
- Can I get a document notarized online in South Carolina?
- No. South Carolina has not legalized remote online notarization, so a South Carolina notary cannot notarize your signature over a video call. The signer and the notary have to be in the same room. That is exactly why this service is mobile: instead of you going somewhere, the notary comes to you.
- Can a notary come to your house?
- A notary can come to your house, and that is the whole business here. There is no office to drive to and no counter to wait at. You call, we agree on a time and a travel fee, and the notary shows up where you already are. Read more
- Can a notary come to the hospital?
- Yes, a notary can come to the hospital. Nothing about a hospital room stops a notarial act, as long as the signer is there, has identification, knows what is being signed, and is signing willingly. We do these calls at 2 a.m. the same way we do them at 2 p.m. Read more
- Can a notary marry someone in SC?
- Yes. In South Carolina a notary public may solemnize a marriage (S.C. Code §20-1-20; South Carolina Secretary of State Notary Public Manual, p. 8). The ceremony has to take place inside South Carolina. No separate officiant registration exists in this state — the notary commission is the authority. Read more
- How to get an apostille in South Carolina?
- In South Carolina, apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State in Columbia. The document has to reach that office in acceptable form, with the state fee, and then come back to you. You can do that yourself by mail. Most people who call us are short on time, are sending documents overseas for the first time, or have already had a package returned. Read more
