Providing Notary Public Services in Ingham County Michigan and surrounding areas.
WELCOME TO TKS MOBILE NOTARY & APOSTILLE SERVICES
I became a notary in the mid 1990’s while working in my first legal office setting (I am not, nor have I ever been, an attorney). I have maintained my notary status continuously since that time, and in November 2012 started TKS Mobile Notary. The main idea was to provide personal, professional and accurate notary services taken directly to my client’s doorstep, in a fashion that is best suited to each individual customer.
EXPERIENCE AS A NOTARY PUBLIC
I have closed over 8,500 real estate loans: Refinances, Seller Packets, New Purchase Mortgage, Split Closings, VA Loans, Reverse Mortgage, HELOC /HELO, Structured Settlements, Business Loans and Construction Loans. I also assist individuals weekly with General Notary Work, Estate Planning and I9 Verifications. See my Services Page* for more detail.

(What is an Apostille?)

NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICES AT YOUR CONVENIENCE
As a full time wife and mother, I understand that not all documents can be signed between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., nor can they always be done in the location of the individuals preparing the documents. This is why I am excited to bring notary public services to you. My hours vary as an independent contractor, specializing in early mornings appointments. Please contact me for a quote and appointment.
