Saturday morning, a real estate closing is on the calendar. Sunday afternoon, a family member needs a power of attorney in place before a procedure scheduled for Monday. A private car sale is happening this weekend and Tennessee requires a notarized title transfer. The problem: virtually every notary in Knoxville is closed.
Banks don't offer Saturday notary service. UPS Stores have limited weekend hours and no guarantee a commissioned notary is on shift. Law offices and title companies are locked up until Monday. Real life doesn't follow business hours — and neither does Need It Now Notary. We provide mobile notary service throughout the Knoxville area on Saturdays and Sundays, with same-day appointments available.
Why You Need a Notary on the Weekend
Weekend notary needs aren't rare. They're a predictable consequence of how real estate, legal documents, and family schedules actually work:
- Real estate closings on Saturday — Buyers and sellers often close on Saturdays to avoid taking time off work. Loan signing appointments for purchase transactions and refinances happen all weekend long.
- Private vehicle sales — Tennessee law requires a notarized signature on a title transfer for private vehicle sales. Weekend is peak time for those transactions.
- Power of attorney before Monday procedures — If a family member has surgery or a procedure scheduled Monday morning, the POA needs to be in place before the weekend is over.
- Estate document signings — Wills, trusts, and advance directives require notarization. When the whole family is gathered for the weekend, it's often the only realistic window everyone is in the same place.
- Affidavits with Monday court deadlines — Court filing deadlines don't pause for the weekend. Documents that need to be filed first thing Monday have to be notarized beforehand.
Saturday Notary in Knoxville
Need It Now Notary is available all day Saturday, typically from 8am to 9pm. We offer same-day appointments — call or text in the morning and we can often meet you the same afternoon. There's no need to schedule days in advance for most documents.
We come to you anywhere in Knox, Blount, Anderson, Sevier, or Union County. That means your home, your real estate agent's office, a coffee shop, a title company conference room, or wherever the signing needs to happen. Saturday availability is the same as any other day — full service, no surcharge for the day of the week.
Real estate agents and title companies rely on us regularly for Saturday loan signings. If you're coordinating a closing, see the information box below for how we work with title professionals.
Sunday Notary in Knoxville
Yes, Sunday too. Sunday notary appointments are by appointment and we accommodate them regularly. A few of the most common Sunday scenarios:
- Pre-closing document prep — Title companies and closing attorneys sometimes need Sunday appointments to get loan documents signed before a Monday morning closing.
- Advance directives before Monday procedures — Healthcare proxies, living wills, and durable powers of attorney for patients with Monday surgeries or procedures.
- Family estate signings — When relatives are visiting for the weekend, Sunday is often the only day everyone is still in town and available to sign together.
Sunday availability is genuine — not a marketing claim with a lengthy callback process attached. Call or text (865) 809-9588 and we'll confirm your appointment directly.
Most Common Weekend Notary Scenarios
Here's what we handle most often on weekends throughout the Knoxville area:
- Real estate loan signings — Purchase closings, refinances, and home equity loans. We work directly with borrowers, buyers, sellers, and title companies.
- Vehicle title transfers — Tennessee requires a notarized seller's signature on private vehicle sales. We meet buyers and sellers wherever the transaction is happening.
- Power of attorney — Especially time-sensitive when a Monday surgery or medical procedure is scheduled. General, durable, and limited POAs all handled.
- Wills and estate documents — Wills, trusts, and healthcare directives when the full family is gathered in one place for the weekend.
- Affidavits — Sworn statements and affidavits with court filing deadlines that fall on or right after the weekend.

What to Have Ready for Your Weekend Appointment
Weekend appointments work exactly the same as any other notary appointment. To keep things smooth, have the following ready before we arrive:
- Valid government-issued photo ID for every signer — Driver's license, passport, or state ID card. It must not be expired. Every person signing a document must present their own ID.
- Unsigned documents — Do not sign anything before the appointment. All signatures must be made in the notary's presence. Pre-signed documents cannot be notarized.
- A meeting location — Your home, a coffee shop, a title company office, a hospital room, wherever works for you. We'll come to you.
