When you need a notary today — we show up. Need It Now Notary specializes in same-day, after-hours, and urgent notarization throughout the Knoxville area. Call or text (865) 809-9588 and we'll confirm your appointment fast.
Most notary offices close at 5pm. We don't. When you have a document that needs notarization today — before a deadline, before a meeting, before the end of the business day — we come to you.
Emergency notarization isn't just for "emergencies" in the dramatic sense. It means you needed to book an appointment this morning and have it done by this afternoon. It means your closing is tomorrow and you just found out the signature needs notarization. It means your family member is in the hospital and the documents need to be signed today.

Getting an emergency notary is the same process as a standard appointment — just faster.
Call (865) 809-9588 and tell us what you need and where you are. The faster you call, the more likely we can get there today. For the fastest response, call over texting.
We check our schedule and tell you exactly when we can be there. If it's urgent, we clear our schedule.
After the notary approves the appointment, you pay in full. We accept Credit Cards, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle. Payment secures the appointment.
We arrive at the agreed location and time. Documents signed, witnessed, and notarized on the spot.
Many notary emergencies happen outside of business hours. That's exactly when we're available:
Appointments booked with less than 2 hours notice may carry a $25 rush fee. This reflects the cost of clearing existing commitments to make room for urgent requests. We'll tell you upfront before you commit.
The faster we can verify everything, the faster we get there. Have the following ready when you call:
Do not sign documents before the notary arrives. All signing happens in our presence.
