Common Questions

Why Choose Nate’s for Notary?

Convenience and trust. We’re right here in Franklin VA — no long drives, no parking hassles. You can take care of errands and get your papers notarized all in one stop. Grab bait, groceries, or a snack while you’re at it. Simple and reliable, just like it should be.

Do I need an appointment?

Nope. Just stop by — we handle walk-ins every day.

What ID do I need?

A valid government-issued ID: driver’s license, passport, or state ID (must be current).

How long does it take?

Usually less than ten minutes.

What if I forget my ID?

We can’t notarize without it. No ID, no stamp. That’s the rule everywhere, not just here.

Can I get a notary if I can’t come to the shop?

Yes! We offer mobile notary service. We can come to your home, office, nursing home, or even a coffee shop. As long as you have your document and valid ID, we’ll notarize it on the spot. A small travel fee applies, but it’s worth the convenience.

How much does it cost?

Our notary service is simple and fair. Most documents have a small per-signature fee. You’ll know the cost upfront — no hidden charges or surprises. Quick, honest, and local.

How do I keep my bait alive overnight?

No gimmicks—just common sense. Treat your bait like living things and they’ll still be lively in the morning. Worms: Keep them cool and damp, away from heat or direct sun. Store in a shaded spot or a cooler with the lid slightly open. Minnows: Change the water if it gets cloudy and make sure it stays fresh. Don’t overcrowd your bucket. Crickets: They hate heat, so don’t leave them in a hot car. Add a bit of cardboard inside the box so they can cling and breathe.
