Legal & Policy Information

Notarize With Angie ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and protected when you visit NotarizeWithAngie.com, request an appointment, contact us, or use our services.

Information We May Collect

• Contact information: name, telephone number, and email address
• Appointment details: service location, date, time, and service type requested
• Information you voluntarily provide in a booking form or message
• Basic website analytics and device/browser information from service providers

How We Use Information

• To respond to inquiries and schedule and perform services
• To communicate appointment confirmations and updates
• To process payments through our third-party payment processor
• To maintain business and legally required notary records
• To prevent fraud or misuse and improve our website and services
• To comply with applicable federal and Texas law

Service Providers

We may use third-party providers for website hosting, scheduling, payment processing, communications, analytics, mapping, or business administration. Those providers may process information on our behalf subject to their own terms and privacy practices. Current providers may include Formspree (form processing), Stripe (payments), Google Maps (mapping), and Google Analytics (analytics).

Notary Records

Texas law requires notaries public to maintain certain records of notarial acts. Information required for a lawful notarial record may be retained as required by Texas Government Code and Texas Secretary of State rules. We do not sell notary journal information.

Cookies and Analytics

The website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics, security, and marketing. Browser settings may allow you to limit or disable cookies, though doing so may affect some website features.

Retention and Security

We retain business information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, to satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain required records. No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children

Our services and website are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your Choices

• You may request to update or correct ordinary contact information we maintain, subject to legal record-retention requirements
• You may opt out of promotional communications at any time — transactional appointment messages may still be sent as necessary

External Links

Our website or social media pages may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date above identifies the current version. Contact us with any questions through the information published on NotarizeWithAngie.com.

Notary Services — Scope and Limitations

A notary public verifies identity and performs authorized notarial acts under Texas law. Notarization does not establish that a document is legally sufficient, enforceable, truthful, or appropriate for the signer's situation. Signers are responsible for presenting the correct document and obtaining independent legal advice when needed. Appointments are subject to signer identity, willingness, awareness, document completeness, and other requirements of Texas law. A notary may decline or stop a notarization when legal requirements are not satisfied.

Apostille Facilitation

Notarize With Angie offers apostille facilitation as a private administrative and courier service only. We do not issue apostilles. Apostilles are issued exclusively by government authorities. We cannot guarantee government acceptance or processing times. Eligibility and procedure depend on the issuing jurisdiction and destination country.

Passport-Related Services

Unless expressly identified as an authorized U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility, Notarize With Angie is not a passport acceptance facility and does not issue passports. Any passport photo or checklist service is a private, non-governmental convenience service. Official passport acceptance must be completed at a government-designated facility.

Fingerprinting Services

Fingerprinting availability depends on the requesting agency and required submission channel. Notarize With Angie does not represent that a private fingerprint service replaces the Texas FAST/IDEMIA system or another mandated provider unless specifically authorized for that transaction by the relevant agency. Clients should confirm required channels with the requesting agency before scheduling.

Government Non-Affiliation

Website information is provided for general informational purposes only and may change. Government requirements, fees, and procedures should be verified with the responsible agency.

Regulated notarial fees are charged only within Texas statutory limits and are always itemized separately from all other disclosed charges.

Texas SOS Apostille Fee

The Texas Secretary of State charges $15 per universal apostille and $10 per adoption apostille. These are government fees paid directly to the Texas SOS — entirely separate from Notarize With Angie's service fees.

Loan Signing Flat Rate

Loan signing appointments are quoted as a flat rate inclusive of travel, document printing, administrative coordination, scan-back preparation, and the notarial fee component. The notarial fee portion will not exceed the statutory maximum for the number of notarial acts performed.

Refunds — Important Distinctions

• Statutory notarial fees — not charged when a notarial act was not performed
• Travel fees already incurred — may be non-refundable when the notary has departed
• Government fees — Texas SOS apostille fees already paid are non-refundable by us; seek refunds directly from the agency
• Third-party costs — shipping, courier, and printing costs already incurred may be non-refundable

Notarize With Angie is committed to making its website and services reasonably accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.

Mobile Notary — Inherently Accessible Service

As a mobile notary, we come to you. Clients who cannot travel due to disability, age, illness, or hospitalization can receive notarial services at their home, hospital room, assisted living facility, memory care unit, or other preferred location. We are experienced in working patiently with signers in medical settings and with individuals who may need additional time or assistance.
