Notary Public ~ Estate Planning Document Signing ~ I-9 Verification ~
Hi, I'm Jennie, the face behind Jennie's Notary Nook.
A mobile notary serving Southern Oregon.
My journey into notary services didn't begin simply as a business decision. It grew through seasons of trial, change, resilience, and rebuilding. Through those experiences, my faith has taught me to keep moving forward, trust in God's direction, and extend patience with myself along the way. Those lessons have shaped the way I serve people today.
I understand that the documents I handle are often connected to important and deeply personal matters in a persons life, and that's why I believe every signature, every document, and every detail deserves care and attention.
What sets me apart is not just convenience, but care. I come to you - whether that's your home, office, or care facility - because I believe accessibility matters. I take the time to ensure documents are handled carefully and that every client feels heard, respected, and never rushed.
Integrity, reliability, and compassion guide every appointment I take.
At Jennie's Notary Nook, you're not just getting a mobile notary. You're getting someone who values your time, your trust, and the responsibility that comes with every signature.
I look forward to serving you.
-Jennie
Estate signings incolce notarizing important documents used for end-of-life planning and asset distribution. These may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives. As a mobile notary, I ensure each document is properly executed, identities are verified, and the signing porcess is handled with professionalism, care and confidentiality --- often in the comfort of your own home or facility.
An I-9 authorization is the process of verifying a new employee's identity and eligibility to work in the United States by reviewing required documents and completing the federal Form I-9.
An acknowledgment is the most common notarial act - I verify your identity, witness your signature, and confirm you're signing of your own free will. This is required on a wide range of documents including deeds, powers of attorney, loan documents, and contracts. If you're not sure whether your document needs an acknowledgment, bring it along and I'll take a look.
A jurat is used when a document requires a sworn statement - you sign in my presence and take an oath or affirmation that the contents are true. Common examples include affidavits, sworn declarations, and certain court filings. I'll administer the oath and complete the notarial certificate to make your document legally valid.
Need a verified copy of an important document? I can certify that a photocopy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original. This is commonly used for passports, diplomas, business records, and other personal documents. Note that state laws vary on which documents can be copy-certified - I'll confirm eligibility at the time of your appointment.
As a mobile notary, I come to you. I serve clients throughout Medford and Southern Oregon area including Grants Pass Oregon. I can accommodate a wide range of settings including hospitals, care facilities, estate companies, and coffee shops. If you're not sure whether I cover your location, just reach out and I'll do my best to make it work.
I do my best to keep flexible hours because I know your schedule doesn't always cooperate. Whether you need a morning appointment before work, an evening signing after the kids are in bed, or something on a Saturday, I'll do my best to make it happen. I'm also available for time-sensitive situations when you need a notary sooner rather than later. Reach out and we'll find a time that works.

Generally, no. Most notarizations require the signer to sign in the notary's presence. Bring your documents unsigned unless specifically instructed otherwise.
In Oregon, a notary public is prohibited from notarizing for a spouse. While Oregon law does not specifically ban notarizing for other relatives, it is strongly advised against, as a notary cannot act if they have a direct or financial interest in the document, which can be hard to prove with family
