Welcome
Welcome to Catalysts Notary Services. We offer in-person notary appointments at our Houston office and visits to locations in the Cypress area, subject to availability. Whether you need an acknowledgment, a sworn statement notarized, or an eligible copy certification, we aim to make your appointment clear, convenient, and professional.
How We Can Help
Acknowledgments
For documents requiring a signer to acknowledge their signature before a notary.
Jurats, Oaths & Affirmations
For statements requiring an oath or affirmation and the appropriate notarial certificate.
Eligible Copy Certifications
For qualifying non-recordable documents. Official certified copies of public records must be obtained from the agency that holds them.
Clients may bring prepared affidavits, travel consent forms, powers of attorney, estate-planning documents, and other documents requiring notarization. Service depends on the document and requested notarial act. We do not prepare legal documents, give legal advice, or select the required notarial act for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring?
Bring your prepared document, with information completed except signatures that must be made before the notary, and acceptable current identification. Each person whose signature is being notarized must appear in person. Let us know ahead of time if witnesses are required.
What identification should I bring?
A current U.S. state- or federal-government-issued identification document with your photograph and signature, such as a driver’s license or U.S. passport, is a common option. Please contact us before the appointment if you do not have one so we can discuss whether another permitted identification method applies.
Should I sign my document before the appointment?
It depends on the notarial act. An acknowledgment may concern a signature already made; a jurat requires signing before the notary after an oath or affirmation. If you are unsure, wait until the appointment for signing instructions.
Can you arrange a witness?
We may be able to arrange an eligible witness for $25 per witness, subject to availability and the document’s requirements. Please tell us in advance if the document requires witnesses or if you need help arranging one. No arrangement fee applies when you bring your own eligible witness.
What if my document has no notarial wording?
Ask the document preparer or receiving organization which notarial act is required. We can provide a suitable certificate once the required act is identified, but we cannot choose the act for you.
How much will my appointment cost?
One acknowledgment with one signer at our office is $10. Travel, witness arrangements, printing, scanning, and any applicable after-hours charge are separate. We confirm the itemized total before your appointment. See Services & Fees for details and examples.
Are evening and weekend appointments available?
They may be available by appointment. A $25 after-hours charge applies to agreed appointments Monday–Friday before 9:00 AM or after 5:00 PM, and Sundays. Saturdays do not carry an automatic after-hours charge. Availability and any charges are confirmed beforehand.
Does submitting the form confirm my appointment?
No. The form sends us your request. Your appointment is confirmed only after we contact you and agree on the details. Please wait for our confirmation before coming to the office or expecting a Cypress-area visit.
Can you prepare documents or give legal advice?
No. Please bring documents prepared by you or the appropriate professional. We do not provide legal advice or determine which notarial act your document requires.
Can I send my ID or documents ahead of time?
Please do not send identification photos or sensitive documents through a general website inquiry. Bring them to your confirmed appointment instead.
Privacy reminder: please do not submit identification photographs or sensitive documents through a general website inquiry.
