When a loved one is in the hospital and needs documents notarized, we come to the bedside. Need It Now Notary provides bedside notarization at hospitals and care facilities throughout the Knoxville area — evenings, nights, and weekends included.
Hospitals and nursing homes are exactly the kind of situation where traditional notary offices fail you. Your family member may be unable to travel, documents may have legal deadlines, and the notary needs to be there now. That's what we do.
We travel directly to the hospital room, nursing home, or assisted living facility — at any hour. Our notary verifies identity, witnesses signatures, and completes the notarization on-site so your documents are legally valid and accepted.
We serve Fort Sanders Regional, UT Medical Center, East Tennessee Children's Hospital, Tennova facilities, and all hospitals and care centers across Knox, Blount, Anderson, Sevier, and Union counties.
Critical documents that often need notarization in a hospital or care facility setting include:
Healthcare POA or financial POA so a trusted person can make decisions if the patient cannot.
Healthcare directive outlining end-of-life wishes. A common need during serious illness.
Names a person to make medical decisions if you become incapacitated.
Can be signed and notarized at a care facility with proper witness arrangements.
Hospital admission documents, treatment consent, and authorization to release information.
Life insurance, bank accounts, and retirement accounts beneficiary changes.
Note: We verify identity and witness signatures. We do not draft documents or provide legal advice.
Getting a notary to your hospital room is straightforward. Here's what to expect:
Call (865) 809-9588 and tell us which hospital or facility, what documents need notarizing, and when you need us there. For critical situations, call immediately — we understand urgency.
We coordinate directly with the facility's visitor or security requirements. Our notary arrives at the room with proper credentials and completes the notarization.
After the notary approves the appointment, you'll receive a full payment link. We accept Credit Cards, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle. Once paid, the appointment is confirmed.
All documents are properly signed, witnessed, and notarized with an official seal. Your documents are valid and ready for submission.
We also serve residents at nursing homes and assisted living facilities throughout the Knoxville area. Whether it's updating estate documents, adding a healthcare proxy, or handling financial POA paperwork, we come to the facility on your schedule.
To make the hospital notarization as smooth as possible, have the following ready when we arrive:
Do not sign documents before the notary arrives. All signatures must be made in the notary's presence.
