Business Notary Account for Contractors & Construction Companies
Every pay draw on an Illinois job comes with paperwork that has to be sworn: contractor’s sworn statements, and the lien waivers owners, lenders, and title companies collect before releasing money. When the person who signs is on a jobsite and the draw deadline is tomorrow, hunting for a notary costs you days of cash flow. A free Business Notary Account puts a commissioned Illinois notary on priority call at your office or trailer, for one flat visit fee and one monthly invoice.
- Built for: general contractors, subcontractors, and construction managers
- Coverage: on-site at your location within 15 miles of Naperville
- Price: free account · $95 flat per visit + $5 per notarial act · net-30 invoicing
Why a business notary account makes sense for you
- Illinois’ Mechanics Lien Act requires the contractor’s statement to be in writing and “under oath or verified by affidavit” before the owner pays (770 ILCS 60/5) — that means a notary, every draw.
- Many title companies and construction lenders also require lien waivers from the GC and each sub to be notarized before funds are released.
- Your signer is rarely at a desk. We meet them at the office, the jobsite, or the trailer on a schedule built around your draw calendar.
- Combine visits with on-site fingerprinting for crews on school and municipal jobs — one trip, one invoice.

Frequently asked questions
Do lien waivers have to be notarized in Illinois?
The contractor’s statement under the Mechanics Lien Act must be sworn. Whether a lien waiver must be notarized is usually set by the owner, lender, or title company collecting it — many require it. Check their instructions; we notarize whichever documents they ask for.
Can you come to the jobsite?
Yes. On-site visits within our service radius can be at your office, the jobsite, or the trailer — wherever your signer is.
How much does a business notary account cost?
The account is free — no monthly fee or contract. Each on-site visit within our service radius is one flat visit fee, plus $5 per notarial act (the Illinois maximum), billed on one net-30 invoice each month. See the pricing on our Business Notary Account page or call or text 847-436-5222.
Can you combine other services with a notary visit?
Yes. The same visit can include on-site fingerprinting, Form I-9 verification, apostille paperwork, or document courier — one trip and one monthly invoice.
Do you prepare or fill in the documents?
No. A notary cannot draft documents, fill in blanks, or give legal advice. Have documents complete but unsigned; we verify identity, watch each signer sign, and complete the notarial certificate.
