About MK Notary Services

I am the owner of MK Notary Services, LLC — accredited by the Better Business Bureau and rooted in the Tallahassee community for over 20 years. My notary practice is built on 15+ years of notarial expertise combined with more than 30 years of administrative and professional experience across a range of industries.

I am certified as a Loan Signing Agent, Certified Apostille Agent, and Remote Online Notary (RON), and am NNA Certified with a completed background screen. I have successfully closed all types of loan packages and work directly with title, escrow, and mortgage companies alongside many realtors and signing services.

Beyond real estate and loan signings, I provide apostille preparation and submission services to clients throughout Florida and worldwide — helping individuals navigate the process of authenticating documents for international use through the Florida Department of State. I also offer Remote Online Notarization, allowing clients anywhere in Florida to get documents notarized without needing to appear in person.

Having lived and worked in Tallahassee for over two decades, I am deeply invested in this community. Whether you need a quick document notarized, a complex apostille prepared and submitted, or a simple ceremony officiated, I bring the same level of care and professionalism to every interaction.

I continually strive to raise the bar of excellence so each and every client has a positive experience. My primary goal is not just to meet expectations — but to exceed them.

What can I say, I never met a notary with such competence, profesionalism and humanity.! I had a knotty international problem requiring notarial services and an apostle. Not knoing where to turn I had the good fortune to find Melissa. From the first contact Melissa took charge of the situation and quickly provided a solution. Melissa dissolved what at first appeared an insurmountable problem in a matter of days. I recommend her without reserve!. Don't hesitate!

I had a great experience with MK Notary Services. Their knowledge was impressive, the appointment was fast and efficient, and their honesty and professionalism put me at ease. The mobile notary near me arrived right on time and completed everything quickly. If happiness had a location on Google Maps, it would be here. AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I have used a number of services, and she is HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE any of the other services I have used.

Thank you so very much for your help notarizing and completing apostilles for a couple of customers I was recently assisting. You were truly a lifesaver! The two adult sons were located in Indiana while I’m based in California and unable to complete online notarizations here, so your support made all the difference. I’m so grateful for your professionalism, responsiveness, and guidance through the entire process — it was such a pleasure working with you! Tifini Vega - Detailed Notary, CA
