Last Updated: March 2026

## Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Thrive Carolina and Apostille Services website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

## Services Description

Thrive Carolina and Apostille Services provides mobile notary public services, apostille processing, loan signing agent services, and related document authentication services throughout North Carolina. Our services are subject to availability and applicable state laws.

## Notary Services

Our notary services are performed by commissioned North Carolina notary publics in accordance with NC General Statutes Chapter 10B. Key terms:

-   All signers must be present with valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification
-   Documents must be unsigned at the time of the notary appointment — signers must sign in the notary's presence
-   The notary may refuse to notarize a document if they have reason to believe the signer is not acting willingly, is not competent, or if the document is incomplete
-   Notarization fees are regulated by the State of North Carolina

## Apostille Processing

Apostille services involve submitting documents to the North Carolina Secretary of State for authentication. Turnaround times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Processing times are determined by the North Carolina Secretary of State and may change based on current demand, document requirements, submission method, and shipping. We are not responsible for delays caused by government agencies. For the most current processing-time information, visit the

## Fees and Payment

Fees for our services include notarization fees (as regulated by NC law), travel fees, and any applicable service-specific charges. A fee quote will be provided before your appointment. Payment is due upon completion of services.
