Why Choose Claudia Mitchell-McLeod as Your Notary & Wedding Officiant?

Notarizing a document or officiating a wedding isn’t just about following legal requirements—it’s about helping people during some of the most significant moments in their lives. And that’s what truly drives me.



I didn’t just become a notary or officiant to stamp papers or sign my name. I did it because I love helping people. I’ve worked in customer service, human resources, financial planning, and training for years, always finding joy in making someone’s life a little easier. I bring that same passion to every notary appointment and wedding ceremony.

Yes, I have the experience and professionalism you expect from a notary and officiant. I take my role seriously, ensuring every document is handled with care and confidentiality. I specialize in notarizing wills, power of attorney documents, VIN verifications, affidavits, and other essential legal documents. If you're wondering which documents you may need notarized, check out my blog post: The Top 5 Documents You Didn’t Know You Needed Notarized.. In addition, as a certified loan signing agent, I assist with mortgage closings, guiding clients through their loan documents with clarity and precision. I also provide apostille services, ensuring your documents are authenticated internationally. But beyond that, I understand that life happens—sometimes, you need things notarized urgently or a wedding officiant who can help make your day stress-free. I am here to help with a steady hand, a reassuring voice, and a commitment to getting it right.

I get it. You’re busy. That’s why I travel to you—whether it’s your home, office, hospital room, or another location. Need a weekend or after-hours notarization? I can do that. I’m available \\weekends, holidays, and select evenings\\ to fit your schedule. And if you prefer the ease of doing things digitally, I also offer \\remote online notarization (RON)\\ so you can get your documents notarized from anywhere in the world.

I’ve been fortunate to travel across the U.S., South and Central America, the Caribbean, and Europe. Traveling has shown me that while cultures and traditions may differ, one thing remains the same: people want to feel valued and respected. That’s exactly how I treat every client I meet. Whether you need a quick notarization or an officiant to craft a ceremony that reflects your love story, I approach every interaction with warmth and genuine care.

Marriage is about building a strong foundation that will stand the test of time. If you're preparing for marriage, you might enjoy reading my blog post, "Why a Strong Foundation Matters in Marriage."

I was married for over 25 years, and I believe marriage is a sacred commitment between a man and a woman—a lifelong journey of love, partnership, and devotion. That’s why officiating weddings is more than just saying a few words. Whether you’re planning a traditional ceremony, an elopement, a micro wedding, or even a simple sign-and-go, I will tailor the experience to suit your vision, whether it's a destination wedding or a local celebration. If you’re looking for an officiant who will honor your commitment, celebrate your love as a man and woman, and craft a ceremony that reflects your unique journey together, as an ordained officiant, I can perform weddings both in and out of the state, as local laws permit. I would be honored to be a part of your special day—including vow renewals- ensuring your special milestone is as meaningful as your wedding day.

I notarize various documents, including wills, power of attorney, VIN verifications, affidavits, and loan documents. I also provide apostille services for documents needing authentication for international use.

A micro wedding is an intimate celebration with a small guest list, typically under 50 people. An elopement is a private, often spontaneous ceremony with just the couple and an officiant. A sign-and-go ceremony is the most straightforward option—just the couple and witnesses for the legal signing, with no formal ceremony.
