A notary emergency involves time-sensitive documents that cannot wait for regular business hours. Common emergencies include: hospital patients needing power of attorney or healthcare directives before surgery, real estate closing deadlines falling on weekends, legal court filing deadlines approaching after hours, immigration documents with strict deadlines, business contracts requiring immediate execution, and estate planning documents needed urgently due to declining mental capacity. If waiting until the next business day could result in financial loss, legal consequences, or missed opportunities, it qualifies as an emergency.

No, hospital social workers in Las Vegas cannot notarize documents unless they are separately commissioned as Nevada notaries, which most are not. Social workers are trained in patient advocacy and discharge planning, not notary law. Even if a social worker has a notary commission, they typically cannot provide notary services during their hospital duties due to liability and conflict of interest concerns. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides professional hospital bedside notarization at all major Las Vegas hospitals when social workers and hospital staff cannot help with document notarization needs.
