San Diego City Notary has launched a new branch in Chula Vista, aiming to bring a suite of document services closer to South Bay residents and employers. The office at 310 Third Avenue, Suite A3, opened to the public on July 13, 2026, and will handle notary work, apostilles, certified translation and Live Scan fingerprinting, among other services.
What the new office offers
The Chula Vista location is presented as an effort to reduce travel time for customers who previously needed to go farther into San Diego County for these services. Company materials list these core services:
- Notary Public services
- California apostille processing
- Federal apostille assistance
- Certified document translation
- Live Scan fingerprinting
"Our goal has always been to make important document services as simple and accessible as possible," said Emil of San Diego City Notary.
Service details and limits
While the Chula Vista branch offers many of the company’s most requested services, the business says some specialized functions remain centralized. DMV-related services and mobile notary appointments continue to be provided exclusively from the company's Kearny Mesa office.
| Service | Available at Chula Vista |
|---|---|
| Notary Public | Yes |
| Apostille (State & Federal) | Yes |
| Certified Translation | Yes |
| Live Scan Fingerprinting | Yes |
| DMV services | No (Kearny Mesa) |
| Mobile Notary | No (Kearny Mesa) |
Local reach and implications
The company listed communities it intends to serve from the new office, naming neighborhoods and nearby cities across South Bay: Bonita, Eastlake, Otay Ranch, National City, Imperial Beach, San Ysidro and surrounding areas of Chula Vista. For residents and small businesses that regularly need notarizations, apostilles for international documents or fingerprinting for employment and licensing, the closer location could mean faster turnaround and lower travel costs.
San Diego City Notary has operated in the county since 2002. The new Chula Vista branch represents a local expansion rather than a relocation of core operations; the firm says it will retain specialized services at its Kearny Mesa hub while offering the majority of routine and frequently requested services in the South Bay.
Customers seeking the new office’s services can visit the Third Avenue location in downtown Chula Vista. The company’s statement does not include specific hours or appointment protocols for the Chula Vista site; prospective clients should contact the office directly or consult the company’s website for scheduling and fee information.
