Mobile Notaries are self-employed business people who work for themselves and provide a vital service to their
community. Not only do they provide a
vital service required in any economy that depends on commerce and free
trade. This is an ancient concept and
there are certain documents, which are not valid without a notary's seal of
approval.
History lesson
The ancient Egyptians and Greeks employed notaries in Biblical
times. Latin 'SCRIBAE'
- these clerks or scribes who took notes and minutes of important meetings,
events, and decisions from the ruling authority. They also made copies of both Public and Private documents. The Notary Public is a quintessential
ancient officer whose principal duty it was to witness the signing of important
documents and to administer oaths.
This create and opportunity for you to start a business that is easy to operate, low overhead and start-up cost, flexible hours and you get to meet lots of people. Being a notary is also a great part-time opportunity for someone

Being a notary
public is a great career choice for many individuals and in most cases can
advance your career development, as it gives you an additional skill set and
the opportunity to earn some extra income to pursue your ambitions.
There are certain
fundamental skills you will need to learn and acquire to be effective and
successful while not exposing yourself to undue liability or risks.
First you will have
to become familiar with the process and procedure for becoming a notary in your
local jurisdiction. It is different
everywhere, you need to check your specific rule but contacting the authorizing
department. If you want to link to your
state's official notary authority website, click here.
As you work
thorough the process to become a notary public, become familiar with what a
notary is and the duties to be performed in your state by a notary. Rules are different from locality to
locality. Discover how documents are to
be correctly notarized. This is also a
perfect time to start brushing up on your people skills. You'll need them!
Once you get your
license or commission, it will be time to go to work. I strongly suggest you find a mentor for the first 3 to 6 months
in the business. It might cost you a
few buck, but it can be the best investment you make in your career. I strongly prefer this approach to any class
you can take. It can have a lasting
effect and you will have at least one friend in the business when you're
finished.
Mentorship will
give practical insight in dealing with unusual situations, controlling the
appointment, opportunities as a loan signing agent, how to locate clients,
vocabulary, setting your fees, running your business, and much more. Expect to pay about $300 for a good mentor,
who gives you quality one on one time.
If you add Loan
Signing Agent to your resume, it is reasonable to work 10 hours per week, and
charge an average of $150 per appointment; you would earn approximately $50,000
per year. There are few other opportunities that allow you to earn that much so
quickly. A Loan Signing Agent is simply
a Notary Public who has specialized training and is familiar with common legal
documents, and in the presentation and notarization of mortgage loan documents.
Getting a notary
commission is relatively simple and easy, but building a truly successful
notary practice will take some time and specific actions, to be realized. It's actually a very easy and fun business
as long as you know what is expected of you, you deal in integrity and don't
waste your valuable time on marketing that yield zero results.
