Colorado Springs Mobile Notary - Leon Austin

Most of the requests that I get to notarize foreign language documents are for German documents, since German is the language that I know.This morning I got a call from a Russian man, asking if I would notarize his signature for a Russian document. Of course. When I got there he showed me the doc...

It's a situation that every notary signing agent has been in. You're driving in your car, perhaps on your way to a closing, and you get a call on your cell phone.  The caller has some information for you that you want to write down.

But I'm 24/7, and I'm a notary, so I agreed to do it.When I got there the man appreciated it very much. He said he call...

I do a lot of closings for a lender who sends the documents to the borrower by overnight courier. Everything has to go into that one envelope: the original documents, the borrower's copies, and the return envelope. Not much room for a classy looking folder for the borrower to keep their copies.

I got a call yesterday to do a closing in Canon City on Friday. I was in my car, and on my way to a closing, so I wasn't able to determine exactly where the address was located. I told the company that it's about 50 miles away, and that I'd have to charge extra for travel. They were aware of the ...
