I have been a Notary since 1999 in Louisiana. I wanted a part-time job to supplement my income. I worked at a full-time job and worked as a part-time tax preparer and I found that Notary work sometimes go hand-in-hand with preparing taxes. It is helping me serve my clients with documents that doesn't require a attorney. I am also a signing agent but only when time permits. I planning my second retirement as a tax preparer but will continue my notary work and commission.

I have held a Notary certificate in Colorado since 1995 but just became serious about 2 years ago. I began to offer notary services to previous clientele and local charity organizations for free in order to get my name out as a mobile notary. The phone has not stopped ringing and I now have repeat business from several individuals. I did not realize the enormous need for mobile notary services. No, this is not about the money but about providing critical services to people in need, sometimes in very stressful situations. This can be very rewarding, knowing you have helped a person or family when they needed support the most.

Ardel Richter

Many years ago, this was a good Profession that would supply a good full-time income. Now, due to higher interest rates and notary over-saturation due to constant advertising of no longer attainable income, it's more like being a migrant farm worker.

I became a Notary when I was a Real Estate Agent for 30 plus years. It went hand in hand with my Real Estate Business as well with people on my full-time job as a U.S. Postal Letter Carrier for 40 years with my Mail Patrons and Co-Workers. Now that I've been retired from both careers, I'm still known as a Notary to so many people I helped in the pass while still maintaining my notary license.
