Record # of Notarizations in a package for me

13 and there was another that they borrowers didn't sign as it didn't apply to them. What is your record?

Re: Are you sitting down?...

28 for me. But it was a 1st & 2nd, AND all of the pages were shrunken down (the way they were scanned). The spaces to write in were so small.

AND they never told me it was a 1st & 2nd, until printing. I did get my fee, but would have charged more if I knew it would be 28 notarizations!

Why would you charge more for 28 or more notarizations?

I charge by the job, not the details of the job. I often see where people want to charge more for an "excessive" amount of notarizations, etc. The inverse would be do you charge less for a CW that at most has 5 notarizations?

Job vs Notarizations

I charge by the job as well, I was just making comment that I had had 18 in one package. My fee would have been the same if there had been 36 or more.

According to my records - 30 documents, 52 signatures

But that was a CEMA piggybacked with an HECL, and with 4 original copies of everything. The stack of papers was over 6" high (docs to borrower, thankfully), and we had to take a break because the borrowers were starting to get writer's cramp.... It took us over an hour to wade through all of that paper, and at the end they were just signing whatever I put in front of them. I was paid more than double my usual fee, but that was because of the distance traveled and the second package - it had nothing to do with the number of notarizations.

Other packages for the same client usually ran to about 20 docs requiring notarization, anywhere from 20 to 40 signatures. Client was a law firm that wanted 4 originals of everything; I was just happy not to have to print the docs... They paid well, but work dried up once the sub-prime market blew up.
