2 replies | Question regarding a GA property purchase. | By Teresa/FL on 8/7/26 3:01pm
I will be conducting a signing on Monday for a GA property purchase and was expecting to be told that an attorney would be calling in to speak to the buyer during the signing. I questioned this and was informed it is not a requirement for "mail away" closings. I was surprised by this response,
Has there been a change to the GA real estate laws in the past couple of years?

2 replies | Notary Gadget use | By Henry Thomas on 8/6/26 3:18pm
Hi everyone, I'm just a few weeks into the loan signing business and just finished my second signing. Both were direct from companies to my text. I was thinking of using Notary Gadget to track my signings and for invoices, etc. However I'm just concerned on how much information they want entered (PII) regarding the signers. All comments and advice welcome.

Has anyone fixed the issue? If I purchased a years subscription instead of using a free version, will this solve the problem?

13 replies | Problems printing with Adobe? | By SReis on 8/5/26 8:46am
Anyone else having problems printing large packages on Adobe? Literally out of nowhere I’ve been having serious issues where it will print one or two pages and then given an error message and say unable to print. I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. I’ve updated all my printer drivers. I did do a few searches to see if I could fix the issue and then came across a random Facebook Post where other notaries were talking about this. So curious if other people here are having an issue and if it has something to do with an Adobe update that apparently just took place.

5 replies | false representation | By Jerry Kryska on 8/4/26 12:34pm
hi everyone,
I rec’d a solicitation from an Ella Smith who says she represents Integrity Title & Closing LLC, but when looking at her email address it is a private email not one that would have this company included. I remember not long ago there was a scam where an individual was requesting notary to review docs and send an elite that contained malware. I think this is the same scam but with a variation to make it look more legitimate? Has anybody else gotten any evicted like this?

3 replies | Background Renewal Resources? | By Abigail Ferris on 8/4/26 11:29am
I've been noticing more Notaries who are dissatisfied with the NNA, particularly background reports. I tried ordering one from Fidelity, and got bounced from one off-shore call center to another... then, when I finally reached an American, she was clueless. Just lost in the tall grass. What alternatives to NNA are you using for your background renewal?

Two new things for notaries? to do. 1 is fingerprinting & the other is mobile drug testing . They figure that the 2 could be done simultaneously but I haven't seen any indication as to what it pays and it's kind of a detour from notary work but if it pays...

There used to be so many more people in this forum. I know some have passed , but not that many. There aren't even alot of the other forums anymore. I guess folks have taken to facebook. At least here, if there was misinformation it was challenged. On FB, the misinformation is passed on to unknowing notaries

for a signing. Located in St. Petersburg, I looked up her company and there are payment issues as well as low ball offers. When I clicked on the invitation prior, I received a warning that the email is suspicious and not to open.
Candice Lanier, owner, has an AOL email. I didn't know this email provider even existed any longer.

2 replies | New Jersey Notary Association | By Patrick Anthony on 7/28/26 3:33pm
Hello everyone!
I'd like to introduce the New Jersey Notary Association (NJNA). If you're a New Jersey notary looking for education, support, and a community of fellow professionals, we'd love to have you join us.
I'm Patrick Anthony, President of NJNA, and the author of Garden State Notary, a comprehensive guide to New Jersey notarial practice. I created NJNA with one goal in mind: to make high-quality education and professional support accessible without an expensive membership fee.
Our annual membership is just $35, which includes:
• A growing library of New Jersey-specific video courses
• Access to our member discussion forum
• Continuing education and professional development resources
• Timely updates on New Jersey notary laws and best practices
• A supportive community focused exclusively on New Jersey notaries
One thing that sets our community apart is the quality of the information shared. Questions posted by members are actively monitored and answered by trained New Jersey notary educators. Instead of sorting through conflicting opinions or advice from other states, you can have confidence that the answers you receive are based on New Jersey's laws, rules, and accepted notarial practices.
Whether you're brand new to the profession or have years of experience, our goal is to help you become a more knowledgeable and confident notary while keeping membership affordable for everyone.
If you're a New Jersey notary, we'd be honored to welcome you to our community.

11 replies | Signing Central has 964 Company Listings, 247 may be active | By Cheryl Elliott on 7/28/26 12:58pm
and 4 to 5-star companies. There are a bunch of UNAVAILABLE rated companies. Over time, companies have been acquired by bigger companies and no longer have name recognition. It would take a lot of time and effort to go through the list of the best companies to make sure they are still in business. It is a project, rather than waiting for the phone or SMS to see which companies are still offering assignments. It is doable if one wants to take the time. With all the platforms out there, the fees are so diluted, there is no profit in jumping at offers for chicken feed. That being said, we should find the value in SC because it has been around a long time. Members here have made many contributions and there is good stuff. Don't forget DEADBEAT SIGNINGS companies are memoralized on FB.
My question is, WHY? Fees are ridiculously low with these signing services. I was offered a refi with scan backs for $110, only 90 miles away. Nope cannot do, especially in this heat, price of gas, paper and toner. Not enthused or motivated.
Time to reegineer ourselves, folks. This is no longer an attractive side gig unless you're connected with the right players on the court. You have to have the right audience, not all these amateur services and platforms. Work for the right people.
