0 replies | Ninja Notaries Inc. - Experiences? | By Kellosh/CA on 10/2/25 2:06pm
Wanted to see if anyone has dealt with this agency before I block them from my profiles. I can't add this to the SSL list, because this company has no publically available physical address.
They reached out to me via phone to do a same-day signing. Reviewed the location, signing type, and time. I said I was available and was told to look for a IC contract in my inbox. Nothing unusual about that for working with an agency the first time. Before I received the contract, I got a notification that the signing had been assigned to me through SigningOrder. Unusual, but not unprecendented, but it flagged me to be cautious about why they'd want me to sign a contract directly with them that didn't go through SigningOrder. I made initial contact to the signer to confirm the appointment.
Looking at the contract, I noticed that it had no contact information. Their phone number is listed in several places and I had the email of course. There was an addendum to the contract that specifically addressed me as though I was a Colorado-based entity. I did not complete that as I'm not. They wrote back telling me I overlooked it, and I asked for clarification and confirmation that I needed to sign it, as I wasn't based in Colorado.
A few minutes, I received an email saying because they were based in Colorado, I had to sign the addendum. I was in another appointment at the moment and couldn't respond right away. A few minutes later, I received another email saying they were removing me from the signing.
Seemed really unprofessional to me, and having no address published anywhere reenforced that impression. All I could learn is that they're based in Denver.

2 replies | Public Announcement Notaries! | By Leslie Threadgill on 10/1/25 9:22am
I've been a NSA for 9 years. Started as a Part-Time NSA, as I quit my PT clock-in job $200 a week to $200 an hour, as a Notary Signing Agent.
Lately, Companies are low balling Notaries with 150 pages for $50. Notaries do not accept this fee. Counter at $125-$150 as this is the amount these companies are receiving payment or more then offering Notaries half the amount. This is unacceptable! I do not accept any jobs under $100. I counter those companies especially if documents are over 100 pages. I'll accept jobs for $50-$75, if 1-45 pages depending on the location.
If we don't accept these low fees then companies will increase the fee as Notaries are not accepting the low amount.
Do what you need to make your money but for me its a no.

7 replies | Pronouns & Plurals in CA Acknowledgments | By Erica Scandariato on 9/29/25 3:00pm
Hi! Has anyone in CA encountered Notary Acknowledgments where the lawyer who prepared the documents pre-selected the correct pronouns/plurals for the signer or signers and didn't include the other incorrect options? Is it okay to fill this out if all the other wording is correct?
Basically, what I'm asking is - are those extra pronouns and plurals considered part of the required statutory wording every time? Or, when the correct pronouns and plurals are selected, is it also okay to complete the certificate?

7 replies | Notaries Express LLC | By Carol Ann Horne on 9/28/25 9:35am
Has anyone done any signing for Notaries Express LLC. I did two Reverese Application signing in July and to date I have not been paid. The owner of he Company Kevin responded to my text and emails about 3 weeks ago saying the loan company pays slow but now its almost 90 days and he is not answering me. This is ridiculous. Plus I did the final signing for one of the application signings so it closed the beginning of September and I haventbeen paid for the application signing from July. These companies are terrible and I dont believe that the lender or title is not paying them.

4 replies | The Signing Service LLC-Ken George | By KaShayla Abraham on 9/26/25 10:20am
I have never posted before. I come on here to make sure that I am fully informed about the companies I lend my services to. So now I am here for you.
Please be aware of The Signing Service LLC or The Signing Services RRES as noted on Notary Dash.
I did a Limited POA on 6/19/2025; it is yet to be paid. I contacted Ken George. No response as of yet.
What looked good: It was in town, 15 min from me, and 1 page for $65.
He communicated as I did. No invoice needed. The check will be mailed to me as the informational video stated. I even asked: Should I send an invoice? I was told no. But I did. No response. I contacted him 3 days ago and I still have not had a response from Ken George.
I would not recommend this company. Decline, Decline, Decline!!!

I just saw a request from a signing service for an appointment. They are saying the title company is requesting a copy of the page of the journal showing the notarizations for the signing. This is the first I have ever seen of this, have you all seen that before?

5 replies | NNA, Find A NotaryPublic.com, NSA, background screening | By Jules on 9/10/25 1:27pm
I have been a member for many years. I noticed that I don’t show up in the search for Find a Notary any longer. I spoke with customer service and each of these is a separate membership fee. They were included as one of the benefits on being an NNA member. I was just informed that to be listed on Find a Notary.com is an additional $99 per year. Probably similar for the NSA membership that is usually bundled with the background screening.
I also see that when I renew the background screening it starts on the date processed and over the years I have lost a month each time I renew.
This organization is not to help us with our Notary business, but it actively just working at getting more money from us. No more. I will get my background screening from Sterling that Title Companies near me accept.

8 replies | No tax on tips for notaries?? | By JanetK_CA on 9/9/25 5:25pm
Anyone think there's any possibility that there will be a category notaries will fit into in order to qualify for "no tax on tips" (most likely in the GNW work arena)?
Here's a recent article I just saw on the topic: http://money.com/no-tax-on-tips-jobs-list/
Tips don't add up to much for me, but my credit card device (Square) automatically has a prompt for tips on the signature screen. I find it embarrassing and often tell them they can skip that (or I hit the 'no tip' button for them), but I do have a few business clients who choose to tip, even when paying cash.
Just curious...

3 replies | Numbers site gone? | By VT_Syrup on 9/9/25 8:15am
Has the numbers site gone away? I mention this not so much because of that site, but because Notary Rotary seems to be the last website hosting a notary forum. There used to be several.
I am aware there are discussions on Facebook about notaries, but I won't use Facebook for political reasons.

2 replies | Georgia closings performed in Florida | By RltrMike/FL on 9/8/25 9:02am
I’m often asked to do a Georgia closing in Florida. While most law offices comply with Florida regulations, some still only want me to use their simple signature and stamp format which as a Florida notary, I am not by law allowed to do. They will say, “Go ahead and add your acknowledgment but also sign and stamp ours. they could just toss the Florida acknowledgment and record using the Georgia doc with a Florida stamp and signature. Only the Florida acknowledgement or jurat is permitted if closed in Florida. If a buyer or seller was looking to contest any closing after the fact, an incorrect notarization is a good place to start.

9 replies | Any Advice for me | By  Jennifer Catanzarite on 9/2/25 2:19pm
I am registered in NY as a notary/signing agent but I noticed some of the sites I signed up for, is sending me work for NJ in which I would have to decline. Does anyone else see this or is it something I did that, thats why I keep getting NJ work. Also I live in a part of NY (Staten Island) that is closer to NJ then Manhattan or Brooklyn so is that the reason why?
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
I just started this business 2 months ago so I am relatively new at all of this.

1 replies | New Signing Agent/Notary Business New York Staten Island | By Jennifer Catanzarite on 8/30/25 7:02pm
Hey everyone. I quit my job as a paralegal of 14 years and decided to go into the mobile notary service / signing agent. I have been trying to find work as a signing agent for 2 months and I haven't had much luck. I am on signing order and notary dash. I was also contacted by the best notary.com as well but the 2 jobs I did have lined up the signer cancelled. Is there anything else I should be doing? Any websites? And any advice on any sites that I could use. I am currently using signing order, notary dash, snap docs, listed on signing agent & find a notary. com, I have a website too. I also signed up with ZigSig but I am not entirely sure how to use it. Any advice will be great.

13 replies | My email is blowing up with offers to refinance or sell | By Cheryl Elliott on 8/27/25 6:03pm
Well, I do have a little equity after 20 years sitting out here in the wilderness, just steps to the big cities. I've never increased my debt, only whittled away at it.
Suddenly everyone has a great offer to take out cash, yada yada. It has been a little busy lately but not like the old days. Since I don't work for companies who have slashed and hacked our fees to death, that leaves the companies who still have ethics and respect for what we do. They are offering $$$ fees, still not as brisk a business as it was in 2021. Mostly purchases, helocs, loan assumptions, etc.
I expect sometime this next month or so, things are going to begin to pick up. I'm ready, are all of you?

I wish that signing companies or title companies could hire a twelve year old to show them how to scan documents to a printable font. Like letter or legal size. They still scan some of the documents to other sizes that won't print right. Service Link for one.
