"You new Notaries and ones that think “I can make a quick buck by lowering my fees” need to read AND understand the documents that you are notarizing."
Uhmm.... no, that's not at all true. In CA (and I see that's where you are) it's very clear that we are NOT responsible for the content of the documents.
Lets' take our ability to notarize signatures on a document in a foreign language. We are not expected to deal with the document at all, just be able to identify the general nature of it.
What signing companies don't realize is that (in CA) we can charge up to $10 per signature notarized. I don't know about you all, but on a typical re-fi for a couple, that's 16-20 signatures. So the notary fees alone are at least $160.00. |
