I agree an "additional" background check is not necessary in CA, but I do mostly general notary work as well. I work with a lot of attorneys who totally understand the law in California for licensed notaries. However, I have also done loan signings for escrow, title and signing agencies, and have never been asked for one! Since I just renewed, and my background check will be "brand new", what's the argument in favor of another one??
That said, I also agree spending only $65 a year in business expense is very reasonable, especially if it is recovered in business income. I easily spend that with my different memberships, including my local Chamber of Commerce. It's just the principal of paying for the same thing twice that's annoying... |
