Altho' AR has allowed e-notaries for a couple of years, few have taken the plunge. And out of those, fewer still have gotten on board with one of the 4 companies allowed. Of those 4 companies that AR allows, only ONE openly states the fee a notary must pay for their 'platform'. That is $10/mo/annually or $15/mo. on a month-to-month basis. It's unclear if one can pay this month, skip a few and then pay the $15 again--or what. Also seems that each co. has their own 'preferred hardware & software'. I honestly can't see where an independent notary stands a chance. Just too costly and unknown, so I agree with Linda. |
