Just wondering.....

When you search for a notary based on zip code lets say, you will see the first 25 premier members then you will see the first 25 basic members. At the top of the page it tells you how many members there are. What happens to the other 1325 you don't see. And if they are basic members how do you see their profile? Any thoughts.

I also wondered something else when I went to the Search to see what you are saying. When I go to find a Notary and punch in my zip code, my name is shown as the second one on the Premier List.

But then there's a map at the top of the page, with red dots on it, I guess to show where the notaries are located. There are two names implanted on the map and they are both notaries listed in the Basic list. When I click on "update map" or whatever it says, it just still has two Basic members names.

Why is that Harry?

That is a function of how the map works. It is set up to not allow the overlapping of names. The names it displays are somewhat arbitrary. (That is, it decides what names it displays based on where the dots are.) The names will separate as you drill into the map and more will appear.

Thank you Harry, I also noticed listings are not alpha. Are listings based on first come first serve?

Harry drilling into the map doesn't change the notary listings. It still shows only the first 25 of each zip code or city area. How do you access additional listings? Even expanding the zip code area retains the same first 25 notaries of each category.

Re: Just wondering.....Hummmm interesting never thought

about that......since my last name begins with an A and premier, I'm kind of up there at the top...great question but maybe not for some. I know I have a friend, her last name begins with a Q, she has never been called in 2 years, sad huh?

When I search for a notary, it shows only a partial listing of the notaries in the area and I search within 75 miles. I've tried clicking on the map in different areas but still, the same notaries appear in the premier as well as the basic members' sections. I too am curious as to find out who the other notaries are within a given zip code. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Susan

Thanks Lee/AR. I just tried that too but still see only the same group of notaries. Thank you though for your response!
