Becoming a multi-state notary?

Wondering if anyone has experience in becoming a notary in more than one state...

Should I consider getting my commissions through a notary clearinghouse site like http://www.NotaryofAmerica.com or NationalNotary? Do these sites let you handle everything through one interface?

Any bright ideas?

Thanks,

Raymond

I'm a notary in three states. I only practice in 2 because I'm still trying to get my Title Producers lic. in MD. But I'm in VA, WV and MD. I haven't seen this site, I'll check it out and let you know what I think.

Competition for Notary Rotary

Raymond, good luck. Just be aware that NotaryofAmerica is a site that links you to an American Safety Council site for Noataries (I too am an affiliate). It is competition for Notary Rotary. If you want to become a Notary in more then one site: Click on the link above that says Notary Public 101.

Thanks, Jax.

I don't mean to upset the good folks here at NotaryRotary... I had been doing some research on the various ways to get commissioned in multiple states and was simply wondering if it made more sense to use individual state sign-ups or to use a comprehensive site handling multiple states.

Are there advantages to using a multi-state site over individual states? Disadvantages?

How do the affiliate issues work? Does an "affiliate" have something to do with multi-state laws? Or do you mean reseller?

Thanks!

Certain states/commonwealths do not allow you to have multiple Notary commissions.

Massachusetts is one of them. I pretty sure there are others that restrict one's ability to have multiple commissions.
