Notary Acceptor

I was asked to be a Notary Acceptor for an individual. The most recent post I can find is from 2006. I'm trying to find more information before I meet with this person. TIA

Yoli!! Who cares if it seems like advertisement? That's why (sort of), we're here-- to advertise!! Besides, we want to glean all the knowledge we can!!

Along the same lines as Notarial Protest, no?

Just different words for different states.

Presentment, not protest. PAW - want to explain?

Notary presentment work is allowed in only around 5 states and the only way to get steady work is by referral. You have to be very hooked into the various underground communities practicing

Sometimes I get calls for it and I have to refer them to a gal on the East Coast that I know is good at it.

Notary protest work is a far easier process than presentment work and is permitted in many states.

Maybe PAW will describe presentment honor/dishonor work and how it differs from protest work. I can't do it succinctly.

Although it is not specifically cited in notary regs, many states neverless sanction notaries doing the work. Repeat activity (even only once after a first sanction) could mean losing a commission and never being permitted to get one again.

Re: Presentment slightly differs from Acceptor

The following link explains the procedure (and may be considered advertising, which is not my intent as I have no connection to listed entity) and differences:

Please inquire at your local SOS for any restrictions.

JMHO

Re: Presentment, not protest. PAW - want to explain?

I'm not very familiar with acceptor services, presentments or protests since they are not authorized duties of a notary commissioned in Florida. In that respect, I yield to Pennsylvania Notaries Public as I do believe they are authorized to perform those duties.
