Hi New Notary

Read and keep a copy of the notary reference manual.

Read this forum, and learn to use the search feature of this forum for any newbie questions.

read read read and read some more. Take a training course for Notary Basics. NotaryRotary is a GREAT source of information. If you want to become an NSA then your must READ ALOT more..get the training and READ more! I cant stress it enough-no one just becomes an NSA overnight-you must FIRST master the elements of being a Notary Public. Good luck and dont be discouraged...

I agree with Laurily. Reading is one of your best tools, read all that you can, take a few courses, read some more and most of all, when you make a mistake, own up to it, go back, fix it and move one but always learn from that mistake.

I've started reading the forums almost on a daily basis. There is a lot of useful information here. And many notaries are more than happy to answer questions or guide you in the right direction.

Good luck and have a great time meeting new people!

My advice would be to change your forum name to something more professional than "bigmommy"
