"With higher mortgage interest rates, he expects refinancings to collapse in 2014 to the lowest level in at least 15 years ...." Ouch!! Fasten your seatbelts everyone, it's gonna be a rough ride.

Yes, indeed. The number of notaries commissioned in California fell over by 100 this month so far. I imagine those who were required to be notaries at their jobs and no longer have those jobs let their commissions expire, then people who just don't care to jump through all the expensive hoops of maintaining their commission in CA.

A new notary entering this industry these days is in for a rude awakening as the compliance requirements are implemented and industry demand is lower.
