2 replies | An AI first for me | By JanetK_CA on 9/4/26 3:34pm
I just called a borrower to confirm a signing appointment for next week and the call was answered by an AI receptionist/auto attendant (or whatever they're calling that now). It actually went better than I initially expected. I was able to give a detailed message that didn't get twisted in the process. We'll see how well it works to get a response...  BTW, there was even a prompt for when would be a good time for him to call me back. Loved that!

0 replies | T-mobile update 9/3/2026 | By  Yoli/CA on 9/3/26 11:17am
When accessing my phone early this morning, I noticed there was an update available. I allowed it.
About 3 hours later, I tried opening some apps that normally send me blast offers. No can do. Kept getting error messages telling me my access codes were incorrect. I turned my phone off for a couple of minutes then back on. Tried again. This time, I was informed there was no internet service. Checked my settings and sure enough! WiFi was turned off. Turned it on and them I was able to login to all those apps plus some texts came in.
Don't know if this was caused by the update this morning. But, that was the only difference in my usual routine. Anyway, all this to say, if your phones have been kinda quiet this morning, check your settings.

8 replies | UPS Shipping Supplies | By LarryNY on 9/3/26 9:18am
Yesterday I tried ordering shipping supplies from UPS with my account number and got a message back that said that this account is not allowed to order supplies. I contacted customer service and they told me that unless you bill some minimum amount to the account you cannot order free supplies. I explained the nature of our business model such that labels are supplied by our customers, but we need to supply the envelopes to ship them back, thus we do quite a bit of shipping with UPS, just not billed to our account. He told me that this was a recent directive from management, that he understood the dilemma and would escalate the issue.
Has anyone else faced this problem and how did you get supplies? This may seriously impact our business with UPS unless you have a good client who will order supplies for you.

3 replies | Steps for new NSA | By Elizabeth Mcfarland on 8/30/26 2:48pm
Hi All, wondering if you could give me some advice/direction on how to get signings. I recently retired and have achieved my PA Notary License and Signing Agent Certification, so I have the time and the education. What websites should I use to promote my services? Would you reach out directly to title companies to introduce yourself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

6 replies | The TC Benefited From Your Work — They're On the Hook Too | By LKT/CA on 8/29/26 3:16pm
Time to take your past due invoices to the TC. For years I used to hear this waved off as 'not the TC's problem' — now that I have an insurance license myself, I can say that's not accurate.
Title companies are licensed and regulated at the state level, and part of holding that license is meeting ethical standards as an ongoing condition of licensure — it's not optional or aspirational, it's baked into what the Department of Insurance expects of them. Ethics is a core requirement of that license — most agents complete dedicated continuing education hours on it.
So if a TC says 'it's not our problem, contact the signing service,' elevate it: file a complaint with the Department of Insurance where the TC is licensed. A formal complaint puts them on the hook in a way an individual notary chasing payment can't.
The TC can't just wash their hands because they paid the signing service. They benefited from the notarized work — the signing got done, the loan closed, the file moved forward — and that benefit came through a vendor they chose to hire. If that signing service has a pattern of not paying notaries, the TC's continued use of them, and their refusal to intervene once it's brought to their attention, is the TC turning a blind eye to something happening under their own licensed umbrella.
That's exactly what a Department of Insurance complaint is for. It's not a stretch or an escalation for its own sake — it's asking the regulator to look at whether the TC is meeting the standard they're already supposed to be held to.
If more LSAs did this, it would get harder for deadbeat signing services to stay in business. The ones who actually pay would keep getting work, the deadbeats who close up shop and reopen under a new name would have a harder time doing it, and even newer agents would learn to approach them cautiously.

9 replies | Help! I need to get a new stamp for work on Monday | By Gabrielle Martin on 8/29/26 7:09am
I ordered my new stamp from the NNA on August 11. I have been calling them for the last week to see where my stamp is, after several phone calls, waiting on hold for hours at a time only to find out they don’t know when it’s going to be done and then was told that they manufactured the wrong stamp and now as of yesterday still have no idea where my stamp is. I’m supposed to work on Monday and I have no stamp with my New commission expiration date. I’m will be missing of money every day because of this, does anyone know where I can get a stamp ASAP?

7 replies | UPS notary overflow | By Cheryl Elliott on 8/28/26 7:52am
Yesterday I had several GNW appointments in town and had one DOT to drop at UPS. While I was waiting for my receipt, I overheard a husband and wife arguing with a clerk that they had an appr with the staff notary because the notary went to lunch for an hour.
The couple walked outside grumbling and discussing what to do next.
I am a notary. Can I assist you? Their faces lit up. We walked to a nest of tables and I began to look at their documents for Wells Fargo certifying they own their home vesting is in a family trust for a line of credit.
Sweetest people. Turns out he is a Rabbi and they are headed back to Israel next Tuesday where they live 4 months a year. He was a Rabbi in Ojai at a Jewish Temple in the 80s. I was raised in IOai. We had an immediate bond. I notarized a total of 6 dignatures. I did not charge the couple more than the store since it was happenstance. I also made a new client. They are coming back in January to begin construction on an ADU.
Some times we are in the right place at the right time.

2 replies | Internet speed | By Roadie_MD on 8/27/26 3:45pm
What speed internet do you all use? I am shopping for new service and I feel like we jump to the '1 gig' speed which costs more and we may not really need it.
It's just my husband and me using our phones and laptops and watching TV. And, off course, downloading document packages. No gaming or anything like that.

Has anyone been contacted for services other than notaries? I keep getting calls from people that want me to do video tapings of properties or walk throughs. I just changed my profile to read that I only provide notary services. These calls are from people seeing me on Notary Rotary. What has your experience been?

2 replies | What's the deal with Notary Pin, Inc? | By JanetK_CA on 8/21/26 4:39pm
I don't know where they got my info (although, it's certainly not hidden), but I've been getting occasional offers from them (if you can call them that...) over the past several months. I have security screening on my email address, which has been putting those emails directly into 'quarantine', but I'm still getting texts from them.
Their fees are ridiculous, so I've never given it much thought, but now I'm trying to decide if I should just block them altogether. Anyone know if they're a new directory or just another new signing service offering insulting fees?
