What made you decide that becoming a public official (i.e., a Notary Public) would be a profitable second source of income?
I only ask because there are many avenues of part-time work that are less risky (no need for insurance coverage for lawsuits if you make an error or notarize a fraudulent document) and less time consuming (bookkeeping records for your tax returns; i.e., you must pay income tax but can decide not to pay into Social Security [you aren't counting on SS when you retire]). For example, CT notaries are allowed to charge a Maximum of $5 per notarization and, if agreed to by the customer ahead of time, 35 cents per mile for travel. Most calls I get the person won't pay for travel, "I'll come to your home instead. I'm available after 8 pm tonight?"
Thank you for an answer. It's just I see SO MANY people jumping in thinking this is easy, fast, flexible time with a good NET profit income. Flexible time: Yes, but it is at the customer's flexible time, not yours. |
