3 replies | Successful Signings | By yogisgirlCO on 4/18/25 12:03pm
Has anyone heard of or worked for Successful Signings? I just got offered a closing from them for a high price and I can't find them listed anywhere. I'm wondering if it's a scam...

4 replies | Notary Rotary support / lack of | By Kristen_OH on 4/16/25 1:35pm
I don't really post much but I have had a Premier listing on NotRot since 2006.
I have had issues for several years and never wanted to post, BUT . . . .
The last THREE times (prior to now) that I renewed my listing for the year it was a problem. Especially last year - it was multiple emails over several weeks with PLEASE and BEGGING in the emails near the end. Sam from customer support was the one who answered me on 4/15/24 with apologies and updated me that day. (I even wrote to Tracey at the time, not knowing she had retired. Six months later, I received a return email from her account explaining the retirement.
On 4/2/25 I paid again and received an automated message several days later about needing to pay. I wrote to customer support noting my payment and an anonymous person (Harry's name was still on the sig line) responded that I had NOT paid.
I have sent proof of payment twice but no response.
Anyone else?

2 replies | OCSP provider - x.509 digital certificate | By Notary In San Antonio - Director on 4/12/25 11:48am
Hello,
On the Texas SOS website for RON application, I have got the part where I need a digital certificate. The following steps are mentioned:
Step 1: Download the Statement of Officer.
Step 2: Sign it by using your x.509 digital certificate. The x.509 certificate must be in 'good' status with the OCSP provider.
Step 3: Save it to your computer.
Step 4: Upload the signed Statement of Officer. [....]
I have downloaded the Statement of Officer form, Step1.
I am stuck on Step 2. How do I get a the x.509 certified as 'good' by a OCSP provider?
Which OCSP would you suggest? I have obtained my digital seal. But how do I obtain my digital signature?
The NNA provide a 3-Year Basic Assurance Digital Certificate Voucher for $203. Is this what I need? Are there better/cheaper deals?
Thank you,
Nadeem

6 replies | Perfomed my first prison signing, it went well. | By Mills Mobile Notary Service on 4/9/25 5:05pm
I preformed my first prison signing last week. It went well but glad I wasn't pressed for time, and I will charge more next time, at least double a regular signing fee, due to time and work involved before the signing.
1. I had to talk to the prison's visitor coordinator and get approved for a professional visit, which involved completing a background investigation form. He emailed me the request, I completed the application and emailed it back. Finally got approved after 5 days. Then I went on-line to schedule a time for the professional visit. When the visit was confirmed, I got directions of where to enter the prison. This special background check is only good for one year here.
2. The inmate's soon-to-be ex-wife had sent the prison the documents, which was essentially a quit claim deed to a house the ex-wife got in a divorce decree, so just one document. I arrived on time, but the visitor coordinator had forgotten about my visit and I had to wait 30 minutes for him to escort me to the visitor center and another 15 for the inmate to show up.
3. Inmate was very friendly, not restrained in any way, but didn't speak English. The coordinator acted as his interpreter which I wasn't expecting. We met in large room but were just 3 of us in it. He had picture prison ID hanging around his neck, which is an approved ID according to the Oregon SOS. The signing went fast and only took 10 or 15 minutes.
4. However, this signing did take a full week to approved and scheduled, plus about an hour and half to do perform to delays the day of the signing. The inmate was not a violent offender, but was apparently from the court documents, was a serial sex offender. His initial arrest was 15 counts of 1st degree sexual abuse, which in Oregon means the victim was less than 14 years of age. The inmate was 51 years old.
Finally, I want to warn other notaries that every prison is different so it pays to learn their processes for these types of visits before accepting. I felt safe the whole time, but was warned with signs and verbally that there was a risk of prison riot and being taken hostage, but that hasn't happened ever at this prison. This prison is only for low and medium security risk inmates. Also, there is a BIG difference between state prison like this one, and a local county jail that have bigger mix of potential inmates.
Good luck.

4 replies | Can you beat this low ball offer? | By Colonel/IA on 4/3/25 9:14am
I received a text to do a closing which required four hours of driving then add an hour for printing documents and doing the closing. They offered a fee of $30. That's $6.00 an hour. The minimum pay in Iowa is $7.25 an hour. That's why I stopped doing closings.

10 replies | Whats Your Response | By pdl/cali on 4/2/25 8:01pm
What is your response when you are asked, "How is your notary business doing?" Or how do you respond when people say " I think I'm going to take up the notary business, it seems easy. I know allot of notaries are asked these questions, I tell them straight to their face..... Knock your socks off....They usually do not have relationships with the movers and shakers in this industry.

13 replies | Ganser Mobile Notary, Rancho Cucamonga, CA | By Sooz on 3/31/25 8:52pm
I have a question: I completed two closings for this person on January 9. Although I invoiced Ms. Ganser and sent correspondence, when payment was already past due, she contacted me asking to receive payment via Zelle, Paypal or Venmo. NOTHING was said at the time I was contracted that she only does payment via those channels. Had she done so, I would have declined the assignment. I am curious as to your experience with Ganser Mobile Notary and also how many of you like to receive payment in that fashion.

2 replies | 2024 Federal Taxes | By JerryhFL on 3/29/25 7:02am
I am late starting my tax returns, however I do have a question. Being self employed can you still adjust your income
on the SE Form by subtracting your total amount of your stamped documents, assuming you keep track of the total number of stamps.
An example, my total income is $30.00 and the total stamped documents is $20.00 giving an adjusted income of $10.00
My question is can you still deduct the total of the stamped documents?

16 replies | Good old days and the end of the road | By Colonel/IA on 3/28/25 1:14pm
I started doing closings in 2006. No printing documents back then the documents were shipped to you via FedEx or UPS. I can remember twice doing ten closings in one day. I knew mortgage interest rates would not stay 3% forever but I was surprised at how long they remained that low. Now business is very slow I am finished doing closings. It was a good run. Best of luck to all of you who are still doing closings.
