I'm a notary first and I love love love to do general notarizations when I can (and it's not always only one notarization). It's a great supplement to the part-time signing agents income (and cash on the spot), and for newbies it's a good way to get experience doing short and sweet notarizations. I am reasonable with the travel fee but will not travel for free. I have also gotten repeat business from the single notarization including some loan docs. If I can't do it, or if they do not want to pay a travel fee, I always refer them to someplace (if they want to go there) or someone (if everyplace is closed and it's urgent) and my local UPS store's notary has benefited..(she told me). I'm not going to spend an hour driving back and forth across town for $10.00 - and most people understand that. I have subtracted those single notarizations from my monthly income to see what it would be like, and it really does make a significant difference to me.  |
