I am often asked, "how can you make money as a notary if banks notarize for free?". There are a few different answers to the question, and it is in fact a fair question. 

While many banks do keep a notary on staff, it does not necessarily mean that it will be done at no fee. Banks typically require a client to be an account holder at the bank in order to notarize documents for them. Sometimes they may or may not charge a fee, sometimes the notary is unavailable or you may have to schedule an appointment. Banks also tend to only notarize certain types of documents or documents that they may be quite familiar with. At Notary Near Me and Online, we often notarize documents that a client states the bank will not notarize. Also, banks are only operational during regular business hours and not on holidays which is where we can differ.

Other locations such as a UPS store typically keeps a notary on staff, however if the notary calls in, they will not have a notary at that location that specific day. Like me, UPS also will charge a fee for notarial services which are typically less than my fee as the client is going to the location. As a mobile notary in the Lewisville area at Notary Near Me and Online we charge a fee for traveling to the client or a fee for utilizing a platform to take care of the notary service online. Often times documents that are needing a notary are time sensitive so a client may not be able to wait until the next day or for the notary to return. Just like banks UPS is only open during regular business hours and closed for holidays, which again is where we differ as well.

All too often there are notaries that may not have undergone the education to properly notarize documents resulting in time lost and having to get the document notarized again.  Notary Near Me and Online also  stands out as we are RON certified, meaning we can notarize documents from Texas online and the client can be literally anywhere. We are  also bonded, insured, as well as background checked. Having an annual background check is not required to be a notary, but is definitely something preferred by clients as we deal with sensitive information. You would not want a criminal to have access to your drivers license or sensitive identifying documents.

As, a certified Loan Signing Agent I am also capable of performing the closings on borrowers packages, sellers packages, reverse mortgages in addition to general notary work. These types of jobs are paid for a certain lump sum fee vs being paid for each signature and stamp. 

I hope this can help clarify how I can help you and where to go when the bank says "no" or UPS is closed! Call, text or email Notary Near Me and Online today.
