As a beginner Notary, you need a fast way to get the knowledge you need, get your name out there, get business, and not get in trouble. We make this possible at 123notary.com. There will be some study time required but you can do it. Here is what we recommend.
EDUCATION
Before you get started as a Mobile Notary, you really need to know the ropes. You need to know how to do Notary work, and then how to handle Mobile Notary and Loan Signing jobs. We have free and paid courses that can help you with this. Notary Public 101 on our blog teaches the basics of Notary work and our 30 Point Course goes over loan signing. See our Loan Signing Courses page on our site for more comprehensive paid signing agent courses. We recommend you pass our signing agent test by phone as well. Skimming over the materials isn’t good enough. You need to know your craft inside out because you can get into legal trouble if you make mistakes handling situations and requests! Additionally, you need to know your state laws and we do not teach state laws — only generally prudent practices.

GETTING YOUR NAME OUT THERE
We have a list of loan signing companies that hire beginners. They pay less and micromanage a lot more, but that is how it is when you hire beginners. We also recommend talking to local title companies, real estate companies, Attorneys, Bail Bonds places, convalescent homes and giving them your card or contact information.
