Are you dual commissioned? Should you be?

Filed under: (5) State specific — admin @ 1:26 pm

Do you live near a state border? Not all states allow out of state notaries to become a notary in their state but some do. To the best of my knowledge here is a list of states that allow dual commissions, or at least where one of the pairs or multiples of states allows out of state notaries and where we list notaries with multiple commissions.

WA, OR,
WA, ID
ID, MT
MT, ND
KS, MO
NY, NJ
NJ, PA
NE, IA
TN, MS
FL, GA
GA, SC
RI, MA
DC, MD, VA
Possibly More…

Being dual commissioned might cost more. You will have to have two sets of stamps and perhaps journals. Two sets of bills. Two sets of many things.

123notary can list you in two states. However, there would be two listings, two sets of counties, and we hate it when people mix their list of counties between two states. But, two listings, means logging into two listings every 120 days, and perhaps double the business.

Additionally, being dual state is impressive. It means you are serious. Nobody fooling around will bother getting commissions in two or three states.

  1. I am dual commissioned and love it! I get a lot of business with having that other commission. I am also able to charge more.

  3. Montana allows us to do so in North Dakota or Idaho without getting notary commission in those states.

  4. Rai’s Mobile Notary claim to be commissioned in 50 states and have be in business about two years. Their reviews are not good. They charge $450 for mobile notary service and call notaries in other states.
    I do not think you should have multiple commissions leave that for the platforms like 123Notary
