mobile notary gets paid $60-85 for a loan package after you print 100 pages and drive to person signing. Good money?

One of our admin assistants had one, the company pays for it and yes, she had a lot of people using her service for free or next to nothing.

People that charge for notary public services are generally very poor.

The test in LA is pretty tough. Some states only require you to be a registered voter.
You don’t even have to be a resident in AR. Just put up a small bond and you’re good to go.

Used to see Notaries telling attorneys that it wasn't fair that all they had to do was pass the Bar Exam to be a notary.
Obviously the pool of applicants is a little different, but the Bar pass rate is like 7-10x higher than the notary exam.
It was legitimately easier to get into Harvard than it was to pass the notary exam in 2010.

Be one in a foreign country. My dad was in Zagreb and had to sign two papers and have two American witnesses. Cost him over $200, at the embassy.

I took the test at 19 when Louisiana started talking about only allowing Lawyers to notarize documents.
I got a book from someone who had recently taken a class, and I studied the monday afternoon of the test during a Biology class. It isn't all common sense, but it certainly isn't hard.

When I was a kid I thought people were saying "I have to go to the Noda Republic" It wasn't until 7th grade geography that I learned Noda Republic is not an actual country.

LA notaries used to be responsible for verifying they were acknowledging a legal instrument. I think now all they are required to do is to verify the identity of the individual who is executing the document.

I'm not sure when 19 was for you, but starting in 2012, Louisiana allowed people to take only a specific section of the test to become notaries for their line of work only. They're not granted the full powers of a Notary Public in the state, but it gets the job done for work purposes.

I'm a Notary, price all depends on if its a strictly business deal ($25) or just for a friend (free). I think that it's worth it, not because you will make a living off of charging $20 a pop to notarize papers, but it's a really good thing to have on your resume if you are applying to any upper level companies. An in house notary goes a long way if you need documents steadily notarized. I've heard that the test has gotten a lot more difficult though.

I would give my left nut (it's the one I always sit on) to have been 19 in 2012

Yes, I haven't done any notary work since 1987, but my commission is for life. Never charged anything for notarizing documents, it was just part of my law practice.

IIRC there are 2 notary levels in LA. One is statewide and the other is limited to the congressional district in which you reside.

I am. It's useful and I only charge if it's going to be a pain in the arse. If I'm notarizing something for someone I know, I just tell them to buy me a drink next time I see them out.

My credit union does it for free. I don't know why people seek out individuals and pay them money for it.
