How to Start, Run & Grow a Part-Time Notary Public & Loan Signing Agent Business: DIY Startup Guide for All 50 States & DC

By: Richard Bailey

Narrated by: Gary Crane PicturesForYourEars

If you can work two to three hours a day and bring home around 50K/year, would you consider that to be a good side business? If so, would you want to give that a try? Let me explain how.

The profession of notary signing agent is becoming more and more popular lately simply because there are more transactions and loans being approved via online and from companies across the country. Even until ten years ago, if you wanted to get a loan, you would apply at your local banks, but not anymore, you can apply online to various online banks and lending institutions who offer better terms and rates than most of your typical local banks.

But anytime there is a loan closing where the lending institution does not have a local office; they call on local loan signing agents who are also a notary public. The job of the notary/loan signing agent is to meet with the applicants in person, and have them sign and notarize their loan closing documents then send the documents back to the lender.

A typical loan signing can take around an hour to an hour and a half and the compensation ranges from $100-$200 for each closing.

Since all Notary signing agents are also Notary public by default, you can also offer your notary service to your local community and pick some extra income. If you had to notarize any documents lately, then you know a typical notary charges between $10- $25 to notarize a document.

Best of all, you don’t have to give up your full-time job or business to start this business. You can always offer your services just in the evenings and weekends and only when you are not busy doing things with your family.

Lets’ say you only offer your services on the weekend and do about two closings a week which is around four hours of work. You can make anywhere from $200-$400 each week. Let’s say you make the average of $300 a week that would mean you are making $1,200 extra each month which is $14,400 per year. Tell me isn’t that a great side income to have?

Too much time spent on specific state’s laws.

I need to know how to get my business going and this is why I bought this audible.
The first chapter was great going through what and how to to get connections and other certification to make my business more profitable!

Basic and quick information

The narrator was great. Basic information on Notary and Notary Signing Agent that I already knew. Good refresher information. Enjoyed section on other side jobs Notaries can do and the information on where to sign up for NSA jobs was helpful.

Not very helpful

Short and obvious information that can get on YouTube free. I suggest you save your money.

Wasn't About Growing a Notary Business

I hated the moderator. Also, the information in this book can easily be found doing a internet search. Everything is this book I already knew. Was not helpful at all. Didn't need to know the requirements for every State. Awful.

Best 5 bucks I've spent in a long time.

I've listened to this book several times and took notes. Great read! If the author expands more in a future book ...I'd purchase it.

Informative for all states

This was great and easy to follow. Gave other options to supplement income besides notary business..

One chapter book

One chapter of good information. Second chapter is a waste of time. Should refer people to their own individual state for that information. 60 minutes spent on each individual states requirements.

There’s some much good information, I really learned a lot.

Excellent, well written. Contains pertinent information for every notary. This book is a must read for notaries looking to start their own small business.

Two Thumbs Down

Not helpful at all. The book offered VERY basic information. Disappointed with the content of the book.

extremely basic

narrator was painful to listen to, It was being performed as if it were a drama novel, not at educational book
