@schultzeeyore Welcome to the forum.

There is a GOLDMINE of data immediately available to you for your absorption & benefit by performing a Search of the Notary Cafe database.

Many Notary Cafe members have commented over the years that it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Magnifying Glass to enable a Search of the Notary Cafe database.

A request has been submitted on numerous occasions [to BRIGHTEN the Magnifying Glass] over the years to the Notary Cafe Team Leads. That request has been reportedly passed onto the programmers of the site => that members find it difficult to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of info available within the database.

To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.

Here is a thread that I strongly recommend to aid you in these efforts:

Recommended notary fees

Dear Notaries, Now especially during corona, do you still want to take a $75 fee only to risk getting sick? Read below. For the past year or so, I made a vow to myself. Never take up low fees , reject those especially from the signing services and ask to be removed from them. After that I raised my fees and am pleased to see that I make a few 1000’s a month that was same loan closings. Below are my recommended fees Max Payment terms 15 days. NOT 30 / 45 days. I tell them upfront and ask for…

Notary Fee Schedule

Does anyone have a example of a fee schedule? I need a template.

Mobile Notary Fees

Newbie here. Of course my state has a maximum amount you can charge for a notary signature ($6). But what if you’re a mobile notary and you go to them? What do you charge and what radius do you travel and then when you log in your journal do you only log the $6 and the mobile fee is logged in a separate doc? Thanks.

NOTE: It’s always wise to research & vet a new client prior to providing a definitive confirmation to them for your initial Signing Order for them. A great start of research would begin within the Notary Cafe forums Search Function.

Accessing the database to locate info about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .
