@Deborah_Notarizes Excellent question!
- It’s very IMPORTANT to perform your own due diligence PRIOR to “signing up,” providing W-9 Employer Identification Number [EIN] data, etc. Of course, you NEVER utilize your Social Security Number [SSN].
It’s easy and FREE to receive an EIN.
- For your own edification, ALWAYS research the immediately available data found within the Notary Cafe database on potential “new” (to you) clients BEFORE signing up, accepting a signing order, etc.
This information is a GOLDMINE!
Most members express that they find it difficult/NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of information available within the database.

I’ve performed a cursory Search on your behalf and the results show 16 separate threads (in addition to yours) about this particular topic. There are many other keywords to utilize for the Search, which you can try out. A plethora of data is immediately available on the threads within Notary Cafe.
