@rosalyng4 As I often express on the Notary Cafe forum:
-
Always employ critical thinking skills
-
Make decisions from a business owner viewpoint (not an employee)
-
Research & follow the Regulations & Statues within your own State for owning, launching, & operating a business
-
Utilize your individual State Notarial Handbook for insights & guidance for establishment of a foundational baseline to operate from for your business decisions
-
Undergo a reputable professional training program; i.e., Notary2Pro
-
Review the Signing Order [SO] instructions in detail prior to reaching out to the hiring entity for clarifications
-
Seek out the guidance & support of fellow business owners via a reliable & professional online format; i.e., Notary Cafe
GENERAL DECISION GUIDELINE:
-
Employ critical thinking skills.
-
Consider the source
-
Evaluate the potential ulterior motive
-
Trust your instincts
