How much money can you make and how do you make money as a Remote Online Notary seems to be the big question this year?

As a Notary Public, you can charge the public for doing notarizations, the fees you charge vary and are based on the state you are commissioned in.

However, the notary may charge additional fees based on the guide of the state you are commissioned in. For example in the state of Washington, a notary can charge up to $25.00 for general notary work, when processing a notarization online, plus an additional fee for the cost of the platform and any additional fees for your time.

***Please note that State Guidelines for Remote Online Notarizations state the following: “additional fees may be charged by the notary as long as the public and/or the signer is made aware of and agrees to the charges”.

In the same example when notarizing a Loan Document a notary can earn from $75.0 up to$200.00 a signing because the paperwork is significantly more, so the earning potential is also more.

This really all depends on how much time you’re willing to put into your business.

Remember that as a Notary Public you are an independent contractor, you can create your own hours and determine how much you are willing to make on a day-to-day basis or weekly basis.

Being a Remote Online Notary is for individuals that are (a) Detailed oriented (b) Like to interact with people, and have great customer service (c) Must be good with technology, and (d) Must know your state laws; it’s important, that you know what you can legally notarize and what you cannot legally notarize as a Remote Online Notary.

If you have these qualifications, being a Remote Online Notary will be a great fit.

Here are some last tips to keep in mind when deciding if being a Remote Online Notary is something you would like to pursue:

1. How to market yourself and generate business

2. What your schedule will look like

3. If you’re just going to do Loan Signing or just General Notary Work

4. You MUST know your state laws.

While the notary process is fairly simple, there are huge legal implications if you make a mistake. A notary can potentially be caught in a lawsuit and/or can lose their notary commission.
