We all know what it feels like when you are in the middle of doing business only to discover that you need something notarized and the only person that does it is clear across town. Some places that require things to be notarized are getting better about having one on hand to help you, but not all are there yet. So what can be done when you find yourself in this situation?
Notaries are becoming aware that in a mobile society they may need to be more accessible to people by offering their services anywhere they are needed.What this means is when you find yourself in the above situation you just pick up the phone and make a call to a notary public that offers their service on the go. The traveling notary public will come to you and notarize the document. This service may cause a little more then the traditional notary because of travel cost, but if the time you would have spent trying to find them was going to be worth a lot more, then it's a good option to use.
On the business side of things people that offer this service can work on a freelance basis. This means they can be contracted to be the on call notary for different companies without having to be an employee to any of them. This allows them the freedom of choosing their availability and set their own prices for their services. If you are considering taking your ability to notarize on the go you should have a couple things in place. If this is appealing to you, start by setting a definite schedule when you can be called to notarize; if you want a steady flow of clients you must build a reputation as being responsible and reliable. Now you need to get a general idea of how far you are willing to go and how you're going to charge for your services. Are you going to charge per mile or just a set fee? You should also decide how you would charge for your services on a corporate level. If a business wants you to be available only o them for a certain time frame a day, what would you charge?
For the person receiving the service having notaries on the go is a life saver; however the person on the business end has several things to consider. Once all these decisions have been made all the person has to do is advertise that they are offering the service. Once their friends and family also helps to spread the word and people start to use the services they will quickly build more business then they can keep up with.
