FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard rates are $10 per notarizaton but does not include travel and printing. Travel is a flat rate of $20 inside the city limits of South Bend and Mishawaka. Aligning areas, within 25 miles of my location, are serviced at higher rates ranging from $30-$50. Due to Michigan licensing requirements, I am unable to conduct any services in that state but am willing to travel to the Indiana side of the state line if needed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I introduce myself and briefly summarize their specific service, always including the disclosure that I am not an attorney and thus am prohibited by law from providing any legal advice.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold an Indiana notary commission and title producers license as well as signing agent certification from notarystudy.com. Those credentials have regular training requirements at renewal. I also regularly research the industry via the National Notary Association, Indiana Notary Association and other industry related organizations.
