New York details ## Before you apply in New York Notary commissions in the state are tied to [New York Department of State](https://dos.ny.gov/). Before you apply, check that your commission is active and has at least 60 days left, because we cannot assign a job on a commission that is about to lapse. The state has 62 counties. Tell us which ones you will travel to and which you prefer to avoid, and we only offer in-person jobs inside that range. What it pays ## Pay and terms Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Every offer states what the job pays before you commit, including any job in the state. Contractors receive a 1099 at year end. A mobile notary visit is offered from $35 and a loan signing from $75, and plenty of offers come in above those amounts. Jobs are offered one at a time as client requests come in near your home ZIP, around New York, Buffalo, Rochester or anywhere else you are willing to travel. There is no guaranteed volume. This page is not legal advice. Honest note: we are a young company, and we keep the team small so the contractors who join early get the work as it grows. The application is right here: fill it in and upload your commission and E&O, and your NNA certificate for loan work. Fully documented applications may be approved automatically, and an email then walks you through the contractor agreement and W-9 so offers can start. FAQ ## New York notary contractor questions **Can I apply if I am commissioned in New York?** Yes. Apply with your state commission and upload your commission and E&O documents with the application (NNA certification only if you want loan signings). **Is there work in New York right now?** We cannot promise any. Our in-person volume is mainly in New Jersey, and New York applicants join a pool for remote work and for in-person work as it opens. We would rather say that plainly. **What does it cost to join?** Nothing. We never charge to apply or to join. You pay for your own commission and E&O insurance, and NNA certification if you want loan signings. **Do you have an office in New York?** We have one office, in Cranford, New Jersey. Nothing outside it, so contractors work wherever they live.
