Common questions
Which notary kit should I buy first?
If you are in New Jersey and want to do mobile work or loan signings, the Notary Business Bundle covers the commission paperwork, the business setup and the signing agent side in one purchase. In another state, start with that state's starter kit; add the signing agent kit once you take loan packages.
Do the state starter kits replace my state's notary handbook?
No. Each kit is organized around the state's own handbook or statute as it read when the kit was written, and points you back to it. Your commissioning office's current rules always win.
I already do signings. What helps most?
The Notary Signing Agent Business Tracker logs signings, mileage, fees and who still owes you, and the Loan Signing Practice Package lets you rehearse a full package before a real one.
Is there anything free to try first?
Yes. The calculators on this page are free and need no email, and many kits have a free sample page you can request from the product page.
