Technology

  • Laptop/Computer: The primary tool for conducting online notarizations.

  • Plug-In Mouse: For ease of use during notarizations.

  • Laptop Charger: To ensure your computer is always ready to go.

  1. Documentation and Promotional Materials

    • Clipboard: Essential for keeping papers organized, especially useful for outdoor or on-the-go signings.

    • Flyers: Detailed information about your services, including an explanation of remote online notarization.

    • Business Cards: To network effectively and leave a lasting impression with potential clients.

  2. Writing Instruments

    • Pens: Preferably those that do not run, such as ballpoint pens, for loan signings and other important documents.

  3. Communication Tools

    • Headphones: For clear audio during remote notarizations or in noisy environments.

  4. Notary Specific Supplies

    • Notary Stamp: A crucial tool for any notarization, be it remote or in-person.

    • Folder: To keep documents organized and straight.

    • FedEx Labels: For mailing documents efficiently without the need for last-minute purchases.

    • Notary Journal: Recommended for record-keeping, even in states where it's not required.

  5. Miscellaneous

    • Thank You Notes: Personalized notes to show appreciation to clients, enhancing customer relations.

    • Sticky Notes/Post-it Notes: For jotting down reminders, business ideas, or marking pages for signatures.

    • Indicators for Signing (Posty Notes): Especially useful for mobile notaries to guide signers through large document packages.

  6. Personal Comfort

    • Snacks: Optional, for those long days on the road (note: Katie prefers not to mix snacks with work materials).

    • Water Bottle: Advised to stay hydrated, though caution is needed around electronic devices.

  7. Professional Bag

    • Durable Bag: To carry all the above, with preferences for styles like Kate Spade or options that offer added security like lockable bags.

Note: This checklist is designed based on Katie's essentials for a remote online notary. Adjustments may be necessary based on personal preference, specific job requirements, or state regulations.

I had no idea that this kind of service existed, but I am so glad I did...Katie made the whole process very easy. I really like the fact that she can provide virtual services so I don't have to drive across town or coordinate schedules.

Rebecca Kroseberg

We helped a family member purchase a home out of state. This was a super stressful process, as all of us were in another state than the house that was being purchased. Katie helped out in a pinch with her virtual notarization services. Most importantly, using her virtual service meant not having to take time off work to go to a local notary and wait around. She made the process easy and had everything prepped. Highly recommend!
