4 Rules for Choosing the Right Notary

When it comes to important paperwork, a notary’s job isn’t just about stamps and signatures — it’s about service, trust, and precision. But how do you know you’ve found the right notary?

Today I had the opportunity to serve as a witness for a Seller’s package signing. It took place in a busy home filled with moving boxes, background noise, and even a baby in the mix. And yet — the notary remained calm, focused, and professional. She didn’t just notarize documents; she delivered peace of mind in the middle of a move.

That experience reminded me of a powerful message I heard while listening to Sign & Thrive by Bill Soroka: Notarization is a service — not just a transaction. It’s a relationship business built on trust and integrity. So whether you're preparing real estate documents, affidavits, or legal forms, here are four essential rules to follow when choosing your notary:

Your notary should show up prepared — and stay composed no matter the environment. Whether it’s a quiet office or a home filled with distractions, professionalism means staying focused, respectful, and adaptable.

The notary I observed today stood at a kitchen table cleared just minutes before the signing began. She explained each document clearly and double-checked every detail before leaving. That’s the kind of service you deserve

As Soroka teaches, this line of work isn’t about chasing income — it’s about delivering value. Your notary should care more about doing the job right than doing it fast. Look for someone who sees their role as a trusted guide, not just a document handler.

The best notaries aren’t just present for a one-time signature. They become a reliable resource for life’s many documentation needs. Whether you're closing on a home, starting a business, or planning your estate, you want someone you can return to — and refer with confidence.

In today’s world, convenience is key. That’s why many trusted notaries now offer both mobile and Remote Online Notarization (RON) services.
