I was interested in maybe taking the class and doing it as an extra, however, I was told that the process goes through a background check as well, and I do not have good credit at all, after going through a seperation issue. I do not know, I am just trying to earn extra income, I know that notary public is not a full time job, I already work a full time job and have two young kids, so I was just inquiring. I do not know what else I can try to do, I am bilingual, speaking Spanish and English fluently(not trying to brag), I just want some advice on extra income and not have to spend too much time away from my kids.

I am a notary public as a requirement for my job and I don't charge for the service. I can't see where there is really any good money to be made. I also haven't found anywhere to "learn" how to become one. I applied and got my stamp. That's all there was to it!! I don't think they take "credit" into account, just criminal background, maybe.

I gave mine up last year. Every nutty friend or family member wanted some signature or car title notarized without the person there. I told them this is illegal but they all went away mad - I did not trust them. In NC, $2 a signature - none of which I collected - since I was only a notary for my accounting job. If you decide to, be a closet notary - tell no one unless you have too! (lol) We can not marry anyone legally as notaries - better check your state - we had classes at community college, we had to attend & pass final test.

I, also, am a notary public as part of my job as a paralegal. I am a document notary, not one for motor vehicles-a separate license in my state. I'll be lucky if I make enough to pay over the costs of my stamp and crimper, and the insurance that was required. I will be licensed until Jan.'08 then it starts all over!

Be careful. You are signing that you've checked the id of the person you are notorizing. I worked in a bank, and it was just our common practice to notarize what the loan officer accepted. (ie: car or MH title). I got a call one day from the courthouse requesting my presence due to something I notorized. It was up in the air for awhile, but they wanted to press charges, and said I could go to jail. Yikes! I never notorized anything again without seeing the person sign it and check their id. It's not a way to make money.
