Once again I found myself in a situation where I needed to sign a doc and there was a requirement for a Notary Public to sign it as well. For those of you that are unaware, a Notary Public is someone legally empowered to witness signatures and certify a document’s validity. Usually in cases like this, I head over to my local bank as they provide me with Notary services for free. Well not thinking, my bank was recently shut down by the FDIC and the bank that took over fired the only registered Notary Public they had. I always thought a bank needed to have one due to mortgages, but I guess in this case not.

After doing some searching around, I found that UPS Storesoffer Notary Public services. I headed over to the one near me and he actually did it for free. He told me that usually he charges $1 / signature, but he did it for free if I would come back and use their services if and when I needed them. I really don’t use packaging services much since I have enough old Amazon.com boxes and packing material, I just do it myself. But I am definitely going to go there if needed. They just gained a customer!

Anyone can become a Notary Publicif you meet the criteria. This made me start thinking, why not just sign up and charge a buck for my signature. Not sure how often a Notary is needed, but a dollar for 2 seconds is not that bad of a deal. Plus you get a cool stamp to impress your friends with!! Now if only I could notarize documents over the Internet.
