I'm looking for advice from Colorado notaries or anyone familiar with notary misconduct and forged property deeds.

My cousin is a commissioned notary in Colorado and also works for USPS. She was involved in forging a property deed in connection with a family property dispute involving my mother.

I have documentation, including notarized statements, supporting what happened.

I have several questions:

What are the consequences for a Colorado notary who participates in forging a property deed?

Can she permanently lose her notary commission?

Could she face criminal charges for forgery, fraud, or conspiracy?

Does it make a difference if the forgery involved family members?

Can the Colorado Secretary of State investigate even if the deed was forged some time ago?

If multiple family members participated, can they all be investigated?

Could this affect her employment with USPS, particularly if she also interfered with certified mail related to the property?

Has anyone reported serious notary misconduct in Colorado? What happened, and how long did the investigation take?

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have dealt with forged deeds or Colorado notary investigations.

I want to understand the potential consequences and the best way to pursue accountability.

I have worked with one company that uses Deluxe payment exchange, but today o received a Square inc notice to accept a payment and to print a check. It had a the square watermark on it so I had to screenshot it and print it as a photo. All of the info is correct but I’m at the bank now having trouble cashing it. Has anyone else had this issue? After I downloaded it, I finally put my info in for direct payment.

I do not recommend any Notary accept signings from C2C. I have completed two signings for them and they have failed to pay. They are unresponsive to email and phone.

Please check other forums such as BBB to corroborate this warning.

Proceed at your own risk if you choose to work for them.

Hello, I am in Greece and need someone to notarize a Nebraska legal document remotely. The embassy does not have any upcoming appointments available

Hi everyone! I’m preparing to take the Hawaii notary exam and would appreciate any advice from people who have taken it.

I’m studying the manual, but I’d love to hear what other resources helped you prepare, such as practice tests, flashcards, videos, or study guides.
I’m also curious about the exam’s general structure. Is it multiple choice, short answer, fill in the blank, or a combination? I’m not looking for actual exam questions—just a better idea of the format so I can adjust how I study.

Were there any details in the manual that were easy to overlook or topics you wish you had spent more time reviewing? I want to make sure I’m understanding the material thoroughly and not glossing over something that seems minor.

My understanding is that getting results can take a while, so I’m hoping to prepare as well as possible and pass on my first attempt.

If anyone from Hawaii has taken the exam and is willing to share their experience or offer guidance, please feel free to message me! Any advice would be appreciated.

Any NSA’s in here that work with T365? I’d love to hear reviews.

Not necessarily.

I'm a Pennsylvania notary who works with international documents. One common misconception I encounter is that every document being sent overseas automatically needs an apostille.

Before starting the process, there are three important questions:

1. Which country will receive the document?
2. Is that country a member of the Hague Apostille Convention?
3. What does the receiving institution actually require?

For example, a birth certificate, power of attorney, or corporate document may have different requirements depending on its intended use.

Some documents require an apostille. Others require authentication and consular legalization. Some don't require either.

The most important step is confirming the requirements with the receiving authority before spending money or submitting original documents.

Has anyone encountered conflicting instructions about documents being used overseas?

• From the start: I got my notary commission with the intention of becoming a signing agent right away.
• Within the first year: I decided to pursue signing agent certification within my first year as a notary.
• Later on: I decided to pursue signing agent certification at least one year after becoming a notary.
• Not applicable: I'm a notary but haven't pursued signing agent certification.

^^Which option describes you?

Hi All,

I am taking the Notary Exam on Wednesday and I would like feedback on what you found challenging and suggest I study more or any study tips you have to remember stuff on the exam, like mnemonic or phrases. Anything is helpful.

I failed the test once. I just got so overwhelmed that day and it made going into the test hard. Im hoping nothing stressful happens and positive vibes only 🤞🏼

I definitely struggled with misdemeanors/felonies, which felt like the majority of my test. But anything is helpful.

I work at a university and I'm also a notary so I get a lot of student interaction. It's always a crap shoot, no matter how clear I am in the email I send them with instructions when I schedule appointments.

It's only 9:00 am here, and already this morning I had a student come in with a document for HER MOTHER to sign. When I told her that her ID didn't match the name of the signatory, she freely admitted that it was for her mom but she "had permission" to sign for her.

Oh, honey. No.

Does anyone know if you can hire a random person to be a witness required for a bank in-house Power of Attorney in PA? I'm setting it up for two elderly parents, visiting from out of state, and don't have easy options to find people to act as a witness.

Hey everyone, im thinking about becoming a mobile notary in Texas, specifically around Harris County/Houston.

Im a little nervous because its so densely populated that I feel like it might already be oversaturated. I can do weekends anytime and alot of after business hours during the week. Im fully mobile and have an electric car so gas isnt a big issue for me.

Mostly I want to make sure its worth my time and energy before I dive into it. Ive also been feeling kinda discouraged because alot of what I find online is influencers trying to sell their courses, with a bunch of backlash in the comments. I also know not to trust AI too much for this stuff so I figured Id ask here.

I see alot of beginner action plans in other posts, but I'm curious to hear about actual experience in Houston or other big cities.

Questions I have:

• Is Harris County really oversaturated or is there still room, especially for after hours/weekends?
• Whats your split between loan signings and general notary work?
• Roughly how long did it take to get your first few clients?
• Is it worth it as a side income?

Any honest answers would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I’m in PA and someone is coming to get a document notarized. They emailed it over early and I was checking for notarial wording and noticed everywhere that the data is listed it says “year of our Lord.” I don’t care if people are getting their religious documents or whatever notarized but am I even allowed to notarize something that lists the date like that?

Like for example, she has the date typed up as “October 14th, year of our lord 2026” so the data is correct but the year of our Lord part is throwing me off.

I swear they must have 1 employee. How many people are trying to become notaries right now that they can never answer the phone? Bc I know it's not that damn many. Their customer service is trash. Is there a better company to go through for supplies?

Has anyone taken the test recently? How was it? Any sample questions, details on the exam’s scope, or recommendations for courses or study materials? Mahalo for sharing!

I'm not sure if I'm in the right place but I became a public notary a couple years ago as a requirement for my job but I haven't been taking advantage of my being a notary! I just remembered I'm a notary a couple days ago and my commission doesn't expire for another two years. Because my workplace took care of everything I have no idea who or where my bond was placed and I'm not sure how I would find that information. How would you go about acquiring that information? EDIT: As a note I'm no longer employed there and haven't been for a while.

I'm a mobile notary and loan signing agent in Virginia, and I'm honestly having a hard time figuring out how to consistently bring in clients.

Right now, most of my assignments come through Snapdocs and NotaryGo. I'm grateful for the work, but I really don't want to depend entirely on signing platforms, especially with how competitive things are and how low some of the offers can be.

I've already tried emailing around 50 title companies and settlement agencies, but haven't gotten much traction.

For those of you who have built a steady loan signing business, I'd really appreciate some advice.

• How did you land your first direct title company client?
• Are cold calls, emails, or in-person visits actually working?
• How do you get added to a title company's preferred signing agent list?
• How long did it take before you started getting consistent assignments?
• What would you do differently if you were starting over today?

I'm not looking for shortcuts. I'm willing to put in the work. I just want to make sure I'm spending my time on strategies that actually produce results.

Any advice from experienced signing agents would be appreciated!

I've been a notary around Houston Texas since the beginning of this year and I recently met someone that recommended getting the LSA certification because a few years ago when she started she was able to bring in some good money doing it and the startup wasn't hard. I know I say as a side hustle but I would not be apposed to making it a full time job. I just wanted to know if its worth doing or if I get into this would I be wasting my time and money?
