When searching for a notary near you, be sure to:
Check out their profile and reviews on Thervo and Google.
Check their qualifications on their website and on Notary Public databases.
Choose a notary public close to your location to avoid additional travel time or hefty travel fees if you are hiring a mobile notary service.
Choose an insured and bonded notary public who belongs to professional organizations such as the Notary Association of America. Professional organizations typically require members to have ongoing training to keep their education and credentials current.
Review your state's Notary Public fee schedule on your Secretary of State's website.
Confirm the notary's fees before signing or agreeing to anything.
