The Business

Mobile notaries travel to clients to notarize documents — real estate closings, power of attorney, affidavits, and loan documents. Loan signing agents (a specialized mobile notary) earn $75-200 per signing for mortgage closings. The startup cost is virtually nothing — a notary commission costs $50-100 and a stamp costs $30. Most work comes from title companies and signing services.

How to Start

Get your state notary commission ($50-100). Complete NNA (National Notary Association) signing agent certification ($150). Create profiles on Snapdocs, NotaryRotary, and SigningOrder. Contact local title companies and attorneys. The work is flexible — do 2-3 signings per day around your schedule.

REAL EXAMPLE

A loan signing agent in Orlando does 3 signings per day at $150 each, earning $9K/month while maintaining a flexible schedule.

CHRIS'S TAKE

“Mobile notary is the ultimate low-barrier side hustle that scales into a real business. $500 startup cost, flexible hours, and $100-200 per signing. Do 3 signings a day and you're at $9K/month with zero overhead.”

PRO TIP

Focus on loan signing agent work through Snapdocs — mortgage signings pay $125-200 vs $25-75 for general notarizations. The volume is in real estate.
