Category: What a Signing Service Can do for You

When it comes to legitimizing a wide array of documents — from mortgages and prenuptial agreements to statements and sworn affidavits — the absence of a notarized signature can strip them of any legal validity. Although a trip to a UPS notary might appear to be the simplest route, numerous advantages tilt the balance in favor of employing a mobile notary.

In the quest to find a notary online, location and legitimacy undoubtedly top your list of considerations. Identifying a notary’s whereabouts is just the initial step; managing to reach them and carve out time for the appointment poses another set of challenges.

At a glance, the UPS notary service seems straightforward and user-friendly. Your task is merely to locate a UPS store offering notary services, bring along your documents, present an ID for verification, and undergo the notarization process.

However, beneath this simplicity lies potential inconvenience, particularly for those who regularly require notary services. This inconvenience stems from the need to align your schedule with store hours, possibly taking time off work, and the physical effort to travel to a UPS store — challenges that can escalate quickly if you’re pressed for time or if a UPS location is not conveniently situated near you.

The Mobile Notary Advantage

In contrast, mobile notary services offer a level of convenience and flexibility that traditional notary services can’t match.

Here are some compelling reasons why choosing a mobile notary might be the better option for your notarization needs:

Unmatched Convenience

Mobile notaries come to you, wherever you are. Whether you’re at home, the office, or any other location, mobile notary services eliminate the need for travel, saving you time and hassle.

Flexible Scheduling

Unlike brick-and-mortar notary services that operate within fixed hours, mobile notaries often offer more flexible scheduling options. This means you can have documents notarized outside of regular business hours, including evenings and weekends, fitting seamlessly into your busy schedule.

Efficiency for Frequent Needs

For individuals or businesses that require notary services on a regular basis, mobile notaries provide a streamlined solution. The ability to have a notary come to you on-demand simplifies the process, making it faster and more efficient.

Privacy and Comfort

Notarizing sensitive documents in the comfort of your own space provides a level of privacy and security that public locations cannot. Mobile notary services allow for a discreet and comfortable experience, especially for documents of a personal or confidential nature.

Choosing What’s Best For You

When deciding whether to use UPS notary services or a mobile notary, consider the factors of convenience, time, and the frequency with which you require notary services. While both options are legally valid, your specific needs and circumstances will dictate the most suitable choice.

In the digital age, where efficiency and convenience are prized, opting for a mobile notary service can significantly ease the notarization process. By choosing Sunshine Signing for your mobile notary needs, you’re not just getting your documents notarized; you’re choosing a service that values your time and convenience.

What is a notary signing service and how does it differ from a normal notary?

The Notary Signing Service

A notary signing service performs many notary signings. It is not just a one off, a company like Sunshine Signing can perform from one to thousands of notarizations for our clients. We do it by leveraging a roster of tens of thousands of notaries spread across all fifty states.

While a single notary may be available for more than one signing, there are times they may not be available. In these instances a signing service can plug the gap by providing another professional notary in a limited time frame.

This allows the signer, be it an individual or a firm like a title company, to ease the worry of having to fill any gaps for notarizations. For institutions this is extremely important, as time is of the essence.

Time and Money

For business, a signing service can save them both time and money, while increasing productivity. When faced with dozens or thousands of signings, a signing service only makes sense.

With nationwide access and the ability to perform both mobile and online signings from anywhere, a notary signing service ensures every notarization goes smoothly. These signings can happen in the office, at your local coffee shop, on a job site, or any other place that is convenient.

Any business owner knows time is money. And the freedom a notary signing service provides saves a company time.

The Notary Signing Service Saves an Employee

Too many companies have an employee dedicated to finding notaries. They open an online rolodex, making call after call, trying to arrange all of their signings. This not just wastes effort, but costs the business too much effort.

A signing service like Sunshine Signing handles all of that for you, in an efficient manner. This again saves a business both time and money. Yes, we do keep coming back to that, time and money.

Sunshine Signing is more efficient than your own dedicated employee. Why? Because facilitating notarizations is all we do. It is our business, our sole dedicated purpose. Why waste effort when you have someone who can do it all for you in a blink of an eye.

So, how do you find a notary public near you?

A simple google maps search will bring up a partial list. But, it will leave out a lot of corner stores that offer the service.

The real question you should ask. Should I use just any old notary public near me? What are the ramifications? And do they have the knowledge to make sure everything is compliant with state and local regulations.

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is gaining prominence and transforming the notarization landscape. But, it’s unlikely that mobile notarizations will become entirely obsolete. Both mobile notarizations and RON offer unique advantages, and their coexistence serves to cater to different needs and scenarios.

Here’s why Mobile Notarizations will not go the Way of the Dodo:

In-Person Transactions:

There are instances where physical presence is required due to legal or regulatory reasons. Mobile notaries play a crucial role in facilitating in-person signings, especially when parties must be physically present to provide signatures, answer questions, or fulfill specific legal requirements.

Technological advancements and the advantages of remote online notarizations continue to reshape the way we conduct business and legal transactions. And the fields of notarization and authentication are no exception. Traditional methods of notarization, often involving physical presence and paper based processes, are being challenged by innovative alternatives.

In recent years, both remote online notarizations and mobile notarizations have emerged as convenient options, but the former offers distinct advantages that position it as a superior choice.

The demand for mobile notaries has increased drastically in recent years, and for good reason. Mobile notaries play an essential role in the signing of legal documents, offering convenient services by traveling to a signer’s location, providing the required notary services without the struggle of traveling to a notary or title office. 

Credentials are Important

However, with an increase in demand comes the need for diligent background checks and credentials to ensure your mobile notary is properly vetted. This article will address the importance of background checks and other necessary credentials a mobile notary should have in order to conduct your signing.

We all can see the significance that a mobile notary plays in our legal system today. They are not only responsible for verifying the signer’s identity but confirming the signer is entering the transaction willingly and knowingly, while ensuring all signatures, initials and notarizations are completed accurately. Wills, powers of attorney, real estate documents, could not progress without the knowledge and expertise provided by a notary.

However, while a mobile notary is significant and convenient for your signer, there are risks to hiring just any mobile notary. Random hires lead to under qualified notaries who lack the basic training and credentials, let alone the experience, to perform their jobs efficiently and accurately. This puts not only your client, but your company at risk for receiving fraudulent services or having errors on legal documents. 

How Sunshine Protects Your Interests

The first thing we review here at Sunshine Signing is the notaries background check, which is easily the most critical credential a notary can provide. While most companies do a soft check on their notaries, we find that these can be lacking in critical areas and require annual background checks in order to stay up to date on our notaries and their eligibility to serve your clients.

A background check will reveal any criminal history, including motor vehicle and any listed offenders. You are already sending a stranger to your client’s home, the least we can do is ensure that notary is a standup citizen on paper. Any notary convicted or under suspicion of fraud, forgery, or identity theft should not be hired as they pose a significant risk to the client and the reputation of your company. By following industry standards for all notaries, regardless of states, we maintain a consistent level of expectations and service requirements for all notaries. 

Are They Insured?

Errors and Omissions Insurance. This is a staple credential in the mobile notary industry as it offers not only the notary financial protection against any errors but your company as well. Knowing that your notary is insured in case of any costly errors, while we always strive for none, offers a peace of mind and added layer of caution. We are all human and make mistakes, and in the legal world those mistakes can be layered in fees that stack up quickly. 

Among other creds such as bond and commission, Sunshine takes the time to personally vet and interview each mobile notary. This gives us an opportunity to gauge their professional experience, reputation through business references, and verify any additional training they may have had that will benefit the quality of the signing. 

Credentials are crucial aspect of hiring a mobile notary. Notaries with proper credentials have undergone the training and meet the state’s requirements to become a notary public. Verified credentials provide clients and signers with the assurance that their mobile notary is knowledgeable and above all else, safe. 

Our goal here at Sunshine is to provide a trustworthy, qualified and experience mobile notary each and every time.
