NotaryX was chosen as a name for this service for two reasons, both of which long-time notaries will probably find amusing.
First, NotaryX speaks to the anonymity of notary publics. Name a famous notary public. You probably can't. (If you know a famous notary public, e-mail us the information.) Notary publics, by the nature of the role that we play, are in the background. If you have ever gotten anything notarized, you probably can't remember the name of the notary public, unless they're related to you. Although the notary plays an important role in commerce, it's an anonymous role, the X role, NotaryX.
Second, NotaryX also represents one of the more annoying aspects of being a notary public, the person that decides to sign by a mark, by an X. Most notaries rarely have a signer that signs by X but when it happens, it can be disconcerting. Suddenly, the notary has to remember the obscure state requirements for signing with a X. Do you need identification or not? One witness or two? Witness identification? Do the witnesses sign the journal? A signer that signs by X is something to dread. Therefore, to remind us of the hardest notary witnessing, NotaryX.
Why did we start NotaryX? After taking many notary tests, buying supplies, and filing notary forms with the county, we felt that we could simplify the process. Until NotaryX, there was no inexpensive one stop source for the notary continuing education, supplies, and information. Sure, there are groups like the National Notary Association that offer continuing education and supplies, but they are expensive and we found that they were not slow on providing supplies, especially after you paid for the supplies in advance.
As notaries are quick to discover, from the time that you receive you notary commission from the state, you have only 30 days to get a bond, file it with the county, and if you are renewing your notary commission, obtain your new stamp in order to have no gap in your notary income. Time is of the essence. One mistake and you could be without the equipment you need to get your work done.
NotaryX wants to be your one source for the notary training, stamp, and bond. We also pledge to have the lowest prices.
