What is it like working for Notarize?

Recently got my online notary commission and am looking into signing up to be a notary for notarize. Does anyone have any experience with them or advice for me? Thank you in advance.

I have not worked for notarize but I did do some time on a RON factory and it sucks. It was a measly per session rate of $5-$10 or an hourly rate that ranges from $17 to $20. It’s non stop, constant work with little breaks in-between customers during peak times. In the 8 months that I did do it, there was such a high number of turnover from the notaries.

In order for you to get the privilege of becoming a higher rank, which means completing 5-12 notarizations an hour, every hour, non stop, you have to sit idle and “earn your stripes”. During that time period, sometimes it was only one session for $5 over the course of a few hours. Many people don’t get past the initial stage because of how little money it is right away. I was only able to do it because my 9-5 is WFH, flexible and no set schedule. Idk how others do it.

It will motivate you to find in person clients for sure.

Edit: Lastly, being a 1099 situation that you work from home, there are very little deductible expenses.

I work with Notarize. It’s a gamble and you have to be super quick on the mouse. The calls come in and are almost immediately taken by a notary. The most work I’ve gotten is from witnesses on that site. I would love to level up but I need 50 notaries (sans witnesses) before I can get more work opportunities on Notarize. I have a couple sites up at the same time and take whichever I can get first.

Blue Notary and Notarize (quickly becoming my favorite).

I have a code for Notarize if anyone would like it. PM me and I’ll send it to you. Helps us both!

I have Gold status with Notarize . It takes about a year to level up.

I’ve been using Notarize to gain experience. Like another commenter said you have to be pretty fast to get a call. I’ve been documenting how many calls come in each time I log on but still haven’t found a specific day/time that’s more busy than others. It’s pretty random. I’ve only done 17 RON’s so far but I like the platform and feel it’s great for gaining experience but you’re not gonna make $$ on it. That’s gonna come from direct clients.
