I have to go get something notarized

[rudeguy]

Seriously...notarized?

Why? I basically have to pay someone $10 to watch me sign, then have them stamp the paper?

This is an outrage!

 

[maziwanka]

it actually has a valid purpose.

 

[rivan]

That stamp doesn't pay for itself!

You are a genius at being stupid :thumbsup:

 

[highland145]

I do it for free. Costs $35 for 10 years. Hard to justify charging people.

Come on down.

Check with your Bank - They often have notarys on staff, and generally provide the service for free to their customers.

I'm a notary, only cache is that i have to stand close behind you and hold your hand in mine when I stamp your form.

 

[dullard]

Its never been a problem for me. Just about all branches of banks that I've used have a notary. So would any real-estate agent. Both are very easy to find. And neither have ever considered charging me.

 

[Duder1no]

do it here we can notarize for you dude

 

[kranky]

Yep, go to your bank. No charge.

Tell the guy that's trying to charge you $10 to shove it up his ass and go to your bank and get it done for free.

I usually get it done at the law library at the court house, $1.50.

Most banks will notarize bank related docs for free but it's hit or miss with other paperwork.

 

[ViviTheMage]

UPS used to do them around here ... but not anymore . It was $2.50.

 

[EagleKeeper]

Most local insurance agents will also have a notarary on staff.

Between courthouse, banks, real estate and insurance; you should ahve one that you utilize and can go to.

 

[cronos]

I had done this several times with my bank, they never charged me anything.

 

[wheresmybacon]

Not sure where you work, but many medium to large-sized business will have at least one notary on staff. Ask your boss. I was surprised to learn we had one in the office.

Some ignorance in this thread.

It is $10 because it costs money to maintain your notary status with the state.

It costs money and time to take the classes and do the background checks to become a notary.

It costs money to get the notary supplies and renew your notary once it expires.

If you are a smart notary you have an E&O insurance policy which costs money.


My SO only notaries loan documents $200/pop, which works out to an extra 8-12K/yr for us on top of what we actually do in this office.

 

[guyver01]

My mother-in-law is a notary.

Free Stamps!

Registered voter, no classes, $35 and good for 10 years. Good thing we're behind the times.

lol

This was all I had to rant about today. It was a pretty good day.

(and I ended up getting it done for free at one of those document preparation places. I didn't want to mess with the bank since its always stupid busy. I just fired up Google Maps, typed in notary, and hit navigate at the closest one.)

Woah thats crazy, didnt realize some states had such lax notary laws.

I'm only required to check i.d. Don't even have to get a copy but I do. I even "marry" people. I do copy their i.d.'s and send it in with the license, just in case....
