I have to go get something notarized

Seriously...notarized?

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

This is an outrage!

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

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.)
