Safety Tips for Mobile Notaries

Mobile Notaries and Notary Signing Agents frequently meet with strangers, which can pose some potential hazards. Here are 4 safety tips to follow when you’re traveling to an assignment: bit.ly/NotaryS....
As a Notary Public, you should start considering safety as soon as you receive an assignment. The date and time, location, signer’s reputation, and type of signing should all be considered when weighing potential risks.
Led by a former law enforcement officer, this workshop will teach you how to evaluate the potential risks of a Notary assignment and how to approach each signing safely.
Presented by Dushunna Scott, owner of Lady Scott Enterprises, LLC and criminal justice instructor. Recorded at the NNA 2019 Conference.
Workshop Overview:
00:06 - Introduction and objectives.
01:24 - Critical information to keep in mind at each signing: date and time, location, type of signing, and the borrowers. Do research ahead of time using public sources of information.
10:31 - Weigh the risks and determine if a signing is right for you. Have a plan for what to do if a threat arises.
17:06 - Post-signing safety tips. Considerations when deciding to carry a weapon.

What a powerful and important presentation by Dushunna Scott. Besides being a Notary, I am a licensed Security Guard. This is great training for security guards as well. I encourage all of us to share this video with other notaries for their safety during a signing. I'm saving this video for sure. Thank you NNA for providing this important information.

[@widowscafe7056]

Thank you! I am a new Notary in Iowa. With the pandemic and all that has taken place, I do not want to meet at a person's home. Am I able to ask the signer to meet at a neutral location like a coffee shop? Tks!

[@NationalNotary]

Hello. Thank you for question. Yes, you can meet a signer a coffee shop if that's what you both agree on. More information about safety procedures can be found here: www.nationalnotary.org/notary-bulletin/blog/2020/03/notaries-precautions-coronavirus

Absolutely! As long as your signer agrees, you can meet in a public place.
