The Power of Networking for Notaries

Networking isn’t just a buzzword—it’s one of the most effective tools for building a strong and sustainable notary business. Many notaries rely heavily on word-of-mouth referrals, and that all starts with connections.

Begin with your peers. Other notaries in your area may not be competition—they can be collaborators. For example, if another notary is fully booked or can’t travel to a certain area, they might send that client your way. Building trust within your professional circle means opportunities will naturally come to you.

Next, branch out to industries that regularly need notary services. Real estate agents, mortgage brokers, attorneys, and even small business owners often require notarizations. By introducing yourself, leaving a business card, or even offering to be “on call,” you make yourself memorable.

Networking doesn’t have to be complicated. Attend local business meetups, join professional organizations, or simply engage on LinkedIn. The more you put yourself out there, the more visible your services become. Remember: your commission gives you credibility, but your connections give you longevity. To assist in finding events to attend you can check meetup.com or local Facebook events.
