Almost everyone knows that you can make money on the Internet. You
can earn either through online advertising like Google Adsense,
affiliate marketing, or selling information via ebooks. You can also
offer or advertise your skills, knowledge, and services by doing
freelance jobs. And speaking of freelancing, try your hand at
something that won’t take too much of your time by becoming a
notary public.
For those who still don’t know, a notary, or notary
public,
is an official appointed by the state to perform notarial acts like
witnessing the signing of documents and notarizing the signature as
proof that the signer is in fact the same person named on the
document. To put it simply, a notary is an impartial observer in the
processing of any legal agreements.
Aside from that, you also have the option to upgrade yourself as an
electronic
notary
or
enotary.
An enotary has almost the same duties and responsibilities of the
traditional pen-and-paper notary. The only difference is that
enotaries are authorized by the state to perform notarizations on
electronic documents, aka electronic notarizations, or
enotarizations. By becoming an enotary, you can notarized documents
online -- anytime and anywhere in the world.
Anyone who is at least 18 years of age, and is a legal resident of
the state in which he or she is residing, is eligible to become a
notary public in any part of the United States. All you have to do is
meet the requirements and submit an application form. Although, the
notary application requirements and procedures may vary in each
state.
If you’re interested to be appointed as enotary, make sure that
your state offers enotary commissions. You can view the Virginia

Notary

page as an example of how an enotary application looks like.
As a notary public, you can already earn a decent amount of money for
each document that you are going to notarize. For every single notary
service, you may earn as little as $2 or as much as $10 or more,
depending on the type of document. Rates may also vary in each state.
Lastly, it is very important to note that just like any profession,
notaries public must also abide by the law and be always responsible
in doing their jobs at the best of their capacities.
