              The Case of the Mysterious Notary

I note with amusement the recent growth of "phantom" Notary Service web sites. No names, no home addresses, often just a cell phone number, and a machine/"dispatcher" that says "someone will get back to you". That's my home address on my site and the 212 number is my home phone. I am also National Notary Association "Background Checked" and a 123notary.com "Elite" Certified Signing Agent.

When we meet the first thing I do, prior to asking for your ID is to show you mine. I have my NY State Drivers License, my Notary Commission, and my EPA Federal Lead Based Paint Inspector "badge" (with photo).

The sites that boast of "Accreditations" are really referring to (sometimes) paid memberships. Real accreditations are earned, not bought. I am a member of both the BBB and the Local Chamber of Commerce - with clickable links to my listing on their sites. Be wary of accreditations in a "Company Name", people take tests, not organizations. Who are the (unlikely) 6+ staff members, what are their names? How much experience does each have, you might get the "runt" of the litter who just started!

If a "Company" does not give any names on their site, and you wish to know who really is the company? Ask for a copy of the "Certificate of Doing Business Under an Assumed Name, if they don't do business under a genuine human name.   Most of all, be wary of "false New Yorkers", operating under a "New York sounding name". Many don't live in New York City; some don't even live in New York State! My site is http://kenneth-a-edelstein.com  - and my picture is there too.

Always ask, and verify where the Notary lives. An out of New York state resident notary will probably be unwilling or unable to respond quickly from their distant home location, if at all. Also, many notaries "part time"; attempting to "squeeze you in" around their 9 to 5 NYC jobs; but their priority is, of course; their other job - not you! They don't put their names on their web sites so their "main job" boss won't know about their "other" activities. My point is that you should ask questions about "facts" stated - not just on Notary sites - but in any advertising. If someone will try to fool you to "get your business" they might also try to "give you the business" in other ways......  Do you need a Notary or an Attorney? visit here
