Mobile notary vacation coverage.
Title companies, lenders, and law firms don't reschedule signing appointments around your vacation. Mobile notaries who want time off need a covering notary network.
Title companies, lenders, and law firms don't reschedule signing appointments around your vacation. Mobile notaries who want time off need a covering notary network.
Solo mobile notaries vacation by maintaining a network of 2-4 covering notaries with reciprocal arrangements. During vacation, signing requests route to the covering network. Title companies and lenders typically don't care which notary handles the signing as long as it's on time.
Signing requests come in via title companies, lender platforms (Snapdocs, Notarize), or direct client. Set up auto-forward of incoming requests to your covering notary network during vacation dates.
Most platforms (Snapdocs, Notarize) allow you to mark dates unavailable so requests don't land in your queue at all.
Standard reciprocal: covering notary keeps the full fee for jobs they cover, you do the same when you cover them. Or, less common: a referral fee structure where you take 10-15% for routing the work.
Reciprocal is simpler and creates real partnership; referral-fee creates ongoing accounting.
1-2 weeks before vacation: notify your top accounts of dates and covering notary network info. Most won't need it; the few who do appreciate the heads-up.
Vacation revenue continues via reciprocal arrangements. 14 days free.
