3 Essential Tools Every Mobile Notary Should Carry (That Most Forget)

on

 


Being a mobile notary means thinking beyond your stamp and journal.
If you want to run your business smoothly and look professional in every situation, these three lesser-known tools will give you a real edge.

🧾 1. A Receipt Book (Yes, You Still Need One)


Clients often want proof of payment — especially when you're paid in cash.

✔️ A small, carbon-copy receipt book makes it easy to:

  • Record payments

  • Provide instant receipts

  • Track income for tax time

💡 Bonus Tip: Pre-fill your business name and services to save time on-site.

🖋 2. A Jurat Stamp


Many documents come with incomplete or missing notarial wording — especially jurats. Instead of attaching a loose certificate every time, use a jurat stamp.

✔️ It's fast, clean, and looks professional.
Make sure it includes your state’s required jurat wording and use it only when a jurat is appropriate.

📌 Reminder: Always administer the oath or affirmation out loud before stamping.

📱 3. A Mobile Scanner or Scanning App



Some clients need scanned documents returned immediately.
✔️ A portable scanner or phone app (like CamScanner or Adobe Scan) lets you:

  • Send clean, legible scans right away

  • Save copies for your records (if permitted)

  • Stay competitive with real estate and legal clients

💡 Pro Tip: Always secure and delete scanned documents after sharing if you’re not allowed to retain them.
