In
today's marketplace, websites have become a major player to our overall
appearance. Companies do view your website (if you have one) to learn
more about you. This allows you to give detailed information about
yourself/company and your services. Whether you do business with
signing services, title companies or lenders, your website will tell it
all. Keep in mind the same rule applies to websites as it does to
emails. Keep it short and professional. The longer the name, the harder
it is to remember and the longer your email address will be. Create a
contact us page where companies can contact you by email or phone; your
location etc.

Senate Appropriations Committee Passes Runner Notary Bill |

Written by Hazzaa Kassis

Sacramento – On Wednesday, the State
Senate Appropriations Committee passed AB 886, a bill that will strengthen
notary law and fight real estate fraud. “I am very pleased that this
important legislation is moving forward,” said Assemblywoman Sharon Runner.
“Real estate fraud is a serious problem and this legislation will save untold
dollars now lost to fraud.” Essentially, AB 886 makes it easier
to investigate unethical and criminal notaries public. In these types of cases,
notaries aid and abet fraud by loaning their journal to a non-notary, by
notarizing documents without all of the parties present or by failing to
properly secure their journal and stamp.

Former Legislator Pleads Not Guilty To Misuse Of
Authority Charges
By News 8 WMTW
POSTED: 3:54 pm EDT August 21, 2007
UPDATED: 5:09 am EDT August 22, 2007
LEWISTON, Maine -- A Lewiston city councilor has entered pleas of not guilty on
charges of misusing his authority as a notary public.
The Maine Attorney General's Office
said that Stavros Mendros, a former state legislator, signed off on petitions
circulated in 2005 seeking a statewide referendum on a planned casino in
Washington County without personally witnessing the circulator's signature.
A clerk at Lewiston District Court
said Mendros' lawyer entered the pleas on his behalf on Tuesday.
State law requires that a notary
public witness the signature of the person who circulates a petition for a
statewide referendum.

As you have all come to realize United Notary Association of America proudly presents you with a new theme every
month. With January out of the way, we all have a feeling of what this
year is going to bring; less than perfect interest rates, meaning less
signings and more competition. Some feel that the New Notary Signing
Agents coming into the market everyday takes yet one more client away
from them. Having said that, 'Marketing' should kick into high gear if
we plan on continuing our business growth and or to stay in business at
all.

Just recently, I was startled out of a deep sleep by the ringing of my front doorbell on a early Saturday morning. When I opened the door I was facing two New York City Police Detectives.
After introducing themselves and showing ID they asked to be invited in for a chat. We sat in the Living Room and they proceeded to ask a few general questions about my business, and then said “Do you remember working on July *** ? I replied that I probably had; but I needed to check my Journal to answer with any certainty.
