This is a broad topic. Because we can figure out everything a notary can deduct on their taxes or just what does tax preparers do and what does notary public’s do? Let’s discuss.

You can become a Notary in your state (https://www.nationalnotary.org/knowledge-center/about-notaries/how-to-become-a-notary-public) if you meet the eligibility requirements and follow the steps your state includes in their commissioning process. The process varies from state to state, but generally, you would fill out an application, pay the state's application fee, take a training

course or pass an exam, file your bond and oath of office, and buy your Notary supplies.

Every Notary begins with a traditional commission, but they can branch out to provide specialized services. Below are the different types of Notary jobs you may want to consider:

• Traditional Notary: Notary who qualifies for a commission in their state and has met the state’s application requirements.

• Mobile Notary: Traditional Notary who travels to the signer’s preferred location, such as the signer’s home or hospital.

• Remote Online Notary (RON): Notary with a traditional commission who has met their state’s requirements to become authorized to perform remote notarizations.

• Notary Signing Agent (NSA): Notary with a traditional commission who has also passed a background screening to comply with industry standards and handle loan signings.

While every type of Notary Public shares the same core duties, the format of the documents they notarize and the location where the transaction occurs are the biggest differences between them.
