Notary Fundamentals
Notary 2 Pro has teamed up with an expert when it comes to teaching people how to become professional notaries.
Chrissey Ladd is a foremost authority on Notarial law. As a Notary Public and banking professional for more than 13 years, Ladd created a comprehensive ethical notarization policy for her bank and worked tirelessly to help New Jersey Assemblywoman Joan Voss and Senator Nicholas Scutari draft bills to strengthen Notary practices and training. She also volunteers her time to mentor Notaries throughout the state, publishes an electronic Notary educational newsletter, and serves as a volunteer with organizations assisting women in transition.
Chrissey also acts as an Expert Witness when called upon to testify in court. Her knowledge of Notarial law is unlimited and to learn from her is to learn it the right way. As a first hand observer to the errors notaries public commit, she has designed education curriculum to educate notaries to avoid "innocent" mistakes that education prevents. An innocent mistake based on lack of knowledge is never an excuse in court. Learn how to avoid those mistakes.
Chrissey has developed an online course very similar in presentation to the Notary2Pro courses and we are happy to be able to offer this course to you for the cost of $100.00, a cost much less than most "notary courses" available across the country. If you are someone who is interested in building a career as a Notary and a Signing Agent, you have come to the right place. Together we teach you everything you need to know to achieve your goals, and you will be learning from experts in an easy to understand, self paced audio and visual presentation.

THE EMPOWERED NOTARY - A COMPREHENSIVE NOTARY PUBLIC TRAINING COURSE
A note from Chrissey: "As a notary first, and an expert witness second, this course was developed with the notary in mind. Commissioned in 3
different states, and attending numerous education classes for notary commissions and coveted certifications; even "advanced" education programs left
wide gaps in what notaries need to protect themselves from liability. Too often I left a training course armed with only enough information to pass the
test. In states requiring no exam, the number of mistakes made by un- or under-educated notaries in my office were frightful. When I couldn't find
a quality education course for my employees, I started the process to write one. 5-years later, this course is now available in a non-state specific
format to bring this comprehensive education directly to you, the notary."
Do you need this course? These simple 4 questions will help you with that decision:
1. There are 2 most common notarial acts; acknowledgement and jurat.
What word(s) designates the differences?
(Learn the answer in this course!)
2. True or False: As long as your employer asked you to become a
notary, pays for all your supplies, and you only notarize document for your
employer, you will never be held personally liable for anything.
(ANSWER: FALSE. Every active case I have pending is against
notaries who only executed during work.)
3. Notaries are often asked to execute an Apostille. What is it and can you provide it?
(ANSWER: NO! Find out who the approved providers of Apostilles are and how to refer a requester.)
4. Is a document considered legally "notarized" as long as it contains a notary's signature and seal?
(ANSWER: NO! Find out why in this course.)
Covered Topics:
1. What is a Notary Public?
Locating and using your state-specific resources
2. The Components of a Notarial Act
a. The Notary Public’s Seal – proper use and storage
b. The Certificate – identifying 2 basic acts by certificate wording
c. The Signer – proper identification, screening for willingness and understanding
d. The Document – identifying documents
e. The Journal – effective record keeping protects YOU, the notary
3. Maintaining your commission (State specific)
4. Powers and Prohibitions (Some may vary by state)

the gap between your statutory responsibilities and your personal liability
