According to a recent report by a prominent U.S. cable news network, the first 8 weeks of 2025 produced a higher number than expected of first-time applicants for unemployment benefits.
In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor reported that in the week ending February 22 alone, some 242,000 unemployment benefit claims were filed by nonworking or laid-off U.S. workers.
Imagine trying to stand out in such a massive crowd of job seekers. The numbers are sobering, but… they could motivate you to finally obtain a notary public commission.
How can a notary public commission benefit you?
- It can enhance your overall value to your current employer. Being a notary public isn’t just a “smile, sign, and stamp” exercise. You must know your state’s notary laws inside and out, have good people skills, and be organized, methodical, and patient enough to handle the many details of performing notarial acts and recording every notarization you perform. All employers value such skills.
- It can help you stand out in a crowd of job applicants. Already having or obtaining a notary commission while looking for employment sends a strong message about your skill set and your desire to bring added value to any new job you accept.
- A notary commission issued to you is yours alone, whether you pay for it or an employer does. That means that even when you obtain a notary commission while employed, and even if your employer paid for it, the commission, your notary stamp, and your record book (journal) always stay with you, wherever you go.
- It can create additional income opportunities. With a notary commission, you have the option to offer your services outside of regular business hours. Many notaries earn extra income by providing mobile or freelance notary services for general notary work or as signing agents. This flexibility can be a profitable side hustle or even grow into a full-time business.
- You obtain your notary commission and supplies quickly and efficiently when you choose the right company to process your application: Notary Public Underwriters. Our commission application processing and production of your high-quality notary public stamp are among the fastest in the business.
Here’s the final piece of good news… a notary commission is modestly priced, considering its many benefits. For example, a 4-year Texas notary commission, including your notary stamp and record book, costs just $116.95.
