Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow your notary business, becoming a Notary Signing Agent (NSA) can open the door to impressive income opportunities. Many signing agents earn between $75 and $200 or more per signing, with the flexibility to work part-time or scale to a full-time career.
At Notary2Notary, our mission is to equip notaries with the skills, tools, and confidence they need to thrive. We’ve helped thousands of individuals across the country transform their side hustle into a profitable business.
In this blog, we’re sharing practical, proven strategies to help you maximize your earnings as a Notary Signing Agent—whether you’re brand new or ready to take your career to the next level. Let’s dive into the exact steps you can take today to start seeing real financial growth.
1. Know Your Worth: Understand the Earning Potential
A Notary Signing Agent is a commissioned notary specially trained to handle loan document signings, primarily for real estate transactions. These assignments require precision, professionalism, and reliability—and they pay accordingly.
On average, a single loan signing can pay between $75 and $200, depending on your location, experience, and the complexity of the signing. Full-time agents often complete 3–5 signings per day, easily surpassing $1,000 in earnings each week.
Your income depends on several key factors:
- Geographic demand
- Your availability (evenings and weekends increase opportunities)
- Type of documents signed
- Whether you’re working directly with title companies or through signing services
Tip: Know your value. You’re not just stamping papers—you’re delivering peace of mind and legal assurance.
2. Invest in Professional Training and Certification
To consistently land high-paying signings, professional training is non-negotiable. Clients want confidence that you know what you’re doing—and certification gives them that assurance.
Our Notary2Notary training programs offer:
- Step-by-step courses on becoming a Signing Agent
- Loan document walkthroughs
- Live mentorship and support
- Real business strategies, not just theory
We’ve seen our students go from zero experience to six-figure incomes by following the exact systems we teach.

3. Create Multiple Income Streams
Your notary commission can open doors beyond loan signings. Here are additional services that can increase your income:
- Apostille services
- I-9 verifications
- Mobile fingerprinting
- Field inspections
- Remote Online Notarization (RON)
This diversity protects your income during slower seasons and allows you to serve a broader range of clients.
4. Set Smart, Competitive Rates
Pricing is critical. While it’s tempting to accept low-paying jobs starting out, it’s important to charge what you’re worth based on:
- Local market rates
- Travel time
- Document complexity
- Experience and certifications
You don’t need to race to the bottom. Professionalism, punctuality, and quality can justify premium rates.
Pro Tip: Many students don’t realize they can negotiate. We teach rate-setting and negotiation skills in our advanced training—because earning more starts with asking for more.
5. Master Marketing: Build a Personal Brand
Success isn’t just about skills—it’s about being visible. Build your presence with:
- A Google Business Profile
- Social media pages (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn)
- Local SEO strategies (list your business on directories)
Approach real estate agents, attorneys, lenders, and local businesses. Most people don’t know they need a notary—until they do. Make sure they think of you first.

6. Stay Organized and Professional
Efficiency = profit. The better you manage your schedule, documents, and expenses, the more you can earn.
Tools to consider:
- Notary Gadget for scheduling and accounting
- Mileage and expense tracking apps
- A digital filing system for repeat clients and tax prep
Reliability, punctuality, and professionalism are what turn first-time clients into lifelong partners.
7. Avoid Common Mistakes That Limit Earnings
Many Notary Signing Agents hit income plateaus due to a few key mistakes:
- Accepting every low-paying offer without negotiating
- Poor communication or missed appointments
- Neglecting renewal deadlines or lacking required supplies
- Failure to invest in learning and growing
By staying informed and intentional, you avoid burnout and maintain consistent, growing revenue.
