General information only

Everything on First Signing — articles, the free checklist, and the $49 Playbook — is general educational information about becoming a notary signing agent. Notary law is state law, and nothing here is legal advice.

No professional relationship

Reading this site or buying the Playbook does not create any professional or client relationship with us.

State rules change

Notary commissions, fees, bonding, and signing-agent requirements vary by state and change over time. Always verify requirements, fees, and procedures with your Secretary of State before acting.

We can't promise outcomes

We explain the path honestly — the real startup costs, the certification truth, and what it takes to get hired with no experience — but no information on this site guarantees signings, income, or employment.

Before making business decisions, consider consulting a qualified professional in your state.
