I strongly recommend you get some training before you launch your permit running services. The best I’ve found is Cynotary. You can find her course linked here. 

I also have a YouTube Video where I interviewed a fellow notary who is making permit running a main feature of his business. You can see that at the top of this blog post.

I hope I have inspired you to think outside of the Notary box and really consider growing your service list to add permit running today.

Until next week- climb outside of that box
