Every National Bosses’ Day is a special day for me. It is a day where I can celebrate being my own Boss to both my Notary Service and Wedding Officiant businesses. When I began my journey, there were so many naysayers. I had people that I thought were in my corner saying that I needed
With prior scheduling, most couples look to their Pastor or a local Minister to marry them. Many of the local Ministers and Pastors are also Notaries Public. They, with proper ordainment, already have the authority to marry these couples. Some couples choose to have a large formal ceremony. Some couples choose to have a small elopement before their larger ceremony. Some, just want the no-frills paperwork signing. If by chance you want the quick route to marriage, or if you just want to legalize the process before your ‘Big Shebang’ Ceremony later, a Notary Public might be your better option.
Although you should honor your Grandparents every day of the year, today has been selected to single them out. So why don’t you? Go ahead, call your unsuspecting Grandma and Grandpa up and tell them how you truly feel about them. Did you know that Grandparents’ Day originated in 1978 and in the United States

FYI: On this Tuesday, July 4, 2017, Notary Public Service WILL be available as regularly scheduled. I do not take OFF on holidays, well, unless there is an absolute emergency.

Whether you are in a Virtual Office or a Brick-and-Mortar one, Happy Administrative Professionals’ Day to all who serve. Service through Carpal Tunnel, endless days and nights at the computer, suffering from eye strain (or not). Take it from this Notary Public, being an Administrative Professional can be a tough job!
Since I hung out, basically, ALL DAY in the Downtown, Greenville area, you’d wonder why this post is featuring the great seal of Anderson County, South Carolina.
An eye-opening, early Monday morning assignment for an Affidavit of Residence was conducted at the center for a well-known employee we’d assisted a time before. However, the last time we met with the signer, it was off-location.

Often, I receive emails from different people regarding what we CAN and CANNOT do as Notaries Public here in South Carolina.

One of my main focuses on this blog is to talk about situations involving Seniors and Senior Care. As I sit here in this hospital, as I have for several days, I realize that I have neglected to talk about the serious issue of what to do should the minor child of a parent become sick. Issues such as….
A very complex, private assignment was carried out at this location on the afternoon of Friday, December 23, 2016.

While visiting their loved one, who made an unexpected trip to the Greenville Memorial Hospital Emergency Room, then up to the Heart Institute Intensive Care Unit, one of a patient’s relatives made a call to GreenvilleNotary.com. While the Notary Public was on the way to take care of another situation, information was provided via text to get to the signers in urgent need of assistance.
The call rang in at 7:08 a.m. Yes, here at GreenvilleNotary.com, we answer early calls, late calls, all hours of the day calls. (I feel like I’m intertwined in a Dr. Seuss book.) Although traffic was rough, the challenge was met for some pretty rough and ready signers who were in a jam with documents

It’s great to work with new title companies. Well, it can be. Notary Public Signing Agents must be careful in their dealings with companies that offer jobs in our areas. This is something essential that i teach when I have my seminars and consultations with local Notaries Public. Promises to pay and large signing fees
A late-night signing on behalf of a not-necessarily-on-purpose repeat customer was performed on Monday, November 28, 2016. The initial phone call for service rang in at almost exactly 9 o’ clock the morning of for the caller’s mother. There was a predicament because the relative’s mobility was limited. After a few moments on the phone
“Being thankful and giving thanks goes a long way. So, for today, we would like for you to be thankful for everything you’ve experienced in life. Some of us go through struggles, are delivered from them, may still be going through them. Learning to be thankful for what you do have, as opposed to what you do not have, can be all the difference between a fool and being wise.”

On the run early this morning, GreenvilleNotary.com Owner and Notary Public Sonita M. Leak received a message from none other than Temeka Cook, Owner and Sole Proprietor at EventMaker, LLC. Temeka is a repeat offen… um, er, uh… customer of our notary service for a reason. She knows that she can rely on fast, accurate and
Yes, not many people I’ve come across today realized that it was a federally-recognized holiday. Even I, as I showed up at the front door to my local post office didn’t realize that it would be closed. So, along with the post office, local banks followed suit. Needless to say, although today is a federally
Notary service for those who are sick and/or shut-in is a delicate process. Today’s signing was no different from the others we’ve seen where signers are unable to leave their home, an assisted living facility or hospital bed in order to have their signatures notarized on items. Another issue for those signing may be mobility,

Saturday night is LIVE AND POPPING in Downtown, Greenville! So much so that the streets are crowded with people and the traffic, at an almost stand still. That doesn’t prevent the notary from getting the job done, however. A signing originally scheduled for Spill the Beans coffee-house was diverted to where our signers on a
GreenvilleNotary.com was OPEN for business as per usual on Labor Day. Two notary assignments happened on this fairly festive day where we celebrate not working.

“Proud to be a part of the Keller Williams family of REALTORS®, as we TRULY can call on one another in the time of need.” Off to a fresh start of contracts for the week, Debra was in need of a notary public for service to her clients on the weekend, and Sunday no less.
A notarization doesn’t stop the show. While in attendance of Freshman Bulldog activities at Berea High School; still on the job. A repeat customer needed a document notarized, and she needed it… well… THEN! The Financial Declaration of said signer was signed by our customer, her signature notarized by State of South Carolina Notary Public
In the evening of Friday, August 5, 2016, I received a very frantic phone call from a repeat customer who was at wits end. Although we were in the middle of family happenings, service to this customer would still soon be realized. One of the perks of being a GreenvilleNotary.com customer is that we
Late evening service was requested on the evening of Friday, July 29, 2016 for two South Carolina residents, one traveling from Abbeville County and the other residing in Duncan.

“Busy day, busy day.” So when we thought the day couldn’t get any busier, the last signing of the day occurred at Panera Bread, 6015 Wade Hampton Boulevard, Taylors, SC 29687. It must have been “Panera Bread Night“, like Thursday, April 21st was “Jimmy John’s Day” because the restaurant was packed! Due to the very private
“The afternoon appointment didn’t come without its flaws.” The afternoon and evening phone lines were jumping at GreenvilleNotary.com, so much so that we had to use a little get-up-and-go power. This is usually accomplished by a healthy, hearty, BIG OLE NAP on the part of Owner Sonita Leak. A local party had three documents she
When the caller dialed into GreenvilleNotary.com for the second time in his life, it was because…” he performed a search online to find us. Thanks a bunch.

“A repeat caller who called into GreenvilleNotary.com previously, called us ONCE AGAIN!” The relative of two signers called once again, however, this time, the signing took place in a different location than the first.

This is the first signing we’ve had to conduct at a McDonald’s fast-food restaurant in a long time.

“This is an event you don’t want to miss!” No, it’s not the most exciting stuff in the world, however, having these Very Important Documents signed and sealed may be the difference between having your loved ones covered, assets protected or falling into the pitfalls of Eminent Domain controlling your estate, fighting and family disconnect.
“Hey ya’ll, there’s a new restaurant opening up on the West End, yes, on the West Side of town…” It’s name? GB&D, which stands for Golden Brown and Delicious. Closely related to The Village Grind where many on this part of town know its name, right next door will be chuck-full-o’, not just their famous
A Private Assignment was conducted bright and early on the morning of Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Due to the privacy of the event, can only inform you that it in fact did occur; also, that we, as notaries public, can and do perform other operations than signing paperwork.
