5) Notary 2 Notary
Notary 2 Notary can kind of be thought of as an East Coast compliment to the above resource. Based out of Virginia, and run by Vanessa Terry, Notary 2 Notary has built out a full team and community that serves as a great model for any entrepreneur who wants to full send or somebody just looking to get their feet wet and get comfortable. They provide materials for marketing, sample sessions, and show you how they and other notaries have gone about building their businesses. Vanessa does a great job of interviewing others and interacting with the notary community at large. We can honestly say that the Notary industry would be worse off without the presence of Notary 2 Notary and recommend following any of their socials.

4) Notary Stars
Notary Stars is run by Ronnie Mickle and is based out of Arizona, but is a nationwide organization. As far as true “communities” go, this is one of the best resources for notaries looking for a no BS, thorough membership based community. They also put out LOTS of valuable information on their YouTube channel and engage with notaries on various levels. Whether its their interviews that they do with various leaders in the Notary space, or their training that they provide to new Notaries to make sure they are up to speed, they’re one of the best resources in the business, especially if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of it (as a notary, you definitely do!)

2) NNA
What is there to say about the NNA? Well they’re the longest established entity on this list. The NNA was around long before Remote Online Notarization was becoming the norm. The NNA still remains one of the top resources for info on Notarization laws and regulations. They keep their website up to date and you’ll be hard pressed to find a notary that is unfamiliar or who hasn’t used them as a resource at one point in time or another. Although a bit more “corporate” than the rest of the resources on this list, they still make informative and valuable social media posts, and don’t show any signs of slowing down in the future.
The NNA also offers membership with phone support. A valuable resource indeed.
