Working as an independent or mobile notary means you set your appointments and keep your fees, and you also handle the benefits an employer would provide. Health coverage is easy to defer when income comes appointment by appointment.
The challenge notaries face
Independent notaries in Washington often build income from many small jobs, with earnings that vary by the week. Health coverage can feel hard to arrange. The main barrier is usually clear, reliable guidance for an independent notary.
