Welcome to Notary Notes: Real Talk for New and Aspiring Notaries

Practical tips, how-to guides, and real-world advice for new notaries.

Hi, I'm Adonia Johnson — and I'm so glad you're here.

I got my first notary commission way back in 1994 in Oklahoma (shoutout to anyone who remembers when you had to actually read a paper map).

Since then, I’ve been commissioned in Texas and Virginia.

At first, it was always for them — the bosses, the companies, the “Can you just notarize this real quick?” crowd.

But in 2023, I flipped the script.

This time, I became a notary for ME.

And I built my own mobile notary business, Adonia Johnson Signature and Screening Services, because I knew I could do it better—and with way less attitude than half the folks out here acting like notary work is the Da Vinci Code.

Why Notary Notes?

Because too many new notaries and confused clients are out here getting bad advice, side-eyes, or straight-up ignored.
Because asking a simple question shouldn't feel like walking into a courtroom.
Because knowledge should come with clarity—not condescension.

That’s why.
This space is for the notaries, the clients, the curious, and the people just trying to get their shiitake mushrooms together without losing their minds.

What You’ll Find Here

Twice a week, I’m dropping notes that actually make sense:

• How-to guides without the attitude

• Tips for getting your notary hustle off the ground (or getting your documents handled right)

• Common mistakes and how to skip the drama

• FAQs because Google doesn’t always cut it

• Behind-the-scenes confessions from real mobile notary life

• Business-building realness for those ready to level up

Some posts will talk directly to teach.
Some will share a funny story or a disaster story.
All of it will be worth your time.

No filler, no fifty-paragraph inspirational speeches, no flexing for likes.
