If you’re a commissioned notary in Pennsylvania and all you’re offering is general notarizations, you’re leaving money—and opportunity—on the table. The Commonwealth allows notaries to offer a wide range of services beyond stamps and signatures. Many are low effort, high profit, and largely untapped.
Here are five lesser-known but powerful services you can add to your notary business today.
1. Apostille Concierge Services
Most people don’t even know what an apostille is—until they’re urgently trying to file international paperwork. Apostille requests are common for adoptions, international marriage, dual citizenship, and study abroad.
As a notary, you can notarize the documents, handle the apostille request with the PA Department of State, and return them to the client—ready to use abroad. You’re solving a legal logistics problem, and people will pay top dollar for it.
- What to charge: $75–$250 per document + add rush fees
- Bonus: Bundle pickup/drop-off or offer priority same-day service
2. Power of Attorney Specialization
Powers of attorney (POAs) are some of the most frequently notarized documents in PA. But here’s the twist—most clients have questions or need help navigating the paperwork. That’s your lane.
By becoming a POA specialist, you’re not giving legal advice—you’re offering clarity, convenience, and confident document execution. Partner with elder care planners, hospitals, and estate planning attorneys who need a trusted notary on call.
3. Identity Verification Services
With remote work, telehealth, and legal compliance on the rise, businesses need help verifying identities for employment forms (like I-9s), benefits claims, and vendor agreements.
Market yourself as an “Independent Identity Verification Agent” and offer mobile verification for HR departments, remote employees, and real estate clients needing compliance-driven oversight.
- Typical rate: $40–$100 per verification session
4. Structured Settlement Signing Services
When someone wins a lawsuit and receives structured payments, there’s usually a complex signing process involved—especially if they sell those payments. These deals require multiple affidavits, statements, and identity confirmations.
You can position yourself as the preferred mobile notary for settlement companies. They value speed, reliability, and a pro who knows how to walk clients through a high-value package.
5. Adoption and Surrogacy Support Signings
Adoption and surrogacy agreements often require emotional intelligence in addition to a notary stamp. These clients are navigating sensitive transitions and highly personal documents.
Offer calm, compliant, trauma-informed signing services for agencies and individuals in this space. It’s meaningful work, and it can become a long-term referral stream if you serve it well.
