  • Foundational Fridays: Mapping the Act - Venue vs. County of Residence

    Welcome to this episode where we tackle one of the most misunderstood parts of being a notary. Join Eddie Montes Travis and Marylyn Lee Trotter as they clarify the major differences between where you live and where you are actually performing your duties. Getting the venue correct is a basic requirement that ensures every document you sign is legally binding and professional.

    • Subject: Defining the Venue. This term refers to the physical location where the notary and the signer are standing at the exact moment the document is notarized.
    • Subject: County of Residence. This is the location where your official commission is recorded, which might differ significantly from the venue of a mobile signing.
    • Subject: Avoiding Errors. Incorrectly listing your residence instead of the actual venue is a common mistake that can lead to rejected documents and legal liability.
    • Subject: Practical Examples. Whether you are at a country diner or a client's porch, you must always record the county where the signing occurs, not your home base.

    Understanding these foundational elements will help you avoid the most common pitfalls in the industry. Keeping your certificates accurate protects both you and your clients from future headaches. Please make sure to subscribe and like the podcast to help us bring you more helpful tips every week.

    Show Notes:
    • The difference between venue and residence.
    • How to correctly identify the county for the notarial certificate.
    • Why physical location matters for legal compliance.
    • Common mistakes made during mobile signings in rural areas.

  • Foundational Fridays: The Golden Rule of Physical Presence

    Welcome to another episode of Foundational Fridays where we look at the most important rules for every professional.
