I retired in 2020 and became a commissioned Notary shortly after that. I must admit to being nervous to get started. I was hoping to find a Notary in Sussex / Morris County that I could meet with and possibly shadow, to get some experience. Thank you, Mark

Hey NJNA Community, We’ve been working hard to get our curriculum uploaded to the Classroom tab. 18 chapters are done and 6 more to go. The course we’re working on today focuses on New Jersey Notaries who provide notarial services as part of their employment, and understanding the distinction between your role as a Notary Public and your role as an employee. It is very common for Notaries to be unclear about where that line is drawn. It is even more common for employers to misunderstand their role when they employ a Notary Public. To help educate employers, and to save Notaries from having uncomfortable conversations with supervisors or HR teams, I have created a general informational letter that Notaries can provide to their employer at any time. The letter is posted here in this thread, and it will also be included in Chapter 19 of the course, which will be uploaded shortly. -Patrick
