Testimonials

  • When I have a question or concern about a notary questions I email California Notary Mentor. I have found this service to be very helpful and efficient. I would recommend California Notary Mentor to all notaries as a wonderful resource. Hope you try it – I’m sure you will be as pleased as I am with the service. It’s so handy to be able to send off an email rather than having to call.

  • I have used CA Notary mentor's services for few times already. Its been a great resource when I have questions regarding specific notarization. On every occasion, they have responded quickly with accurate information allowing me to provide remarkable notary experience to my clients.

  • I met Nathan at the 2012 NNA Conference. Very well presented! We traded contact information and kept in touch. I was in the process of completing my very first Signing on a Loan Modification. Nathan was more than willing to get into contact with me to go over the documents so I would be more comfortable performing my duties. He was very professional and did an over view of each document until I understood entirely. I would like to commend him for being so patient and willing to help a fellow NSA. I would have been a nervous wreck without him.

  • I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Nathan Notary today. I am an experienced Notary myself, but am starting a new business venture as a mobile notary. I called him randomly because I liked the looks of his website and his catchy name. I had a lot of questions in regards to his business, and what has made him successful. Nathan was so kind, professional and helpful. I recommend him for any sevices he offers, and if you are a fellow notary like myself and have questions, don't hesistate to contact him. I will be referring him business in his area when I can as well.
