New NJNA Member Assistance Line The New Jersey Notary Association has established a dedicated phone line for NJNA members who need help with notarizations or questions about New Jersey notary practice. This number is also provided directly to New Jersey legislators and government offices so they can reach us quickly when questions arise regarding notarial law, education, or compliance matters. Calls to this line receive priority response, meaning messages left here will typically be returned much faster than calls placed to our standard office phone line. Important details • Calls to this line receive preferential response priority • The number is reserved for NJNA members and government officials • The number will not be published on our website • We strongly recommend saving the number in your phone If your question involves a document, you may take a clear photo and text it to this number along with your name and a short explanation. This helps us review the situation more quickly. Specific details of calls, messages, and submitted documents are treated as confidential and will not be shared. Generalized details may be published to the "Ask NJNA" thread, if the question and answer may be beneficial to other members. If published, names and/or client details will NOT be included.

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
