Hi, I'm Mariangel, a scheduler at TCSS. 👋 We had a seller package that was almost finished, and the notary had already completed the signing. At the very last minute, the title company realized they had missed two documents (5 pages) and needed them signed ASAP. Thankfully, the notary had a mobile printer in their vehicle, so they were able to print, sign, and resolve the order on the spot! It saved the day and avoided a trip back. I’m curious to see how you all work: Do you keep a mobile printer in your car for these types of situations, or do you prefer to print everything at your office/home before heading out? How often does having a mobile printer actually save a closing for you?

We occasionally see notaries upload only the signed pages instead of scanning the entire package. The problem? ❌ Missing pages can go unnoticed. ❌ It's difficult to verify that the package is complete. ❌ It's hard to know which document a signature belongs to. Full scanbacks allow title to review the entire file before shipping. They can also help keep funding on track if the originals haven't arrived yet and provide a backup in case documents are delayed or lost in transit. A few extra minutes scanning can prevent delays, corrections, and a lot of unnecessary stress later. Have you ever been tempted to scan only the signature pages?

I have been a mobile notary signing agent and general notary for over 25 yrs and am trying to expand my business in Litchfield county, CT
