Multi-state Mobile Notary Question
Hello BP Members!!! (hopefully this is the right "post to" forum)
Prelude: Hopefully there's a relatively simple answer. I'm going through the process of getting my notary commission in the state of Virginia; to become a mobile signing agent. One of the requirements to receive your commission as a non-resident is that you regularly do business in VA. My better half is military so I'll be moving from state to state over the years. As a note: I also tele-work full-time so making sure I pay residential taxes as required is a different topic.
Question: How do I maintain my commission/start on the next commission for the next state for the next impending move?
Maybe answer/thoughts: The only thing I could maybe think of is to set up my own business entity that does business in the state I want a commission for. Would going through one of those electronic notary platforms allow me the ability to say I do business in X state?

I'm not following you. Wouldn't you only want/be able to provide notary services in the state you actually reside in? Why would you want to maintain your notary commission once you leave the area? I'm also curious - why the draw to do this at all? Is't there a cap on the amount you are allowed to charge. Seems like there would be very little money in this.
