How it works
Notary work in Virginia
Work in Virginia is in person: mobile notary visits and loan signings near you, offered as clients request them. We do not have an office in Virginia. Remote online sessions are handled by our New Jersey notaries, so jobs here are in person. This is general information, not legal advice. The larger cities in Virginia that our pages cover include Richmond, Virginia Beach.
What you need
Requirements
- A smartphone, an email address, and a printer if you plan to take in-person loan signings

- A completed W-9 and our independent contractor agreement, signed

Virginia fees
What Virginia says about notary fees
The National Notary Association's state fee table lists Virginia's maximum fee as $10.
Those limits apply to the notarial act. Travel and service charges are treated separately and differently from state to state, so we confirm the Virginia rules with you first.
For context on the state: Wikipedia says Northern Virginia has over 3 million people, about 35% of Virginians, across 20 jurisdictions.
Figures: NNA, Notary fees by state (updated September 16, 2026). States change fees, so verify yours. This is general information only.
Larger cities
Where signings tend to come from
- Richmond (an independent city surrounded by Henrico County): places that generate documents include Capital One, Philip Morris USA, Dominion Energy and CarMax, with law, finance and government driving the economy.
- Virginia Beach (an independent city): signings come from sources such as NAS Oceana (the largest employer), GEICO, Stihl and the Christian Broadcasting Network, with defense and tourism among the major sectors.

Virginia details
Before you apply in Virginia
Notary commissions in Virginia are tied to Virginia State Corporation Commission. Before you apply, check that your commission is active and has at least 60 days left, because we cannot assign a job on a commission that is about to lapse.
Virginia has 95 counties and 38 independent cities. Tell us which ones you will travel to and which you prefer to avoid, and we only offer in-person jobs inside that range.
What it pays
Pay and terms
You are paid per assignment. Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Passing or countering never counts against you, in Virginia or anywhere else. A 1099 follows at year end.
A mobile notary visit is offered from $35 and a loan signing from $75, and plenty of offers come in above those amounts.
Jobs are offered one at a time as client requests come in near your home ZIP, around Virginia Beach, Richmond, Norfolk or anywhere else you are willing to travel. There is no guaranteed volume.
This page is not legal advice. Honest note: we are a young company, and we keep the team small so the contractors who join early get the work as it grows.
Use the application on this page, with your commission and E&O uploaded (plus the NNA certificate if you want loan signings). When everything is there and the dates check out, approval can be automatic, followed by an email to sign the agreement and add your W-9 before offers arrive by text or email.
