The Impression You Make Is More Important Than The Appearance You Present

Mobile notaries are often told to dress "professionally" for their signings. Well, I'm going to buck that trend by telling you that - within reason, of course - it really doesn't matter how you dress. Casual pants, sportshirt, and loafers? Sure. Jeans, t-shirt, and sandals? Why not? No socks? No problem.

The people you notarize couldn't care less about what you're wearing. Just make an effort to be clean and presentable. What's important is that you're friendly, courteous, and respectful, and that you know what you're doing. Suit and tie? Meaningless. Good manners and quality work? With apologies to MasterCard, priceless.

The impression you make on - and leave with - your clients is not determined by your fashion statement. It's a product of the way you treat them and the competency with which you perform your job.

Sure, try to look your best. But just as importantly, be yourself. If you're at your best looking like you're dressed for a picnic or a day at the beach, there's no rule that says you can't be the best mobile notary in the world, just the way you are!
