Notary Side Hustles

If you’re a notary looking to boost your income, the good news is: you’re perfectly positioned to stack multiple high-paying side hustles.

With your existing credentials, trust factor, and client base, it’s easy to layer on extra services that complement your core business.

Here are the top side hustles for notaries in 2025—most of which require little additional training or startup cost.

1. Apostille Agent Services

Apostilles agents are used to certify documents for international use. Many clients don’t know where to start—and that’s where you come in.

• High demand from immigration, adoption, business, and academic clients

• Often pays $75–$250 per job

• Can be done by mail (no travel required!)

✅ Great for mobile notaries already handling legal docs

2. Fingerprinting Services

Background checks and licenses often require fingerprinting. Notaries can offer ink or LiveScan fingerprinting and charge $40–$100 per client.

• Add it to your office or mobile services

• Partner with local employers or background check vendors

• Minimal equipment + quick appointments

👉 Excellent recurring revenue potential

3. Credit Repair Services

If you’re comfortable with digital tools and communication, credit repair is a scalable service that’s always in demand.

• Help clients dispute errors and boost scores

• Charge monthly fees or per-result

• Use automation tools for client onboarding

💡 Bonus: Offer credit repair in tandem with loan closings

4. Legal Document Preparation (State-Specific)

In certain states, notaries can become legal document preparers and assist with:

• Divorce filings

• Estate planning docs (wills, power of attorney)

• Business formations (LLCs)

• Immigration

• Bankruptcy

• Evictions

You don’t give legal advice—you simply help clients complete and file documents correctly.

⚖️ Check your state rules (e.g., Florida, Louisiana, and Nevada allow ease)

5. Wedding Officiant

In states like Florida, notaries can legally officiate weddings.

• Charge $100–$300 per ceremony

• Offer mobile or beach-style ceremonies

• Easy to market via social and local listings

💍 A fun, rewarding, and low-overhead service

6. Tax Preparation

During tax season, you can help individuals or small businesses prepare returns.

• Offer flat-fee or per-form pricing

• Combine with bookkeeping or business consulting services

📅 Great Q1 income booster

7. Field Inspections

Lenders and insurance companies need eyes on properties, vehicles, or business assets. Photo inspection is a thing!

• Take photos, verify occupancy, fill out forms

• Pays $30–$75 per job

• Often assigned in batches by area

🛻 Ideal for mobile notaries already on the road
