When notary work slows down, many of us start scrambling for side gigs. But what if you could tap into a steady stream of income without stepping too far outside your notary skillset?
Behold... Field Inspections.
This under-the-radar opportunity is a perfect complement to your notary business, and it’s one of the specialties we highlight in Beyond Loan Signings: The Ultimate Guide to Monetizing Your Notary Commission with Specialty Work, co-written with the amazing Laura Biewer .
Field inspections involve visiting properties or businesses on behalf of clients to verify conditions, take photos, and complete simple checklists. Banks, insurance companies, and lenders frequently need these services.
As notaries, we’re already trusted to verify identities and documents. Field inspections leverage those same skills—attention to detail, professionalism, and punctuality. Plus, the flexibility means you can book these jobs around your existing appointments.
