A tool to help notaries legally bundle services to increase revenue beyond the capped fee

App Concept

NotaryProfit Stack

An app that helps mobile notaries build profitable service packages by bundling the capped $10 notarization with high-margin add-on services like travel fees, document preparation, loan signing, and mobile convenience charges. The app provides compliant pricing templates, automated invoice generation, and route optimization to maximize earnings.

Key Features

Compliant pricing engine that calculates maximum allowable travel fees and add-on service rates per state
Customizable service bundles (e.g., 'Mobile Notary + Document Print + ID Verification')
Automated mileage-based travel fee calculator
Integrated invoicing and payment collection with surcharge for credit cards

Target Users: Mobile notaries and notary signing agents in states with low fee caps, operating as solo practitioners or small businesses.

Revenue Model: Freemium with $14.99/mo pro tier that unlocks advanced pricing tools, route optimization, and payment processing (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction).
