It all started when I was in search of a business mailing address to use for my then-travel company. I came across anytime mailbox and decided to fill out the application to get a mailing address. A notarization was required for the application. It was late, and I was disappointed that I would have to wait until the morning to visit a UPS store or a bank to have the document notarized. I noticed that they provided online notary services through notarize.  I initially thought it sounded like a scam, but when I inquired, I discovered it was the real deal. I was able to get my document notarized that night without having to leave the house or search online for one that would be open the next day. I was able to converse briefly with the online notary and learned what a notary was and how I could become an online notary. From there, B. Elise Notary Services LLC was formed.
