Mistakes Happen: What a Good Notary Should Do When an Error Occurs

Nobody’s perfect. Even with training, experience, and attention to detail, mistakes can occasionally happen in the world of notarizations and loan signings. The difference between a good notary and a great one is how they handle it.

🔍 Common Errors That Can Occur:

  • Missed initials or signatures

  • Incorrect notary seal placement

  • Dates filled in incorrectly

  • Forgotten scanbacks or shipping labels

These mistakes can delay funding, stress out clients, and impact your reputation. But here’s the key:

A professional notary owns the error and fixes it—quickly, humbly, and without excuses.


✅ Here’s How I Handle Mistakes at Ronda Boice Consulting LLC:

  • I Respond Immediately: As soon as I'm notified, I stop what I’m doing and prioritize correction.

  • I Never Charge for Fixes: If it's my error, the correction is 100% on me—period.

  • I Communicate Proactively: I update title, escrow, and the client with my ETA and confirm resolution when complete.

  • I Learn and Log It: Every fix is a reminder to double-check even more thoroughly next time.


🛡️ What This Means for You

When you hire me, you’re not just getting someone who knows how to notarize a document—you’re getting a partner who protects your reputation by being accountable and dependable.

Things happen—but I make sure they don’t happen twice.
