Business cards · Notaries & signing agents
Trust starts with the handshake. The notary card you leave behind should look like you checked every line.
A good notary business card says "Notary Public" or "Notary Signing Agent", your name, the counties you cover and how to book you, on paper you can write an appointment on. Leave off your official seal. We make public notary business cards from 52 $US for 100, proofed by a person, shipping in 3–4 business days to about 3 weeks after proof approval.
Write-on uncoated from 52 $US for 100 · gold foil on 32pt cotton from 310 $US for 250
Our Standard line ships in 3–4 business days; cotton and foil take about 3 weeks. Both after you approve your proof (estimates), with free shipping within the continental US.
We haven't published a notary case study yet, so here are three design explorations built for the work notaries actually do, then real cards we've made for the professions you sit across the table from: lenders, appraisers, attorneys and agents.

Full production: embossed emblem + gold foil on cotton
Your initials in a circular emblem, pressed into 32pt cotton so it reads by shadow, with your name in gold foil. It feels official without being your official seal.

Order uncoated business cards"A notary's card should look like it was proofread twice. Thick paper, one metal, nothing shouting."
Loan signing agent business cards are read by the title officer, the escrow assistant and the loan officer, not the borrower, and that's where the next job comes from. They see dozens of cards. What they keep is the one that says, in one line, that you're certified, available and local: "Notary Signing Agent · Mobile · [county]", a direct cell, an email, and a booking link. Put your certification on it if you hold one, and follow the certifying body's rules for their mark. Leave the commission number off: it expires, and the card shouldn't.
Thirty-two point cotton is about as thick as a credit card and soft at the edges, like good stationery. A pen glides on it and the ink stays put. Gold foil sits slightly into the surface; run a thumb across your name and you can feel it. An embossed emblem reads by shadow: under a window it rises, under flat office light it's almost a whisper. That restraint is the point.
1
In California the official seal may be used only for notarial acts, and other states have similar rules. A seal or stamp impression on a marketing card can be a violation. Our fix: we design a seal-style emblem from your initials or business name instead, and never reproduce a commission seal or stamp. Check your state's notary handbook.
2
Gloss, silk, soft touch and laminate resist ballpoint. Notaries write appointment times and reference numbers on cards. Our fix: uncoated or cotton, at least on the back.
3
Commission numbers and expiry dates change; print them and the card has a shelf life. Our fix: we leave them off unless your state requires them, and put the stable details (name, title, counties, booking link) on the card.
4
Some states require non-attorney notaries who advertise to include a notice that they aren't attorneys and can't give legal advice, especially in languages other than English. Our fix: tell us your state and languages, and we'll leave room on the proof for the exact wording your state requires.
Small text in foil fills in. We set contact lines in ink and keep foil for your name and emblem.
Uncoated 14pt is the plain, fast option: no coating, so a ballpoint writes cleanly. Cotton is the step up: soft, thick, and it takes letterpress and foil with a little bite. Matte is smooth and glare-free but coated, so it's a poor writing surface.
32pt is two sheets bonded into one; it doesn't flex when you hand it across a table. 48pt is three, and a statement that most notaries don't need.
A metal film pressed in with heat and a die. Matte gold reads calm; bright gold reads bold. One die per colour. Foil text stays 7 pt or larger, so contact lines go in ink.
gold foil business cardsflat foil on silkcustom foil on cotton
The paper is pressed between two metal dies so your emblem rises off the card, no ink needed. It reads by shadow. On a single sheet the back shows the mirror image; on 32pt duplex it stays clean. Your emblem, not your official seal.
Ink pressed into thick cotton so every line sits in a slight crevice. One colour (navy, charcoal, black) is all a notary card needs.
Upload your logo or just type your name and title. Peppermint Studio sets it on a real card spec in a couple of minutes: cotton, foil, an embossed emblem. It's a rendering, not a proof. A designer builds the print file and a person checks every line before production.

Your name, "Notary Public" or "Notary Signing Agent", the services you offer (mobile, loan signings, remote online if you do it), the counties or areas you cover, a direct phone number, email and a booking link or QR code. Add any disclosure your state requires. Leave off your official seal and, usually, your commission number.
Generally, no. In California the official seal may be used only for notarial acts, and other states have similar rules. We design a seal-style emblem from your initials or business name instead, and we never reproduce a commission seal or stamp. Check your state's notary handbook.
Most notaries leave it off: it changes when you renew, and it isn't needed to book you. If your state requires it in advertising, we'll add it in small type in ink.
A notary public card leads with "Notary Public" and your service area. A signing agent card leads with "Notary Signing Agent" or "Loan Signing Agent", and is written for title, escrow and lending offices: availability, counties, certification and a fast way to book.
If you hold the certification, the NNA publishes a usage guide for its certification mark, which covers business cards. Send us the official mark files and we'll set it exactly as the guide asks. We're not affiliated with the NNA.
Yes. Rules differ by state, so Texas notary business cards and California ones, for example, may need different wording. Some states require non-attorney notaries who advertise to say they aren't attorneys and can't give legal advice, especially when advertising in languages other than English. Tell us your state and languages and we'll leave room for the exact wording.
Uncoated and cotton. Matte is coated, and silk, soft touch, gloss and laminate resist a ballpoint. If you write appointment times on your cards, choose uncoated (from 52 $US for 100) or cotton.
From 52 $US for 100 uncoated, 210 $US for 500 with flat gold foil, and from 310 $US for 250 with gold foil on 32pt cotton. Every order includes a free proof checked by a person and free shipping within the continental US.
Uncoated ships in 3–4 business days after proof approval, flat foil on silk in about 7 business days, and cotton, foil and embossing in about 3 weeks. These are estimates, not delivery guarantees.
Yes. We match a hex colour to the nearest Pantone and tell you how far it moved, for ink, foil colour or a painted edge.
