Florida Notary Public Updates

While the U.S. isn’t officially in a recession, economists warn that it’s still possible. 

America’s gross domestic product—the total value of all finished goods and services made within a specified period—has decreased.  That is, consumer buying isn’t strong enough to require more vigorous manufacturing.  Inflation, too,  has negatively influenced household budgets.

Interest rates also play a part, with mortgage interest rates stuck at around 6.76% to 6.9% since early May 2025.

What does all this have to do with notaries? 

Time and again, American workers have relied on a few simple strategies to help them stay employed and productive in a tough economy.  For example, “recession proofing” their value as an employee by learning new skills or sharpening existing ones. 

One of the most popular ways to burnish a resume and offer a valuable set of skills to employers in any industry is to become a notary public. 

Savvy employees recognize that maintaining a notary commission, even when notarizing is not their key responsibility, sends an unspoken message about their professionalism and expanded skillset.  From the employer’s perspective, it’s super-convenient to have a notary at their beck-and-call, as well as reassuring to know the person notarizing a signature on sensitive business documents. 

Another plus… “notary public” has emerged in multiple news reports and financial consulting publications as a “recession proof” skill.  That is, even during an economic downturn, there are still many life events and related document types, across the public and private sectors, that require notarization.  People still buy homes, sign wills, POAs and other legal documents, give written affidavits… the list is extensive and the needs depend on factors beyond just a robust economy.
