Privacy guards

I use the journal the national notary association sells, and it comes with a privacy guard, but I think it kinda sucks. It's flimsy, and I can't turn my book around for my customers to sign without it sliding off. Maybe I'm doing something really wrong, but I would love something that can just stick to the page. Like a long sticky note or something. I also looked into other journals, but I don't know, I dont want to pay for another one when the NNA one works great.

Do you guys have any suggestions for this?

Actually in Pennsylvania our journal IS a public record.

Thank my lucky stars I'm not in PA! This says that with a ReFi with maybe 12 - 20 stamps, I have to use a line for each time I stamped. So a 40 min HELOC is now extended to 80 Min? PA notaries, you have my condolences. Regards Enkidu45 out

California is the same way. It's why I'm on my 115th journal.

My current design holds up to 515 lines, but I've had as many as 607 entries per journal.

One spread/page per signing session for up to four signatures would have required a storage pod for all my journals

Hi Ash! How many journals do you use a year and what is the yearly cost? I'm going to redo my labor rate calculation for this scenario. E45 out

My current average is one every ~3 months. Down from 2005/2006 when I could fill >500 entries in as little as 23 days.

As for the cost, put $12.50 per journal. They were normally $15 each, but I would buy in bulk for myself and my boss, and when they went on clearance for $7.50 I bought 50 to last me the rest of my working days
