As our society grows more connected, the ways we serve have expanded beyond the traditional desk to mobile offices and secure online platforms. Delivering trusted notarizations - in person, on the move, and online celebrates this evolution and reminds us that no matter the method, the notary's commitment to accuracy and ethical service remains steadfast.

Message from Rodney Webb: “In‑person notarization remains the gold standard for public trust. When a signer sits across the table, I can verify their identity directly, ensure they understand the document, and witness their signature without doubt or delay. This face‑to‑face interaction builds confidence and prevents fraud. Meeting in person lets me confirm every page, answer questions immediately, and provide the reassurance the client deserves. It’s a personal safeguard that technology can complement but never fully replace.”

Message from Tornette Proctor: “Being a mobile notary signing agent, aka TIPIC, conducting loan signings allows me to bring convenience and peace of mind directly to the client’s doorstep. This flexibility means families can finalize mortgage documents in the comfort of their homes, without the stress of travel or scheduling conflicts. Each appointment becomes a personal experience—efficient, professional, and reassuring—meeting people where they are, when they need it most.”

Message from Debbie Best-Schniedmill: “Serving as a Maryland‑commissioned RON notary gives me the extraordinary ability to help people no matter where they are—across the country or anywhere in the world—so long as the request meets Maryland’s statute. Clients who are traveling, deployed, relocating, or simply unable to meet in person can still complete critical documents securely and efficiently. With identity proofing, credential analysis, and a recorded session, RON offers transparency and protection that strengthen trust in every transaction.”

The 2026 Maryland Notary Public Day Conference will be an unparalleled two-day educational and networking experience for ALL NOTARY PUBLIC PROFESSIONALS NATIONWIDE!
Bridging In‑Person, Mobile, and Remote Notarization
This year’s conference offers notaries public an exceptional opportunity to deepen their understanding of how one profession can operate confidently and competently across every platform. Whether you choose to (1) sit face‑to‑face with a signer to verify identity, ensure comprehension, and witness a signature with clarity and certainty; (2) serve clients whose travel or scheduling limitations require flexible, mobile support; or (3) exercise the remarkable ability to assist individuals across the country - or anywhere in the world - through remote notarization, you will gain valuable insight and practical guidance by attending this conference.
A Two‑Day Experience Elevating Knowledge, Skill, and Professional Reach
The 2026 Maryland Notary Public Day Conference begins Friday evening (November 6) with a 3-hour virtual session from 6 pm to 9 pm, followed by an in-person general session, including workshops, on Saturday (November 7) from 9 am to 5:30 pm.
The virtual session on Friday will consist of a roundtable discussion with notaries on topics ranging from loan closings to becoming a wedding officiant. You will have a chance to hear from our vendors such as NotaryAct, NotaryAssist, and PageSeparator. The evening will culminate with our guest speaker, Brooke Merritt, on the challenging topic of deed fraud: The Perfect Storm: How Deed Fraud is Changing the Notary Public Office.
The in-person general sessions feature top industry guest speakers. The in-person Saturday workshops focus on a variety of topics supporting "Delivering Trusted Notarizations - In-Person, On the Move, and Online." We eagerly anticipate their inspiring messages to notaries public.
