Review & Referral Scripts
Review & Referral Request Scripts for Notaries
Reviews and referrals hit different for mobile notaries and signing agents because people pick the notary who answers first—and who looks most trustworthy. The right scripts help you ask without sounding pushy, while keeping you compliant (no “coaching” signers, no discussing documents) and respectful of time-sensitive signings like loan packages and end-of-month closings.
1) Post-Job Google Review Request (General Notarization / Mobile Visit)
Use right after you finish the notarization, before you walk back to your car.
“All set—thank you. If you felt comfortable with how I checked ID, explained the notarial certificate, and kept things moving, would you be willing to leave a quick Google review? It helps people feel safe choosing a notary, especially for time-sensitive stuff. I’ll text you the link so it’s one tap. If you mention the city and that it was a mobile notary visit, that really helps.”
Tips for this scenario
- -Ask after you hand back IDs and finalize the journal entry—people feel ‘done’ and are more likely to follow through.
- -Make it easy: send a short text with the review link and a 1-line prompt (city + service type).
- -If it was a $25–$50 simple notarization, ask for “quick” and “1 minute” so it matches the size of the job.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Asking for a review during the signing while documents are open—this breaks focus and feels unprofessional.
!Saying “Leave me a 5-star review” instead of asking for an honest review about punctuality and professionalism.
!Not sending the link immediately—if they have to search your name later, they won’t do it.
!Arguing publicly about travel fees, hospital after-hours rates, or ID rules—future clients will read that thread.
!Letting referral requests sound like a pitch instead of a simple “feel free to pass my number along.”
