The training and support from the Michigan Notary Association is UNMATCHED. In a world where the laws are constantly shifting, continuous education isn't just helpful, it's MANDATORY. Sure you can pay once for a single class, but even more valuable are the regular meetings to get more in-depth information on a variety of topics, learn about shifting laws and industry trends, and help our clients. Best yet is the opportunity to network with other notaries throughout the state so we can ALL ensure excellent customer service from notaries well-educated and dedicated to the same integrity we are. I invested in a MINA membership early in my business as a mobile & remote notary, and it was worth every penny for that support alone. But the continuing education is crucial to our success in this business, and nothing beats MINA's trainings. I love how they're ALWAYS focused on MICHIGAN laws so that we know what we are being taught is the best practice and legal requirement for our own state - no "but check your state's laws for details." The right answer on the first try, every time.
In addition to that, the co-founders of MINA have been working tirelessly to end deed fraud throughout the country; update our laws for the modern age of notary work; and ensure notaries will be trained going forward. I can't wait to see what they accomplish next!
Thanks MINA!

The session was clear, detailed and provided a step-by-step process in being a Notary Public. Instructor shows all the State Law that support the material provided in the notary. The course thus far was the best I have attended for Notary Basic Education. I would give the class 10 Stars.

Leslie Hocker’s 4-hour presentation, Notary Basic Education, was both comprehensive and outstanding! We have delayed completing all of our notary requirements due to the need for more education. With my background in information, library science, and education plus my husband’s in dentistry, we both exclaim, Bravo & Thank You!!
Hertha J Woodruff
Leslie brought a wealth of well researched and legally verified information that was presented in a way that was easily consumable for new notaries and an opportunity to hone skills for more seasoned notaries. I would definitely recommend it to others!

I LOVED this training! The complete breakdown of Michigan notary law was impressive and just what I have been looking for to feel confident as a notary. Questions I didn’t even know to ask were answered along with the list of questions I have been gathering throughout this journey. I really appreciated that my questions were answered succinctly without rush or judgement. I feel like this class should be a prerequisite before notarizing in Michigan and I look forward to everything MINA does to improve the notary experience in our state.

The Notary Basic Education course was thorough, informative and clearly presented. Even though I have had my notary commission for 20+ years, this course offered clarity as well as concise interpretation of the Michigan Law of Notarial Acts. Over the years, I have attended NNA webinars that weren’t state specific and read MiLONA on my own. The lack of notary education in Michigan was frustrating. Michigan Notary Association provides just what I was looking for in a notary support organization - education, mentoring, and a network of notaries to lean on. My MINA membership has been worth it’s weight in gold! Thank you Leslie and Debbie for your tireless work to unite and educate Michigan notaries.

There was a lot of information shared. Everything discussed was priority things that all notaries at least in Michigan should be aware of. Totally recommend taking the class.

Just wrapped up the General Notary Class with the Michigan Notary Association, and it was a game-changer! Spent 3.5 hours on Zoom getting the lowdown on all thing’s notary, and now I’m feeling like a notarization ninja ready to tackle the real deal.

It's a must for any notary in Michigan. This course is amazing and so informative. If Leslie doesn't have an answer for you she'll do everything to find one.
