I emailed my entire neighborhood to see if anyone was a notary or had any suggestions. Someone suggested this source. I contacted them and a youngish gentleman called me back within an hour or two (I was thrilled). We set up an appointment at his place which was about 10-15 mins away, for early the next morning. He even accepted a time that was earlier than he typically starts working (I requested the favor so that my husband could get the form notarized and then travel to his workplace, in time for his 8 a.m. appointment. After setting all this up, one of my neighbors whom I don't know emailed that she's a notary and was happy to help us. Since she lives within a 2-minute drive from us and could accommodate my husband at 7:30 a.m., AND wouldn't charge us, we decided to go with her. I contacted the young gentleman who was expecting my husband early the next morning, and told him we wouldn't need his service after all. I profusely apologized of course, for troubling him. So, we didn't end up using him as a notary but he was so gracious that I give him as many stars as possible, without having even used his service.

After a text from "Dee", with no identifying information, I ascertained who she was and responded affirmatively re: the appointment date and time. I then received a text from her confirming our appointment and explaining that she was about to send a text that I needed to "read CAREFULLY". No such text came. I reached out for clarification, and got no response. The location is a residential street, and my map app took me to the house across the street from hers. A very nice gentleman came to the door, and I immediately recognized my mistake. "This isn't the fingerprinting location, is it?" I said. He laughed and said no, then asked me if the business was an actual house. I said yes, and he said that when I find it to let him know because he also needed some fingerprinting done. We chatted for a moment about what a great gig it would be to have that kind of business right from your own home. I apologized again, he told me "no worries!" And I left. Soon, after cross checking texts and a couple of emails from my agency, I was able to determine that the place I needed was right across the street. I drove there and parked in the driveway, as I'd been instructed to. As I approached the front door, I was looking at my phone to verify that I was at the right place as I rang the door bell. A pinched-faced, unfriendly woman opened the door just a smidgen, reached way over to a small, pale yellow note tucked under her mailbox and tapped it furiously. It instructed to go to the back door. I said I was so sorry, and headed down the driveway to her back door. She flung it open, visibly furious. I apologized again and began to tell her how I'd initially gone to the wrong house. She cut me off and screamed, "YOU DISTURBED MY NEIGHBOR AND YOU CANNOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS?!" I backed up and said, "Nevermind. I'm leaving." This caused her to scream, "I DO NOT WANT TO WORK WITH YOU!" Which was rather irrelevant considering I'd just said I was leaving. It turns out that my agency already paid her "no refunds" fee, which they didn't mind but which made me even angrier. I admit, I look a mess. No makeup, swollen eyes. My 17 year old dog just died, and the grief shows on my face, making me look a wreck. None of that should matter, of course, but I got the distinct vibe that I wasn't up to par on her esthetic standards, on top of my other egregious actions. Word to the wise: AVOID THIS NASTY WOMAN. At all costs. The "convenience" isn't worth it. There are multitudes of places similar to hers out there. Please find one.
