Unlocking New Opportunities for Remote Online Notaries
As remote online notaries, we often focus on industries like real estate and legal services, but there’s a growing market that has gone largely unnoticed: the construction industry. With the rise of large-scale developments, commercial projects, and complex contracts, construction firms have an increasing need for notarization services—particularly for documents like Notice of Commencements. This means there’s a significant opportunity for notaries to tap into an underserved market and position themselves as specialists in this niche.
Here is an example of a Notice of Commencment:

Why Notice of Commencements Matter in Construction
A Notice of Commencement (NOC) is a legal document that establishes the start of a construction project and must be filed before any major work can begin. Especially prevalent in Florida, remote notaries have a distinct advantage in the fact that they can market to these states regardless of where they reside.
It protects property owners and provides a clear paper trail for contractors and suppliers. If a Notice of Commencement is not properly executed and notarized, it can lead to costly project delays, lien disputes, and legal complications. This is where remote online notaries can step in as an essential partner for construction firms.
Expanding Into the Construction Space: A Market with Room for Growth
The construction industry needs all manner of documents notarized: from contracts and affidavits to compliance certifications. Yet, few notaries are actively targeting this space, making it a prime opportunity for those who are willing to get ahead of the curve. With fewer competitors and a high demand for services, you can quickly build a niche business that not only meets the needs of construction firms but also positions you as an expert in an industry that is often overlooked.
For example, a construction firm in Florida might need a notarized NOC before breaking ground on a new commercial building. Instead of sending someone out to get the document notarized, they could work with you through ProNotary. This saves them time and ensures that they remain compliant with state regulations. It’s a win-win that can quickly turn a one-time transaction into a long-term business relationship.
Remote Online Notarization: The Solution Construction Companies Need
Construction projects often involve multiple parties and require quick turnaround times for documentation. Remote online notarization offers a streamlined and efficient solution, enabling contractors, suppliers, and project managers to have their documents notarized quickly—no matter where they are located. This is especially valuable when dealing with out-of-state or international stakeholders, which is common in larger construction projects.
Additionally, by providing 24/7 availability, remote notaries can accommodate the demanding schedules of construction professionals who may need documents signed after traditional business hours. This flexibility is a key selling point that can set you apart from local, in-person notaries who may not have the same level of availability.
