Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, welcome to another episode of El Paso,
local area business talk.
This is shoddy fund.
I'm here with Marco Sierra, theCEO and manager of quick mobile
notary.
How's it going, Marco?
I'm
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Doing well.
How are you doing
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Today?
I'm doing pretty good, man.
Thanks for asking.
I just want to thank you forcoming out here to talk to us
about the services that youoffer and I'll, let's just get
right into it.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Sounds good to me.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
All right.
Cool man.
So, you know, I know whatnotaries do, but you guys are a
mobile notary business.
So can you just kind of explainthe difference?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yes.
Awesome.
Um, actually we're a uniquebusiness here in El Paso, Texas.
So when we mean mobile, weactually mean mobile.
Meaning we come to you.
So our notary services, we doeverything from notarizing, a
power of attorney documents,wills, medical power of attorney
documents, mortgage documents.
We meet individuals on thebridge from Mexico as well too.
(00:53):
So if you're in the El Paso areaof Paso county, we'll come to
you, give us at least an hournotice and we'll be coming right
to you.
You don't even have to lift afinger.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, great.
Um, so, uh, I guess one of myquestions is if I'm going to
hire you guys and you guys aregonna come to say my office or
my house or something like that,to get some documents signed,
uh, what do I need to bring withme to the notary signing?
Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Okay.
So there's a couple of thingsthat you need to do when we are
actually going to be meeting youat your office, your home.
First, we need to bring in oneof the following forms of
identification, you're going toneed your driver's license or
state driver's license ID,meaning here in Texas, New
Mexico, California, Arizona,something in that nature or your
military ID or passport.
And, um, in case you forgetsomething, we also do credible
(01:43):
witnesses as well, too.
Meaning the individual who isgoing to be saying you are the
actually John DOE Amy Smith willbe a credible witness.
So they'll need to bring theirstate issued driver's license or
passport military ID.
Exactly what I was just talkingabout too a little bit before.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Okay.
So, um, you know, when you getan, a document notarized, am I
correct in assuming you'rereally just acting as a witness
to the sign and you're not goingto verify that everything in the
paperwork is honest and true, isthat right?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, actually there's a couple of things with
that.
So the simple answer is no,actually, so notarizing, uh,
notarizing a document, excuseme, only validates that the, of
personally appeared in front ofthe notary and subscribed or
affirmed to the truthfulness ofthe documents.
So the notary Republic has noauthorization to state that a
document is official true orcorrect.
(02:35):
So basically I'm just sayingthat the individual who is
coming in front of me is infront of me signing the
document.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
Okay.
What if I don't have an idea,let's say I'm a maybe
immigration type of, you know,I'm hairy, maybe not legally, or
I just don't have properdocumentation.
Is there a way that you canstill have that person signed
the document and notarize it?
Yeah,
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Course.
Um, so which I was talking abouta little bit earlier regarding
the credible witness, if youdon't have the proper ID, we can
use a credible witness, but ifnone of those types of
identification that we were justtalking about earlier regarding
a passport military ID, state,um, state driver's license,
we'll use, um, two additionalpeople, a credible witness to
(03:19):
basically just swear that thesigner is John Smith or Amy
Smith signing the document, butthey have to be over the age of
18.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Gotcha.
That's interesting.
Um, okay, so you guys serve theEl Paso area.
So if I'm looking for a mobilenotary near me, um, I can
definitely give you guys a calland you can get to wherever I am
pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh, definitely.
So when we actually say, um,mobile, we mean mobile.
So wherever you're around, we'llgo exactly near you to your
location.
If that is on the bridge to aStarbucks, to a parking lot, to
your home, to your business,your office 24 7, we will come
to you.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Okay.
So when you say go to thebridge, you're talking about the
border bridge right meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Ah, yes, that is correct shoddy.
So we actually, um, service allfive bridges, the Tulsa bridge
all the way to the Santa Febridge.
If you're on the far east side,that will be the Santa Fe
bridge.
If you're more central, which isthe west side of central wall,
we'll service you on the SantaFe bridge.
And basically how it works iswe'll meet you halfway on the
bridge.
So nobody's crossing on over andit's incredibly easy for the
(04:23):
individual who's in Mexico.
Doesn't have to cross on them.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
That's interesting, man.
That's really interestingactually.
Um, what kind of things do you,uh, notarize on the bridge?
Like what kind of documents justout of curiosity,
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's actually a good question.
Um, edge is varied fromeverything from a power of
attorney to a medical part ofattorney wills.
Um, quite a bit of the documentswe actually do here in El Paso
is a mortgage documents, whichwe service everybody from
someone who's in the state ofNew York.
But for some reason they'reliving in Mexico, we'll be able
to notarize that mortgagedocuments for them as well to,
(04:59):
uh, deeds as well to transfer ofownership, corporate documents,
uh, you name it, we do it.
Okay,
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Great.
So, um, let's say I'm buying acar from out of state and those
documents need to be notarized.
Can you notarize documents thatare from out of state?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yes, definitely.
So the only thing that varies isthat we'll have to cross out
basically where it says stateof, let's say Louisiana, we'll
have to put the state of Texasand obviously the county of El
Paso, but that is something wedo on a daily basis with a
transfer of ownership documentsor a motor vehicle, excuse me.
And we do everything fromLouisiana to Oklahoma, to
(05:36):
Washington states to evenWisconsin state.
So we, we service all 50 statesas well, too here in El Paso.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay.
You know what I was justthinking about the border thing,
uh, being in a border city, youprobably have a lot of Spanish
speakers and documents are inSpanish.
I imagine that to get them, um,the documents to be legitimate
here in the states, they have tobe an English format.
You can't send something to thestate of Texas, for example, in
Spanish.
Is that right?
How do you guys overcome that ordeal with that?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yes, sir.
So we do have a translator hereat the office as well, too.
So she'll translate thedocuments from Spanish to
English, from everything, from amarriage license.
So birth certificate, and then Iwill be able to notarize the
document myself.
Uh, we also do apostles as well,too, which we work with, um, a
third company out in Austin,Texas.
So you don't even lift a fingerfor the apostle or a
(06:27):
translation, just drop off thedocuments to us and we'll take
care of all the hard work.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Oh cool.
And a postal service.
I'm familiar with that.
Um, do you guys do a lot ofthose?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes, we do.
We, we average maybe three, foura week and we actually serve
pretty much all the countriesaround the world, uh, here in El
Paso.
So if you have a document or amarriage certificate out of
India, we'll be able to takecare of that for you as well,
too, or even far away from Chinaor even, um, a country in
(06:58):
Europe.
We'll take care of that apostlework for you.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Okay, cool.
Um, you know, it just occurredto me, you guys, I know that I
kind of looked this up before weinterviewed today that a notary
can only charge like$6 at first,but is there any additional fees
for going out to come visit me?
I imagine you have to chargesomething, right?
What are your fees?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So you are absolutely correct.
So it's$6 per signing, perdocument.
And we do charge a, a mobilefee, which is going to be$25 per
mobile.
And that goes for anywhere in ElPaso, even if you're on the 7,
9, 9 1 2 zip code, which is thewest side or to the 7, 9, 9, 3 8
zip code, which is on the fareast side, it'll be the same$25,
(07:37):
but we charged six additionaldollars for the, for the
documents.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, great.
Um, so I actually like to endthese interviews with something
funny or something interesting.
Uh, what, uh, sticks out in yourmind as the most crazy or
funniest or just coolest notaryyou've ever done.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Oh man.
There, I could literally write abook on me being a notary for
the last 5, 6, 7 years I've beendoing this.
Um, it's an amazing job what Ido, but to answer that question,
I will, I did two notaries onone day.
Um, one was around the afternoonaround five o'clock.
(08:18):
I walked into their house and itwas literally a zoo in their
two-story house, meaning theyhad all different types of
animals running from the ceilingall the way up to the roof.
We're talking, um, exoticreptiles from, uh, lavender
pythons, which are going over$10,000 to, uh, turtles, to
spiders, to dogs, everythinglike that.
(08:39):
And my next note, or you wasover there on the west side and
the individual was buying a$10million jet.
So I had to notarize it.
So you were seeing, um, just twototal different sides, spectrums
of individual's lives.
So it's pretty when you just goout and mingle with these
individuals, talk to them, um,they'll offer you a cup of
(09:00):
coffee.
Some will make you someenchiladas.
It's just awesome to go aroundand talk to individuals.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
You meet all sorts of different people from all walks
of life.
That sounds pretty cool.
Yes, it is.
It really is.
