Tip #1: Keep Calm and Carry On When dealing with a rude or difficult client, it's important to remember to keep calm and carry on. As the notary, you're in charge of the notarization process and it's your job to ensure that it's completed correctly. So, take a deep breath, put on your best customer service smile, and soldier on.

"Remember, you're the notary, not the notary-erupted-volcano. Keep your cool!"

Tip #2: Listen Carefully to Their Concerns Sometimes, a difficult client may have legitimate concerns or questions about the notarization process. It's important to listen carefully to their concerns and address them as best you can. By showing that you're willing to work with them, you can help to diffuse a tense situation.


"They say that listening is key, but I think in this case, it's the stamp that's the key. But still, listen up!"

Tip #3: Set Expectations Up Front One way to avoid difficult clients is to set expectations up front. Let your clients know what to expect during the notarization process, including what documents they need to bring, what identification they need to provide, and how long the process will take. By setting clear expectations, you can help to avoid misunderstandings or surprises.

"If you set expectations up front, they won't be as likely to act like a grumpy old goat."

Tip #4: Be Friendly and Personable While it's important to maintain a professional demeanor during a notarization, that doesn't mean you can't be friendly and personable. Try to build a rapport with your clients by asking about their day or making small talk. By showing that you're a friendly and approachable person, you can help to put them at ease.

"They say that laughter is the best medicine, but I think a notarization is a close second. Let's get this party started!"

By following these tips for handling difficult clients during notarizations, you can help to ensure a smooth and stress-free process. And by injecting a little humor into the situation, you can help to lighten the mood and make the experience more enjoyable for everyone involved.
