I had my first win, kinda small but I'm still happy. I entered a contest through Scholastic to win a Maya y Miguel dvd. I got an email saying I won! :headbang: Course, they sent me an affy, it cost me $5.00 to get it notarized and the dvd was only worth $9.99! :scratch: I figure I'm still up $4.99 though so I'm happy. Still waiting for my big win though so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed but thought I would share my little win those that would appreciate it! :wave:

Congrats. You should probably check around and see if there is any free notarys.
 
You might check with your bank. A lot of them have free notary services for their members.

Congrats on your win anyway! :headbang:
 
:sunny: Congratulations! yes, please check with your bank or insurance company that you do business with. You may be getting lots of affys and don't want to dole out $5 each time.
 
Yeah - I've used the County Clerk in my County Court House to notarize documents for free as well.

But congrats on the win. I feel the same way - I'll take a win - big or small! : )
:laughing:
 
Thanks for the great ideas for other places to get stuff notarized. I knew I could count on you guys to have lots of great ideas to not pay $5.00 every time I win. Hopefully, this will be a problem ( lots of wins and lots of affys :whistle:) that I'll be able to fix easily. I will check with my bank and see what they say. I know my bank still counts and wraps change for you if you bring it in and they do that for free so maybe they would offer this service too. I wonder if I became a notary, if I could notarize my own stuff? Would that be a conflict of interest :scratch: Anyway, thanks for the all the congrats and here's wishing lots of big wins for all of us in the future (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of us :sunny:)
 
you cannot notarize your own stuff...and often times neither can an immediate family member although they likely would only be able to tell if you had the same lastname
 
:wave: Congratulations on your first win!! :wave: :sunny:

Most banks have a notary and it is a free service even if you don't belong to that bank.
Check around next time, so you don't have to pay!
