Exhibit A
Notaries work in Lansing
Lansing carries a steady base of notary demand because it is the state capital and a county seat, so loan signings, affidavits, powers of attorney and title work move through the city all year. The searches come from people who need a stamp on a specific document, often the same day, and from businesses that need a notary on call. Much of the local trade is owner operators working alone or from a home office, with a smaller number of storefront shipping and business service shops adding notary work to their counter. That mix means the searches are spread across many small providers rather than concentrated in a few big names, and the businesses that publish clear pages about what they notarize and where they travel tend to be the ones people call.
