[Paul Neumiller]

Perhaps the branch of the WA DOL that is handling notary renewals is located in the Iowa caucuses?

Subject: [WSBARP] Dept of Licensing - Slow Notary Renewal - 60 to 90 Day Backlog

I submitted my renewal 120 days before my March expiration.  A little hard for us solo real estate practitioners to practice when we can't notarize anything. Lest we forget a couple of weeks for the physical notary stamp to be produced.

"Rob:
I spoke with Jennifer at DOL, and according to Jennifer, we submitted your application early enough (120 days before your notary stamp expires) but the notary program is going through a change and as a result is backlogged 60-90 days from the day they processed your payment which was January 15, 2020.  Looking at maybe early April.  Jennifer reiterated we weren't late; they are having problems keeping up with a system change."
