Notary Public Central

What Notary Public Central does

Notary Public Central, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned New York State-based training and services company founded in 1998 by CEO Dina DiRoma. The company's core business is pre-licensing and continuing-education training for aspiring and current notaries, delivered through self-paced online video courses, live in-person classes across 10+ locations in the New York metro area (including Long Island, Buffalo, Staten Island, Yonkers, Brooklyn, Queens, Rochester, Westchester), New Jersey, and Connecticut, plus on-site corporate training. Courses span the NYS Notary Public Training Course, Notary Refresher, Signing Agent, and Remote Electronic Notary curriculum, with an 'All States' online offering extending geographic reach nationally.

The business monetizes primarily through one-time course fees ranging from $20 (prep test) to $350 (Amazon publishing course), plus a diversified portfolio of adjacent revenue streams: notary supplies (stamps, seals, journals, merchandise), E&O insurance referrals, apostille and legalization services, expedited passport processing, certified translation and interpretation through Idiomatica Affiliates, and expert witness services for document fraud cases billed at $250 per hour. The technology layer is a Wix-hosted e-commerce site for self-serve purchases, with the actual remote online notarization (RON) workflow delegated to third-party platforms — SecuredSigning, IdenTrust, Notarize, and Adobe — rather than built in-house.

The company holds WBE (Women's Business Enterprise) certification, is recognized as a Special Honoree by the National Notary Association, and operates as a long-tenured regional player without disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity. Distribution combines direct e-commerce, affiliate referrals ($50 per enrollment), Amazon marketplace, broad social media presence led by the CEO's personal brand, regional Chamber of Commerce affiliations, and three regional live-class footprints.
