Babysitting a notary public?

One web site advertising mobile notaries says "Our notaries are required to fax for review all notarized documents ... " (emphasis mine).

So let me get this right. The notary is going to show up at your home, plug in a fax machine and use your long distance to fax to a central office. Then you two are going to wait around while someone OKs the notary's work.

Is this a selling point?

Personally, I'd rather deal with a competent notary who didn't need to be babysat. One who doesn't need to lug a fax machine into the house ("Hey, watch the wall!") and connect to my phone line.

Yikes!
