Notary Public Expert

Commissioned notaries public to build the notarization and document execution scenarios frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. $35 to $60/hr, remote, async, paid weekly.

AfterQuery builds the expert evaluation data that frontier AI labs use to measure and improve their models. We're hiring commissioned notaries public as contractors to author and grade the notarization and document execution scenarios those evaluations run on.

What you'll actually do

• Author realistic notarization scenarios, from acknowledgments and jurats to remote online notarization
• Write reference answers with the statutory reasoning behind each procedural decision
• Grade model output for procedural correctness under state notary law
• Flag guidance that reads correct but violates state notary law

Who this is for

• Notaries with an active commission in at least one US state
• Practitioners with at least 2 years of active notarial practice
• Notaries with depth in acknowledgments, jurats, oaths, and identification requirements
• Clear writers who can document the reasoning behind a procedural decision

Contract and pay

• $35 to $60/hr, paid weekly via Stripe. Your rate is set from your experience, not negotiated down after you start.
• Fully remote, fully async. No fixed hours.
• Minimum 10 hours per week, no maximum. Scale up or down week to week.
• No screen recording, no keystroke monitoring, no idle timers.
• Independent contractor. Ongoing project work rather than single task batches.
