About

Lawrence Institute for Notaries (“LIN”), was founded by Judith (“Judi”) Lawrence and Arthur (“Art”) Werner. Judi is an accredited author and speaker on international documentation throughout the United States. Headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, LIN was designed to provide educational services to Notaries and Apostille Agents. LIN offers courses in international documentation including relevant topics including How to Become a PA Notary, the Basics of Apostilles, Remote Online Notarization and becoming a notary entrepreneur. These virtual and online courses, presented by a team of experts, show students how to expand in the business world by becoming proficient in notary services and eventually increasing a revenue stream.

We have introduced Apostille Direct USA. This is a networking group allowing students to engage with colleagues and vendors across the country in order to help and engage each other.

At LIN, we offer courses, events, resources and expert guidance to our students whether in an online or virtual classroom. In addition, we are scheduling coaching and mentoring services as required.
