Seeing the same spike in RON work — ask signers to lift any credit freezes 24 hours ahead or KBA will tank. After two failed KBA sessions last week, I started sending a short precheck text with steps and it cut reschedules in half. The “red tape” folks gripe about is mostly KBA rules, not us; if they won’t unfreeze, I switch to in‑person e-notary.
