What Exactly Is A Notary Signing Agent?

A Certified Loan Signing Agent is a Commissioned Notary Public that either has extensive experience in the loan signing industry, which could mean working for an escrow, title, mortgage, or other companies dealing in real estate. Or is a commissioned Notary Public that has taken additional training to learn how to perform the duties of a Certified Notary Loan Signing Agent.

Common Misconception 

A Notary Public & Signing Agent are the same. 

A Notary Public and a Loan Signing Agent have TWO unique job descriptions, each with its own set of responsibilities and liabilities.

A California Notary Public is commissioned by the California Secretary of State. The California Secretary of State while pertaining to notarization, does not mandate or require any additional training other than the prescribed training regulations provided by the Secretary of State. Also, it must be noted that a notary surety bond will not cover any issues related to "loan docs" only the ones that are notarized.

 

A Signing Agent is not licensed, commissioned, or certified by ANY state agency. There are no state testing or exam requirements solely for loan documents. 

Example:

Let's imagine you have 200 documents (a set of loan documents) and ten of them require notarization.


You can notarize the ten documents because you are a commissioned Notary Public. There are now 190 documents that do not require notarization but do require the expertise of a trained/certified Loan signing Agent.

As a commissioned Notary Public you are trained to notarize papers that require notarization. Loan Documents can range from 60 to 200 documents per set; however, you will be required to notarize specific documents within a set of loan documents, leaving the rest unnotarized; this is where the Loan Signing Agent comes in. You basically wear two hats as a Loan Signing Agent: one as a notary and the other as a signing agent, each carries its own set of liabilities and will require specific bonds.

Signing Agent Courses

Must provide a clear explanation of the documentation, processing, and requirements associated with a loan signing appointment, allowing for faster loan funding.
An untrained or non-certified notary will cause unnecessary delays in the processing of a loan, which will harm the client, the signers, and will almost certainly destroy the notary's reputation, ensuring that no future assignments are available.
