FAQs
What is the difference between a notary public and a notary signing agent?
Notary signing agents undergo specific training to be able to notarize complex loan documents, especially mortgages. Notaries usually witness and notarize simpler identity confirmation documents. Unlike traditional notaries, signing agents can earn more money by charging for their labor alone. While notaries usually make money from signing fees, signing agents may charge the cost of a notarization as an additional fee on top of their work guiding a client through the loan contract.
When does my signing agent commission expire?
Signing agent commissions in Florida are tied to notary public commissions. For example, if your notary public commission expires August 1, that's when your notary signing agent commission expires also.
Do I need a background check?
Notary signing agents are typically required by lenders to undergo background checks because they handle sensitive financial information within loan documents. Background checks are not required for standard notaries, however.
We offer a Level 1 background check:
- Criminal Check
- National Criminal Database
- SSN Trace
- Sex Offender Search (National)
