Signing Agent
A Notary Signing Agent is a Notary who has special expertise to handle and notarize loan papers. For lenders, Notary Signing Agents are the critical final link to complete the loan. A Notary Signing Agent is hired as an independent contractor to ensure that real estate loan documents are executed by the borrower, notarized and returned for processing on time. Completing this critical part of the loan process enables the loan to be funded.
What do signing agents do?
The responsibilities of a Notary Signing Agent generally include printing loan documents, meeting the signer and notarizing their signature, and quickly returning the documents for processing. NSAs are also responsible for following any additional instructions from the lender, title company or signing service that hires them for loan closing work. For example, an NSA may be asked to fax back documents right away or use a specific mailing service to return the paperwork safely.
Since Notary Signing Agents have access to private financial information about borrowers and are sent into their client's home, the mortgage finance industry requires all Signing Agents to undergo a background screening on an annual basis. This helps prevent mortgage fraud and ensures the consumer's information is secure.

why become a Loan signing agent?
Becoming a Notary Signing Agent has a few benefits. The first is the income opportunity. The fee you can charge for handling loan document packages is separate from the fee for regular notarizations, which means you'll earn more per assignment. The second benefit is that you can be your own boss. Since Notary Signing Agents are independent contractors, you'll control your schedule and decide how many notarizations you want to take on for the day.
If you're already commissioned as a traditional Notary Public, you're one step closer to becoming a Notary Signing Agent. If you're not currently a Notary, you'll need to meet the eligibility requirements and follow your state's rules regarding Signing Agents.
