Notary Public
What is a notary signing agent and how is it different from a regular notary public?
A notary signing agent (NSA) is a specialized notary public who is trained to handle and notarize loan documents. While a regular notary can notarize a wide variety of documents, an NSA has specific knowledge and expertise in dealing with mortgage loan documents and other real estate transactions. They play a crucial role in the mortgage closing process by ensuring that the documents are properly executed and returned to the lender in a timely manner.
What types of documents do you typically handle as a notary signing agent?
As a notary signing agent, I typically handle various documents involved in real estate transactions, including but not limited to, loan applications, mortgage documents, deeds of trust, promissory notes, closing disclosures, affidavits, and settlement statements. Each document requires careful review and proper notarization to ensure compliance with legal requirements.
What identification do borrowers need to provide during a loan signing?
Borrowers need to provide valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, state ID, passport, or military ID. The ID must be current and not expired. This identification is necessary to verify the identity of the signers and to prevent fraud.
How do you ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the borrowers’ information?
As a notary signing agent, I follow strict protocols to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the borrowers’ information. This includes securely handling and storing documents, ensuring that sensitive information is not disclosed to unauthorized parties, and adhering to all relevant privacy laws and regulations. Additionally, I complete background checks and comply with the standards set by the National Notary Association (NNA) or other governing bodies.
What should I do if I have questions about the loan documents during the signing?
If you have any questions about the loan documents during the signing, you should reach out to your loan officer or lender directly. As a notary signing agent, I can explain the general purpose of the documents and point out where you need to sign, but I cannot provide legal advice or answer specific questions about the loan terms or conditions. It’s important to get clarification from your lender to ensure you fully understand the documents you are signing.
