Notary Signing Agents

Why is Background Screening Required?

In order to guard borrowers' private financial information, the mortgage industry requires all persons involved in the lending process to undergo background screenings. Lenders in turn instruct title services companies to ensure that everyone with access to mortgage documents has been screened. This requirement applies to everyone handling loan documents including Notaries who act as Signing Agents.

The NNA background screening includes identity verification, residence verification, federal criminal record database search, residence county criminal record search (through court records, not a database), state motor vehicle records search and an Office of Foreign Assets Control (known-terrorist list) check.

This comprehensive screening meets the highest lender standards and is far more expansive than other screenings. It is therefore recognized and accepted by the nation's leading title and mortgage services companies.

Insured & Bonded

In order to protect the public, each Notary Public must file and register a bond with the State of Tennessee in the amount of $10,000.

Also, in order to protect each financial transaction, we also carry a $50,000 Errors & Omissions insurance policy.

NSAs Certified Annually

To meet their service and compliance requirements, lenders and title services companies need Notary Signing Agents to periodically demonstrate that they meet the qualifications for handling loan document signings. This requires completing both an examination of skills and know-how as well as a background screening every year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you prepare Wills or Other legal documents?

While any person can generally draft and prepare their own legal documents without a lawyer, preparing documents for others for a fee would be considered a practice of law and we are not licensed attorneys.

What kind of notarization does my document need?

We cannot give you an opinion as to which notorization would best suit your needs as the answer could have legal ramifications for your document. You may tell us what notorization is required for your documents but we cannot choose for you.
