DYK:

A Notary Public is a public servant with statewide jurisdiction who is authorized to take acknowledgments, protest instruments permitted by law to be protested (primarily negotiable instruments and bills and notes), administer oaths, take depositions, and certify copies of documents not recordable in the public records.

A Notary Signing Agent is a Notary who has been trained and further licensed to handle mortgage loan documents. Lenders and title companies hire Signing Agents as independent contractors to assist in the last step of the loan process. The responsibilities of a Notary Signing Agent generally include printing loan documents, meeting the signer and notarizing their signature(s), 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.

Notary Mike Services has officially launched. I've been a Notary Public for a few months, but working on the additional service of also holding a Signing Agent designation. That is now done.

As a Signing Agent, when I attend a mortgage loan closing to notarize documents remotely, or however needed, I am able to describe the loan documents, point out specifics about terms, and help borrowers better understand the maze of paperwork often included in a closing package. This brings more confidence to the table, much like an Escrow Officer brings for a more traditional in-office closing.

Fees for a mobile notary/signing agent are often set by the title company. Texas law also governs the fees for a standard Notary Public service. By being a mobile Notary Public, if documents are needed to be notarized, such as an Affidavit, Power of Attorney, Parental Consent for Travel, Trusts, I am available to any individual needing such assistance.

I'm also available to title companies who wish to use a mobile closing for their customer's mortgage loan closing. Typical documents of a closing package that may require a notary seal are the Deed of Trust, Promissory Note, Truth in Lending Disclosure, and/or Affidavit of Occupancy.
