• Closing agents can be the lender, escrow, title company, closing service, etc. A closing agent actually performs the closing process which includes disbursement of funds, the issuing of title insurance, if applicable and recording of the deed. In addition, the closing agent, if a notary, can also notarize the applicable documents in the loan package. With the expansion of lenders requirements across the nation, the need for a "mobile notary or signing agent" was developed. 

• As stated by NNA, "before the 1990's, The Notary Signing Agent was virtually unknown. Borrowers were expected to travel to the office of a lender, escrow agent or title firm to complete a loan. However, during the past decade, increasing competition in the lending market, a massive volume of refinancing and home-equity loans and demand for faster, more customer-friendly services changed how loan transactions are concluded. Lenders now strive to make transactions as simple as possible and reduce a borrower's travel time during the workweek.
  
  Instead of having the borrower travel to an office to sign the closing documents for a loan transaction, lenders sought ways to bring the documents to the borrower. The use of Notary Signing Agents to deliver loan documents allows a borrower to complete a mortgage transaction without pressure and without having to travel outside his or her own home, as well as providing a trusted third party to identify signers, notarize documents and aid in deterring fraud. Notaries are already required by law to display a high level of honesty and integrity in their work, providing lenders with confidence to use them as trustworthy agents. Because Notaries are available in every state in the nation, it makes it easier for lenders to locate a Notary Signing Agent convenient to a borrower's location."

• A Notary Signing Agent is the Notary Public that presents the loan documents to the borrowers. The Notary Signing Agent points to key features and information on the documents and secures proper signatures, after verifying identity. The Notary Signing Agent can answer only "What questions" but not questions that pertain to "Why." After the signing is completed, the Notary Signing Agent notarizes the appropriate documents in the loan package.
  

• A Certified Notary Signing Agent, means that this individual Notary Public has his or her training and testing completed with Notary-services.com. We use a "Certified Notary Signing Agent" logo on the Notaries web page to denote that they are a "Certified Notary Signing Agent". Companies can see at a glance that they are knowledgeable and competent with the documents and signing procedures.
