National Notary Association — Signing Agent Application

Find NNA Certified/Background Screened Notary Signing Agents
SigningAgent.com will help you locate Notary Signing Agents with the highest qualifications and the unique skills you are seeking. NNA Certified Notary Signing Agents who have successfully passed the NNA’s certification exam and a background screening are listed first. They can be easily identified by the gold “NNA Certified and Background Screened” emblem that appears next to their name.

Why Background Screening?
You may wonder why SigningAgent.com now mentions background screening. This is because some of the largest U.S. lenders have begun to require background screening for individuals involved in the lending process — including Notary Signing Agents.

These lenders are responding to instructions from federal banking regulators as they implement the mandates of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act (GLBA) and its Interagency Guidelines. While you may not have been affected by this yet, we want to let you know how we are helping the lending industry comply with these measures that were designed to protect consumer privacy.

Comprehensive NNA Certification Program
The National Notary Association worked with a task force of leading title and mortgage services companies to develop a comprehensive training, certification and background screening solution for Notary Signing Agents. Our enhanced Certification program now includes privacy protection training and background screening (which includes screening for criminal and motor vehicle violations).

The NNA Certified and Background Screened Notary Signing Agent credential meets high professional standards and is therefore recognized and accepted by many of the nation’s top title and mortgage services companies — including First American Lenders Advantage, Fiserv Lending Solutions, LandAmerica OneStop, National Real Estate Information Services and Stewart Mortgage Information.

You can benefit from it as well. When your company needs to hire a skilled, professional Notary Signing Agent, you can find the best by visiting SigningAgent.com. This national directory lists Notary Signing Agents by priority-status.
