Notary Signing Agent
Take your notary skills to the next level!
A Notary Signing Agent (NSA) is a notary public with specialized training and certification in managing and overseeing the signing of loan documents. NSAs are commonly involved in real estate transactions to ensure mortgage and loan documents are accurately signed, executed, and notarized.
California has no specific regulations for NSA licensing, but some states do. Be sure to check with your state's notary office. NSAs must follow financial institution policies and comply with regulations on handling borrowers' personal information during loan signings.
The Notary Learning Center offers tailored
NSA education and training programs designed to meet
your specific needs and career goals in all states.
