I hope this training starts you off on a lucrative and fulfilling new career. The industry needs well-trained agents. That's you Please note: Loan Signing Agent certification is not legally required to perform loan signings. Simply being a commissioned Notary Public is all that is legally needed to notarize any document. However, some title companies and signing agencies now require certification as proof that a notary is familiar and skilled with the process. There is no legal entity governing signing agent courses or certification. Certification only shows that you have taken a course and/or passed a final exam in a particular field of study. It does not imply any type of official or governmental licensing or certification.
