A Loan Signing Agent is a professional who specializes in the notarization of loan documents. They are highly trained and certified to ensure that all legal aspects of the loan are handled correctly, before the borrower and lender sign the closing documents. This includes verifying identities, understanding and explaining terms, administering oaths or affirmations, collecting signatures, and adhering to the rules of state notary laws. Loan Signing Agents are an important part of the lenders’ trusted network and a critical component of the mortgage transaction process.
