Frequently asked questions
Be prepared for your appointment.
A few simple steps can help prevent delays.
What does a Loan Signing Agent do?
A Loan Signing Agent presents the loan package, verifies signer identity, points out required signature and initial locations, completes the required notarial acts, performs a quality check, and follows the hiring party’s instructions for scanbacks or package return.
Can you explain my interest rate, fees, or loan terms?
No. I remain impartial and do not interpret loan terms or provide legal or financial advice. Questions about the transaction are directed to your lender, title company, escrow officer, or other appropriate contact.
What should I bring?
Bring the complete, unsigned document and a current form of identification acceptable under Florida law. Additional witnesses may be required depending on the document.
Can the notary explain or prepare my legal document?
No. A notary who is not an attorney cannot select legal forms, provide legal advice, or explain the legal effect of a document. Contact a licensed attorney for legal guidance.
Can you visit hospitals and nursing facilities?
Yes. Appointments can be coordinated for hospitals, nursing facilities, assisted living communities, rehabilitation centers, hospice, and private residences.
What could prevent a notarization?
A notarization may not proceed if the signer is unavailable, unwilling, unable to communicate directly, lacks acceptable identification, appears unaware of the transaction, or if the document is incomplete.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Same-day and rush appointments may be available. Additional scheduling or convenience fees may apply and will be disclosed before confirmation.
