Loan Signing Agent

Did you know there’s a difference between a notary public and a loan signing agent? While it’s true all Salt Lake City loan signing agents are notaries, not all notaries are loan signing agents. Keep reading to learn the difference and decide what level of certification you need.

Both notaries and loan signing agents are able to sign certain legal documents as a witness the parties signing said documents are who they say they are. Common documents that require a notary signature include auto title transfers, trusts, power of attorney, custody agreements, leases, contracts, and more.

Loan signing agents go through additional certifying processes to narrow their focus on home loan documents. It’s similar to the difference between a general practitioner and specialist. Both are required to go through the same undergraduate and graduate medical training, but the specialist continues with further education to focus on a specific area of medicine.

So, what additional services can a Salt Lake City loan signing agent offer beyond the scope of practice they performed as a notary? As the name implies, they specialize in processing home loan documents. When you work with one of our trusted loan signing agents, you can rest assured they’ve been heavily vetted through:
