All Signing Agents are notaries, but not all notaries are Signing Agents; it’s like how all circles are shapes, but not all shapes are circles. To become a Signing Agent you must be a commissioned notary public in your state. Only then may you apply for the extra certification. A Signing Agent is another level of certification on top of your notary public one; it allows you to assist with loan paperwork and signings-- Signing Agents are prominent in the mortgage industry. Some states require you to acquire a Title Producers License. Please contact your state Licensing Department.
