When faced with the choice of using a single notary, versus using a national signing service, there are several things a business needs to consider.  Not least of which are staffing/availability of your notary.

One must also consider the culture of their company and if an on staff notary helps them achieve their mission statement.  And on top of it all, a business must always think and plan about the future, the prospect of growth, and how that will affect company operations.

When You Need a National Signing Service

Every business that needs documents signings has to make a choice on how to get the job done.  Here are a few key questions we have found companies need to ask when making the decision on getting a national signing service.

Does an on staff notary help the company reach its goals, without detracting from its core focus?

Especially for smaller companies, hiring is a big decision.  There are training, taxes, the bottom line, and the journey to find someone who is right for your team.  Then there is the fact they must be certified in every state you do business, or plan to do business.

If you only do a few signings in a local area, it might be the right decision for you.  But, you then have to weigh the cost/benefits to have them on your staff.

You can find an individual notary for your services, but what do you do when they aren’t available?  And is it a good use of company time to be tracking down notaries all the time?

Technology Has Changed the Game

Remote Online Notarizations made their big debut during the pandemic. They seem simple, but business is rarely simple.

The fact is some documents must be done in person. Some docs need attorneys, while others are affected by the myriad of laws now across the United States.

So, why not let the industry leader manage that for you?

At the end of the day, you are going to realize you need both mobile and online notaries. So why not be with someone who offers that to start with. Add in our expedited document delivery and you have a true white glove service.

Is your company growing or primed for growth?

Growing a business is hard work.  It takes supreme effort across a range of company goals to achieve.

And it is a proud moment when you do it.

As your company grows, your needs for notary services grows with it.  You can no longer rely on an individual notary, so a national signing service becomes your best option.

Why?  Because you need to focus on the three things that makes your company tick!  And I bet hunting down notaries is not on that list.  So you go out and find someone who specializes in that, so you can focus on your core business and increased growth.

Are you looking to expand your hours?

In recent years, this has spread quickly in real estate, but also for signings involving individuals with 9-5 jobs.  In real estate, investors strike fast and they do the deals when they can be done.  This is often outside the range of normal business hours.

A national signing service have networks of notaries that are available after conventional hours.  So, if one is not available, they have twenty more that are.  So you never get stuck out of town, at the table, with no way to close.

In business, every minute means money.

Needless to say, you aren’t the first person to come to this page and ask “where can I find a Notary?”.

We say, in mother Russia, notary finds you.

That is quite tongue in cheek, but the fast paced business environment today often requires a notary come to you, and not the other way around.  Business is no longer tied to the old nine to five, and important signings can take place almost at any time.  Antiquated are the days when all parties to a document trudged their way to notary office, because nowadays no one has the time, and let’s face it, the notary in the office is probably out to lunch or closed.  It is just so much more convenient to have the notary come to your site so you can go about your business uninterrupted.

A traveling notary is more commonly known as a mobile notary. 

Traveling Notaries are notaries that travel from location to location to perform document signings. They provide a service that is needed for the legal system to run. Also, they protect people in the best of times and the worst of times.

Rather than make a costly mistake with your mortgage, you want to dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s. Of course, you’ll also need a witness to all of that signing effort. You can go to a title company between the hours of nine and five. But, we all know it can be difficult to get away if you work those hours.  That’s true for people who have more unique jobs, as well, such as truck drivers and people who are on call.  They may have to go from one place to another quickly, and with little notice. It makes finding a mortgage notary signing agent more difficult.

Reducing the Risk of Making Mortgage Signing Mistakes

Since mortgage documents must be notarized properly, you need to be certain that you have a mortgage notary signing agent you can trust. You also need one who is going to handle things correctly, and who is going to be available when you need them.

If you find a great notary, but they’re never available, it can be difficult to arrange a signing appointment.

Many people are licensed notaries, but they don’t all have the experience you would expect or hope for. Don’t randomly choose one and then try to fit seeing them into your schedule.  Take the time to find the right one who will work with your needs and plans.

Most mortgage documents are fairly self-explanatory, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas where problems could arise. If you miss a signature, or you sign something, but it isn’t notarized at the time, it’s not going to be valid.

That could delay your mortgage and the closing of your house.

This can make it more difficult for you to get moved into your new home in the time frame you have set up. If you have to move from your current location on a particular date, that could also be problematic.  A delay on your mortgage and closing could mean you don’t have anywhere to go when leaving your current home.

Why Get a Mobile Mortgage Notary Signing Agent?

When you select a mobile mortgage notary signing agent you can find one that cares about addressing your specific situation. That means making sure the papers you have for your mortgage are processed correctly, but it also means working around the times that you will be available.

When you have a mobile notary from Sunshine, the option to get our expedited document delivery is yours. So, you can record documents at break neck speed.

Knowing what to look for in a mobile notary service is very important, because they aren’t all the same. Some of them are much more accommodating than others, and you want one that’s going to provide you with quality service any time of the date or night.

Choosing a notary who belongs to a professional organization and a quality company can be important, too, since more than 75% of claims made against notaries happen to those notaries who are fairly new to things and are in their first two years of work.

You don’t have to do everything on a Monday through Friday, nine to five schedule, even when you need a mortgage. To get the right mortgage notary signing agent for your situation choose Sunshine Signing, and feel confident that your notary needs will be met, no matter the day and time.
