Printing Software
One of the first challenges with becoming a notary who handles loan documents is how to print them. This can take a lot of time and can easily be done incorrectly. Fortunately, our partners at Page Separator have developed software to solve this problem.
Notary Bond
A notary bond is a type of surety bond required by California for all notaries public. The purpose of the bond is to protect the consumer from any wrongful acts committed by the notary public., but the bond does not protect the notary public. The bond must be for $15,000.
Bonds have to be sold through licensed insurance agents. You can either call your current agent or search online.
Errors and Omissions Insurance
Errors and omissions insurance (E&O insurance) protects individuals and businesses from claims arising from errors or omissions in the performance of their professional services. Notaries are not required to have E&O insurance in California, but it is strongly recommended because the required notary bond protects the public from damages caused by negligent acts of the notary public, but it offers no such protection for the notary public.
Closing companies typically require this type of insurance if you want to notarize real estate loan packages.
E&O insurance has to be sold through licensed insurance agents. You can either call your current agent or search online.
Identification Checking Guides
When a notary public signs an agreement or document on behalf of someone else, they need to ensure that it’s legitimate. This means checking out the ID submitted by the signer of the document and stamping their signature accordingly with “Notarized.”
But what if the notary public isn’t familiar with how driver’s licenses look in every U.S. state?
Notaries use an identification checking guide (sometimes called an ID checking guide) to verify the identification of the person being notarized. The guide includes instructions for verifying various types of identification, such as driver’s licenses, passports, and birth certificates. These guides usually have pictures and security features of driver’s licenses in every state so that the notary public can verify the legitimacy of a type of identification.
