A notary public is a state-commissioned official who serves as an impartial witness to the signing of important documents. The notary verifies the identity of the signer, confirms they are signing voluntarily, and applies their official seal and signature to the document.

A notary signing agent is a notary public who has received additional training specifically for handling real estate and loan documents. Signing agents guide borrowers through their loan packages, ensure all documents are properly signed and initialed, and return the completed package to the title company or lender.

Fees vary depending on the type of service, number of documents, and travel distance. Loan signing fees are typically set by the title company or signing service. For general notary services, Florida law sets a maximum of $10 per notarial act. Travel fees may apply. Contact us for a free quote.
