Mobile notaries do more than just authenticate signatures; they bring flexibility and convenience to your real estate transactions and offer a better experience for your clients. Driven by remote working trends and globalization, demand for their services has serged over the last several years. As their role in the real estate industry grows, so does the importance of choosing a mobile notary company that prioritizes compliance and conducts thorough background checks on each notary public it employs.
Proper compliance and background checks have served as a vehicle for Notaries to You to build a phenomenal staff. We have tens of thousands of vetted professionals with over 25 years of experience in escrow, title and lending. We complete annual background checks and keep every team member up-to-date on the latest information in the world of escrow, title and lending to keep your transactions safe. Our field agents are handpicked and held to the highest standards because they are not only representatives of our company but also representatives of yours.
Compliance in Mobile Notary Services
Compliance is the backbone of secure and accurate notary services. It ensures that all legal standards and ethical expectations are met. For mobile notaries, compliance involves adhering to state-specific regulations, maintaining accurate records and keeping up-to-date with continuing education requirements.
Each state has its own set of rules for notaries, which can include everything from verifying a person’s identity to combating the growing threat of seller impersonation fraud to the types of documents that can be notarized. When closing deals across state lines, working with notaries who understand and adhere to these varied regulations is crucial to your success.
Notaries who uphold ethical standards are equally important. Our staff is trained to act impartially to maintain client confidentiality and avoid conflicts of interest. In addition, we frequently monitor our notaries’ reviews and compliance with all guidelines.
Background Checks for Mobile Notaries
Background checks ensure that individuals entrusted with sensitive legal documents have a history of integrity and reliability. A comprehensive background check for a mobile notary follows the Signing Professionals Workgroup Standard. It typically includes a review of criminal records, motor vehicle records, verification of identity and social security number and a check against national databases for any red flags. The National Notary Association states, “The background check covers ten years of federal, state and county records. In some states, the screening only goes back to the last seven years.” This screening helps to weed out individuals with a history of fraud or unethical behavior, safeguarding clients and stakeholders from potential risks.
By conducting regular intensive background checks, Notaries to You maintains a growing pool of roughly 70,000 trusted professionals who you can meet with safely and are well-equipped to handle confidential transactions.
Safeguarding Your Deals
The smallest error can significantly affect the title insurance, law and financial industries. Working with non-compliant notaries may delay the escrow process and cause legal disputes, financial losses and uncertainty about property ownership. Compliance and background checks are crucial defenses against those risks.
Compliance minimizes the risk of errors that could invalidate a document. Compliant companies like Notaries to You also follow legal and regulatory document handling and storage requirements. We use secure systems to manage and transmit sensitive information and protect your client’s privacy. We add even more security to your transactions with our cybersecurity insurance and have a $2,000,000 errors and omissions policy.
Background checks ensure that our notaries have a clean record and are free from any history of misconduct. This protects your clients from potential fraud, whether through intentional malpractice or negligent behavior–an important aspect in the era of increasing data breaches and identity theft. While a mobile notary can’t ensure total protection from scams like seller impersonation fraud, the right one can minimize the risk, especially on out-of-state deals.
Ensuring Your Physical Safety
One of the greatest benefits of working with a mobile notary is the added convenience of having them come to you. However, meeting outside of a traditional office setting or courthouse comes with risks. The fact of the matter is that your mobile notary public is often someone you’ve never met before. Background checks from a reliable company confirm that the notary has no history of violent or threatening behavior, which is particularly important in scenarios where meetings occur at private residences or isolated locations. You deserve the peace of mind that the individuals you are doing business with have been thoroughly vetted and can be trusted with your client’s personal information and physical safety.
Compliance and background checks are at the forefront of what we do at Notaries to You. All 70,000 of our notaries on staff are highly reviewed by clients and are vetted and cleared with background checks.
