Loan Signing Agent vs Notary — The NSA Path
Every NSA is a notary; not every notary is an NSA. NSAs sign loan packages; standard notaries handle one-off acts.
A Notary Signing Agent (NSA) is a notary trained to walk borrowers through and notarize real estate loan documents. NSAs carry E&O insurance and complete background checks via NNA or similar.
