Becoming a Notary Signing Agent (NSA) in West Virginia is a great way to expand your notary business and tap into the real estate industry. If you’re looking for a flexible career or side hustle, here’s what you need to know to get started:
✅ Become a Commissioned Notary Public – You must first be a West Virginia Notary Public, commissioned by the Secretary of State.
✅ Get Loan Signing Training & Certification – While not required, training helps you understand mortgage documents and boosts your credibility. I took CertiPro!
✅ Obtain a Background Check & E&O Insurance – Lenders and title companies require a background screening and recommend Errors & Omissions (E&O) Insurance for protection.
✅ Choose Remote or Mobile Services – West Virginia allows Electronic Notarization (eNotary) and Remote Online Notarization (RON), making it easier to work with clients from anywhere!
✅ Start Marketing Yourself – Networking with title companies, real estate agents, and signing services is key. A strong LinkedIn presence, business website, and online directories can help!
I’ve gone through this process myself, and it has opened so many doors. If you have questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out! #NotarySigningAgent #WestVirginiaNotary #LoanSigningAgent #RealEstateClosings
