is a closing agent the same as a certified signing agent
A Signing Agent is a duly commissioned notary public who has become skilled in the signing portion of the mortgage loan closing process, through experience and/or education. There are some certification programs available, but being certified is not a legal requirement.he closing agent may also be a notary, and will often locate a suitable signing agent through a service like Statewide Document Services. Even though the time when everyone is sitting down to sign papers is often referred to as a closing, this signing is really only one part of the closing process.
