Notary Public Business Cards for Notary Signing Agents and Loan Signing Professionals

Notary publics and notary signing agents are the commissioned state officials who serve as impartial witnesses to the execution of important legal and financial documents — verifying the identity of the person signing, confirming they are signing willingly and under no duress, and applying the official notarial certificate and seal that authenticates the document for legal and official purposes. Notaries work in real estate transactions, estate planning (wills, trusts, powers of attorney), legal proceedings (affidavits, depositions), business agreements, immigration documents, vehicle title transfers, and a vast range of other document transactions requiring notarized signatures.

What Notary Cards Include

Your Credentials and Commissions

State Notary Commission:

• Every notary public is commissioned by their state; "Notary Public, State of [State]" or "Commissioned Notary Public, [State]" is the standard designation
• Commission number — each state assigns a commission number; may be required on notarial certificates
• Commission expiration date — notary commissions expire (typically 2–4 years); "Commission Expires: [date]" may appear on the notarial seal stamp but generally not on the business card itself

NNA (National Notary Association):

• NNA member — the primary national professional organization for notaries
• NNA Background Screened — many title companies and signing services require NNA background screening; "NNA Background Screened" on card signals compliance with signing service requirements
• NNA Certified Loan Signing Agent — NNA's certification program for loan signing agents; covers mortgage documents, the signing process, title company protocols, lender requirements, and notarial acts applicable to real estate closings

Loan signing certifications:

• Loan Signing System (LSS) Certified Signing Agent — Mark Wills' popular training and certification program for loan signing agents; well-recognized in the signing agent market
• Certified Loan Signing Agent — various programs offer this designation
• CLSA (Certified Loan Signing Agent) — similar designation from various certification programs

Additional notarial authorizations:

• RON (Remote Online Notary / Remote Online Notarization) — commission or authorization to perform notarizations online via audio-video conference, where allowed by state law; increasingly important capability; "RON Authorized" or "Remote Online Notarization Available" on card
• Electronic Notarization (eNotarization) — performing notarizations on electronic documents with an electronic seal; separate from RON in some states
• Apostille services — many notaries also offer apostille processing services (authenticating documents for use in other countries under the Hague Apostille Convention)

NASS (National Association of Secretaries of State): Administers the Apostille convention for the US.
