How To Update Your SigningAgent.com Profile
If you are currently an NNA Certified Notary Signing Agent, it’s a simple matter to revitalize your profile through the NNA website.
- Get started by going to NationalNotary.org and clicking the blue Login button at the top-right corner of the page. Enter your email and password.
-
Once you’re logged in, hover over your name at the top-right side of the page. A drop-down menu will appear with the option to select ‘My NNA.’ When you click it, you’ll be taken to your NNA dashboard.
-
From here, click ‘My Signing Agent Profile’ on the left-hand menu. If you’re doing this for the first time, you’ll get a prompt to update your contact details. The page will refresh, and you’ll see the 6 sections of information displayed on your profile.
-
The top section includes details like, your name, the name used for your NNA Signing Agent Background Screening and the expiration dates for your NNA membership, NNA exam, and commission. Some of the fields in this section are automatically filled in — and some you can edit yourself by clicking the edit button. If you find something wrong with any of the information you’re unable to edit, our Customer Care team can help you update it. If you’ve uploaded your Notary commission certificate, you can view it here. If you bought your Notary errors and omissions insurance from the NNA, you’ll see your policy amount and expiration date. If you got your E&O policy elsewhere, you can add the information here.
-
To add or change your photo, click “Edit” on the top-right corner and read the directions on the page carefully. Choose the “Browse” option and select your profile picture. Keep in mind that it should be a professional style photo with only YOU in it. Don’t forget to click “save” and stay on the page until the spinner stops. If you go to a different page, or close the window, you could lose your changes.
-
The next section covers your detailed Contact Information. While you may have gotten a prompt to confirm some of the basics when you logged in, this section allows you to add more public information like your company name, website, mobile number, and alternate mailing address. Click the “save” button when you’re finished making changes.
- The next section is where you can personalize your SigningAgent.com profile with details about your skills and availablility, such as languages you speak, distance you can travel, remote notarization or IPEN vendors you work with, your hours of operation and other information.
- If you want to mention any diversity related information about your business (e.g. your business is minority-owned, veteran-owned, woman-owned or other business certifications, you can check applicable information in the next section.
- NSA Connection is optional and allows you to privately network with fellow Notary Signing Agents. You can also choose to display partial or full profile information.
- The last section provides a maximum of 2,000 characters for you to enter any additional information you think is important to share.
Optional ‘identity verification’ for your SigningAgent.com profile
While it’s not required for your SigningAgent.com directory listing, when you create your profile, there’s an optional extra step, “identity verification,” where you can voluntarily submit additional identifying data to help confirm to lenders and title companies that your identity has been verified and you are who you claim to be.
When you are creating your profile, after you pass your background screening, you will be notified and provided with a “Next Step” prompt that will ask if you want to complete the identity verification process. You can skip this step if you don’t wish to continue, but it’s a great way to let people who need a Signing Agent’s services know that you have gone through additional vetting.
To go through the identity verification process, you will need to:
- Click on the provided link or QR code.
- Scan a government-issued ID document such as a driver’s license or passport, and enter some information about yourself.
- Take and submit a selfie that matches the physical attributes on the provided ID.
Once you have finished, you’ll receive a confirmation that your ID was successfully verified. Dentity (the company that handles the verification process) does not save your biometric data and encrypts any personal information provided to prevent unauthorized access to your data.
More details about the identity verification process can be found at Dentity’s website.
