State Notary Agent®
The Florida Notary Public Directory
A notary signing agent presents a mortgage closing package to a borrower, directs them where to sign and date, performs the notarizations, and returns the executed package to the title company or lender. A typical refinance package runs 100–200 pages and takes 45–90 minutes at the table.
What the job is not: giving advice. A signing agent may identify a document by name and point to where it is signed. Explaining what a term means for the borrower's situation, or advising whether they should sign, is the unauthorised practice of law.
The Florida commission is the entry ticket. The work is gated by what the platforms and title companies require on top:
Realistic per-signing fees, depending on product and market:
Subtract printing, toner, paper, mileage, and shipping. Net is meaningfully lower than gross, and volume depends entirely on interest rates.
Assignments come from signing services and title companies, not from consumer directories. A directory listing produces general notary work — a $10 acknowledgment plus a travel fee — not loan closings.
Loan signing work is dispatched. You register with signing service platforms, they send you assignments, and they keep a spread. Separately, independent title companies and closing law firms maintain their own lists of notaries they call directly, which is where the better fees are.
If you are a Florida notary looking for signing assignments, RON Closing dispatches both remote online sessions and in-person signings to commissioned Florida notaries.
Per-signing fees typically range from $85 to $150 for a refinance, $100 to $200 for a purchase package, and $125 to $275 for a reverse mortgage. Printing, toner, mileage, and shipping come out of that, and volume depends heavily on interest rates.
No. Florida law requires only a notary commission. However, most signing services and title companies require a background screening completed within the last 12 months, errors and omissions insurance, and often a signing agent certification before assigning work.
Florida does not require any. In practice, $25,000 is a common minimum among signing platforms, and $100,000 clears essentially every published threshold. Some platforms require $100,000 specifically for real estate signings.
No. A signing agent may identify a document by name and indicate where to sign. Explaining what a document means for the borrower's situation, or advising whether to sign, is the unauthorised practice of law.
Yes, practically speaking. Loan packages print on both letter and legal size paper, so a dual-tray laser printer is standard equipment, along with a scanner for same-day scanbacks.
