The National Notary Association (NNA),claims to be the nation's leading authority on notarization since 1957. I'd check with your state laws first...The NNA is certainly dedicated to selling overpriced bonds, insurance & supplies to Notaries across the United States.
You can and should become a Certified Notary Signing Agent through the NNA's program. This training allows you to handle loan documents, increasing your income potential as a notary signing agent. This is the ONLY required certification outside of state regulations that is needed to work in this niche. Influencers like Mark Wills telling you that you need to be LSS certified by the "Loan Signing System" is simply not true.
It is possible that Joining the NNA's annual conference may inspire you, expand your network, and stay updated on the latest developments in the Notary field.
The NNA boasts that this membership can help you achieve your goals as a Notary, such as:
Listing on FindaNotary.com, which is overrated, to say the least
Access to notary training resources & supplies
Professional support and guidance (when they answer the phone)
Discounts on Notary supplies and services (not sure on this one, but I use Amazon)
