Snapdocs For Notaries?

Notaries can join the network to receive mobile notary signing appointment notifications. These offers tend to be issued at "sub-market" rates, unfortunately.

Snapdocs standardizes every loan and closing type with a single, streamlined process, enabling borrowers to close in theoretically under 15 minutes. Similar competitors would be Qualia, SigningOrder, NotaryDash, ZigSig & Closewise.

Notary Connect

Snapdocs' Notary Connect feature automatically schedules notaries from the notary database, again similar to those previously mentioned platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Snapdocs for Mobile Notaries

📦 What is Snapdocs?

Snapdocs is a third-party notary scheduling platform that connects signing services, title companies, and lenders with mobile notaries across the U.S. It acts as an intermediary—streamlining how notaries are assigned to real estate closings, loan signings, and document delivery tasks.

🤝 How does Snapdocs help mobile notaries?

Snapdocs offers:

• Automated job notifications

• Centralized document access

• Calendar syncing for availability

• Ratings and reviews to build credibility

• A “Notary Profile” page for exposure
  
  

For newer notaries, it can provide quicker access to signings without needing direct client relationships.

📉 Are there any downsides to using Snapdocs?

Yes, several mobile notaries have raised concerns, including:

• Reduced payouts – Because Snapdocs acts as a middleman, a portion of your fee is taken by either Snapdocs or the signing service that books through them.

• No transparency on reviews – Title companies can leave negative performance marks on your profile without your knowledge or the ability to dispute or appeal them.

• Your profile markets their brand – Snapdocs uses your Notary Profile as a landing page to grow their platform, not your personal business. Any web traffic you generate ultimately benefits their brand, not yours.
  
  

💰 How much does Snapdocs pay per signing?

Fees vary, but many notaries report lower-than-average payouts, often ranging from $60 to $90 per loan signing—significantly less than what independent notaries charge for direct clients.

👀 Can I get direct business through Snapdocs?

No. Snapdocs is designed to keep notaries within their ecosystem. Clients contact you through Snapdocs, not your personal business site. You cannot directly market to title companies unless invited off-platform.

📲 How do I get more signings through Snapdocs?

The algorithm favors notaries who:

• Quickly respond to job offers

• Complete background checks and credentials

• Maintain positive feedback (which isn’t always visible or contestable)
  That said, newer notaries often find it difficult to rank unless they take low-paying jobs to build volume.
  
  

🔐 Can I control the information on my Snapdocs profile?

Only partially. You can upload your credentials and business info, but Snapdocs controls the layout, branding, and visibility. You don’t own or control the traffic or how your services are presented.

❌ Can I opt out of Snapdocs or remove my profile?

You can stop accepting jobs, but Snapdocs may retain your profile or use past data to maintain platform metrics. Some notaries have reported difficulties in fully deleting their accounts or information.

💼 Is Snapdocs worth it for full-time notaries?

It depends. Snapdocs can offer volume over margin, but if you're building a sustainable, direct-client business, you may want to limit reliance on middlemen and focus on your own Google Business profile, website, or local networking.

🚀 What are alternatives to Snapdocs?

Notaries looking for more control and higher margins often use:

• Google Business Profile for local leads

• Notary directories (like NobleLegalPros or Notary Rotary)

• Facebook Ads & YouTube content

• Independent websites and SEO

• Leads Lists of all 425 vendors (not on Snapdocs)
  
  

These strategies build your brand—not someone else’s.
