A Notary Signing Agent is a Notary Public who is hired as an independent contractor by a closing agent of the lender, title or escrow company, or signing service on behalf of the financial institution to ensure that real estate loan documents are properly executed by the borrower, notarized and returned for processing. In Michigan, a notary public is an officer appointed by the Michigan Secretary of State to attest to the authenticity of a person’s signature, to administer oaths, and to witness acknowledgements.
