Both of these courses are available separately, but, when purchased together, they cost much less than they would be sold separately. I recommend purchasing them together so that you can learn about loan signing and then practice your knowledge with the workbook immediately after you study so you don't forget what you have learned. This is a great way to practice for the 123notary.com certification test.
The course description will be very long and in two parts: The loan signing course description will be first, with the workbook following.
The full loan signing course. Issues include:
- Understanding all of the important documents. 14 Documents are discussed including the note, deed of trust, right to cancel, settlement statement, truth in lending, W-9, Request for copy or transcript of tax form, the uniform residential loan application, occupancy affidavit, the good faith estimate, signature affidavit, statement of information grant deeds, and the identity statement. These documents were chosen because of either their importance, the amount of confusion and questions they generate, or the frequency that borrowers can't figure out where to sign them. Most other documents in the loan packages will not be discussed because they are either 1. Too difficult to explain properly unless you are the escrow officer or lender working on that particular loan. 2. Self explanitory. Or 3. Not very critical documents. The documents not discussed generally don't generate many questions.
- Notary procedures for special circumstances: Credible Witnesses, Powers of Attorney, Trustees, Sworn Oaths, Notaries requiring additional Acknowledgment Forms, signing by X, and Document preparation.
- Basic Loan Signing Procedures from A to Z.
- How to successfully market yourself to signing companies.
- All other procedures neccessary to loan signing, such as: communications, record keeping, efficient ways to schedule jobs, what you should charge, etc.
- Marketing your mobile notary and loan signing business. Every single effective way to market your mobile notary / loan signing business is discussed in detail here. Topics include:
- Sample price lists for every kind of notary and loan signing job including regular loan signings, signings with pick ups and drop offs, signings with laserprinted docs, and much more.
- How to get ahead by working for signing companies.
- How to get hired by high paying title companies.

The 123notary.com Loan Signing Workbook. - Not Sold Separately
Please read about what loan signers make.
This book should only be purchased by people who have purchased the economy, full, or certification preparation course. Otherwise you won't be able to answer the questions in it.
This book is a fantastic way to practice and absorb what you learned in your loan signing course. All of the questions are thought provoking and very practical and helpful. This is also a great way to practice for your certification test.
Topics include:
- 148 questions with either short answers or multiple choice answers. Some of the questions are regarding marketing. (No marketing questions will be on the certification test though)

Teacher Evaluation of the Workbook. - Not Sold Separately
This evaluation is very important. If you are doing your work wrong, I will catch you and teach you how to do it correctly. Many notaries do their journal entries completely wrong. You can lose your commission if you get caught by the authorities keeping your journal incorrectly or incompletely. Many notaries fill out acknowledgment forms in ways that can ruin a loan. I will catch your mistake before you ruin a real loan and lose a good client.
I will spend about 45 minutes writing point by point notes about whatever you did incorrectly. Notes will be typed and in a point by point style (numbered).
Here is an example:
1. The journal entry #2 is incorrect because it did not contain the correct name of the document (which is the deed of trust) and did not specify if it was an acknowledged signature or a jurat.
2. Journal entry #4 is missing a thumbprint which is required by CA law on all Deeds for real estate.
3. On practice #3, the initials should be ABC, not AC because the signer is signing with his middle initial included.
This evaluation will be done by correspondance through the mail (not by phone). Simply mail your completed work in to me and I will mail it back when I am done with my review of it. I usually only need two to three days before I send it back.
Completed evaluations will be sent by mail two or three days after I receive your completed workbook.
The evaluations are not sold separately. They are only available in combo #3. If you have any questions, please call 323-734-2494 or 323-933-5383.
The 123notary.com Loan Signing & Marketing Hotline - Not Sold Separately
Many new loan signers have a lot of questions that they need answered right away. This hotline is designed to help those notaries out. Many times, notaries are left at problem signings at night when the lender doesn't answer their phone leaving them confused. I can help you out during these situations.
This hotline also includes:
- 2 ten minute sessions with help marketing your service as a mobile notary / loan signer.
- 8 ten minute calls of 10 minutes or less regarding loan signing technical questions.
- This hotline is offered to you for one year of your purchase date of combo LS#3. (The hotline is only available to people who ordered combo LS#3.)
Due to my busy schedule, I may or may not be able to assist you at the exact time that you call (because I might be on the phone or at a signing), but, I will be able to help you the same day. You have a 50% chance of reaching me at a time that I am able to give you immediate assistance on any given call. I am easier to reach during the afternoons and evenings. The fee for this hotline covers you for a years membership to the hotline and up to 8 calls of up to ten minutes. Although I will most likely be happy to assist those who are on their 9th call, I only formally guarantee 8 calls.
The hotline is not sold separately. It is only available in combo #3.

The 123notary.com eBook List of 50+ Signing Companies AND The List of 55+ Most Popular Signing Companies
$19 No tax or shipping on ebooks
The 50+ list is a new list of screened signing companies. All of the companies on this list gave us their contact information and their permission to be on the list. All of them want to be contacted by notaries. Many companies refused to be on our list which saves you the trouble of calling them. This way, we did a lot of your phone work for you saving you hours of agonizing calling.
The list of most popular signing companies was written based on surveying many notaries and finding out which companies they liked and didn't like. We asked many of the notaries on our site which signing companies they liked and disliked the most. We got back a lot of helpful results which could save many notaries from working for the wrong companies. We only list the companies that got good reviews. The list has 44 companies on it. Contact information is NOT available on this list. The reason is because these companies did not ask to be contacted by notaries. This list is designed so you can reference new companies that call you. If they are on the list, you are probably safer working for them since other notaries thought highly enough to mention them favorably.
Some of the companies may also be on the 50+ list which does have contact information.

The 123notary.com Certification Preparation Course
FREE when you purchase the 123notary.com certification test
This course is usually in ebook format (but sometimes in physical book format depending on circumstances). If you get the ebook format, the downloading information will come in an email. It will only take 3 minutes to download your ebook.
This course is the minimum recomended reading before for taking the 123notary.com certification test. The full or economy loan signing course & workbook combo is the best way to prepare for the 123notary.com certification test. Those courses go more into detail about signing and marketing your mobile notary / loan signing services. However, those who study from the certification preparation course can expect to get 90 to 100% on the test if they study thoroughly.
This course does not prepare you for the state notary exam. You must already be a notary to take this course. It prepares you to be certified as a loan signer by 123notary.com. Certification will allow you to get a certification seal icon next to your name on our directory. This can help you to get more business, higher pay, and gain the confidence of people who want to hire you who don't know you. We found 60% of notaries, even ones that were certified by other sites, failed our test. That is why we now recommend purchasing one of our courses. After studying from one of our courses, the failure rate dropped to 25% and the ones who failed usually came within 5 to 10% of the required passing score which is much better than before.
This course was specially designed to be an inexpensive way to fully prepare notaries for the 123notary.com certification test. It is inexpensive to encourage notaries to take the test. There is a $29 fee for the certification test. Please see our page on certification for more details.
This course is based on parts of the full loan signing course. Only the parts that relate to questions on the test are included.
Topics include:
- Understanding the major documents: The Note, Deed of Trust, Right to Cancel, Truth in Lending, and the HUD Settlement Statement.
- Other documents. Many other documents will be discussed here.
- Notary Competence. Understanding correct notary procedure for loan documents including power of attorney signings.
- Practice tests for the 123notary.com certification exam.
This course is 22 pages.
This course is FREE when you purchase the certification test.
If you have any questions, please call 323-734-2494 or 323-933-5383.
The 123Notary.com Certification Test
$29.00 (no tax or shipping anywhere)
123notary.com now includes the cert prep ebook or regular book FREE with the purchase of this test. (whether or not you get the ebook or physical book depends on availability). You can read the description of the cert prep book by clicking here. This test is a loan signing certification exam. It is completely different from the state notary exam. To prepare for the state notary exam please visit www.becomeanotary.us.
Payment Methods
Online | By Phone | Check | Paypal
This fee allows you two chances to take the exam. If you fail the first time, you can take it again after 30 days (intended to be study time) for no extra charge. Any previous special prices or offers regarding certification with 123notary.com no longer are valid as of 1-24-03.
We advise reading one of the following loan signing courses before taking the exam.
- The Certification Preparation Course The Economy Loan Signing Course
- The Full Loan Signing Course
The reason for advising the courses is that 60% of the people who took our test without studying from my materials including those certified by other sites, failed our test. 85% of people who studied from my materials passed the test easily. Of the ones who didn't, they came very close to passing and passed their second time after studying for a few more hours. Since then, we have made the test a bit more difficult, so, without studying from my materials, you are almost guaranteed to fail.
Testing Procedures.
Tests are given online and are timed ( 6.5 minutes ) to ensure that you really know your materials. To pass, you can get only 2 wrong out of 15 questions. Most of the questions are multiple choice, but around 40% are short answer. Please quiz yourself before the test so you know that you can answer questions quickly. Please study hard, it is not fun for me or you to not pass the first time.
All of the material in this course is also in the economy and full loan signing courses.

Linda Pritt. 818-759-0555
Please use me as a reference. I have gotten 75+ jobs and referrals from 123notary.com. I found the course to be very informative. I thought I knew everything until I completed the course.
Janya Carlson - Las Vegas, NV.
Hi Jeremy,
I joined 123notary.com about two weeks ago after talking to you on the phone. I'm a notary in western North Carolina. I got called today to do a signing and the lady said she got my name from you - THANKS!! I am really enjoying the course I bought from you; it has some great information. Have a great day.
Sincerely, Wanda Crawford.
Although I have been doing signings for several months I decided to take the most basic course through 123notary.com which is the 30 minute loan signing course to increase my knowledge of loan papers. Several weeks after I passed the test, a signing company interviewed me over the phone to determine what I know about signing documents. This 30 minute loan signing course gave me the basic terms so I could answer the questions with confidence.
Jim Zilinsky.
Note: The 30 minute course is still offered although it is not advertised online anymore due to limited space on the loan signing course page.
Testimonials About the Signing Company List
Sorry that we don't have more referrals, we have not sold this list to that many people yet although sales of the list are better than ever this month because many people purchased the list in a combo.
I have found business in various ways, one being Jeremy's list of signing companies that I purchased from your site. That list was very helpful in getting started. You are more than welcome to use this testimonial if you like.

What do loan signers make?
Commissioned vs. Certified. What do these words mean? Let me first clear up some semantics that causes confusion.
You become "Commissioned" as a notary public by your state. Being a commissioned notary is a government made distinction and office. Being "Commissioned" as a notary is manditory to do any notary or loan signing work.
Being "Certified" as a loan signer is optional, and is not recognized by any state government. Certification is done through various notary web sites such as 123notary.com. 123notary.com Certification is a huge plus and is recognized by most (but not all) companies that use notaries.
To be a loan signer, you must first become a notary. Only your state government can give you a notary commission. You don't need to be certified as a loan signer, although you must be "Commissioned" (that is the correct term by the way) as a notary public. Being a certified loan signer is a big plus because it means that you have studied the subject and passed a test. Many of the notary web sites have their own certification process and it is upsetting to many notaries to have to be re-certified so many times.
Which certification is better?
If you are on 123notary.com, then the 123notary.com certification is the best. If you are on NASA, then their's is the best, etc. Get certified by whomever you advertise with. If you are on five sites, then it is wise to be certified by all five even though there is a cost. If you are serious about the business, these small fees and expenditures of your time will seem insignificant in the long run.
What do loan signers make?
Loan signers generally make between $50 and $150 per signing. Occasionally, people make $40 or $45, or above $150, but it is rare. The majority of signing companies pay $50 per signing. Many pay $60 and $75 too, but not as many as the ones who pay $50. Title, escrow, and lenders often have a more flexible budget to pay notaries. Many will pay a sliding scale, or $75 to $150.
How does the amount companies pay vary?
The amount companies pay depends on them and not so much on the notary. Some companies have a fixed amount they pay, and no amount of bargaining will change their point of view. Others bargain, and some only pay top dollar like $125 per signing or $150. To get top dollar from companies and keep them as clients, you should be one of the best service providers, otherwise, the top paying clients won't keep you for long or even use you in the first place. Most high paying jobs are gotten from internet advertising. There is a much greater supply of low paying jobs which can be gotten from the notary calling companies.
What can I expect to make as a beginner?
Beginners typically get mostly $50 jobs with some higher paying ones thrown in too.
A beginner can expect to make $3000 to $4000 the second, third month (if they are full time) while they are gaining experience and contacts. After that, if the notary is serious about the business, they can make $4000 and up. It will require a commitment of 6 days per week whenever the clients need they notary (night or day).
What do the top paid notaries do to get top pay?
Here is what the top paid notaries do to make good money. If a notary makes many stops in a day and is an efficient worker and scheduler, they can make $300 in a day. All it takes is 6 jobs. To get lots of jobs every day, a notary must be accessable by phone all the time and be ready all the time to work. The more the notary says yes, the more people will want to use them (assuming the quality of the notary's work is good). You will need to always have your schedule with you and be ready to book appointments when you are driving, sleeping, swimming, etc. You have to always be ready to schedule things. It is unsafe to write when you are driving, so pull over to write down the appointment time.
Tip, when you are driving, bring a handheld tape recorder to take the borrower information so you don't have to pull over when you are in a hurry. When you arrive at your destination, you can replay the tape, and write down the information in your schedule book.
As with any other business, appointments get made, and broken all the time. You have to be a non-stop scheduling machine to make serious money in this business. Good schedulers can make $600 in a good day doing loan signing.
Another technique for getting high pay.
Another technique notaries use is to only work for higher pay. This allows them to take less jobs and still make good money. More experienced notaries can get away with charging more because they have a good client base. Sometimes higher pay will require them to go farther. This technique is good for people who want to do the minimum amount of scheduling and billing. The marketing course (which is sold separately AND as a chapter of all of the loan signing courses goes into detail about how to get top paying jobs.
What are the best ways to get business?
The best way to get business is to advertise heavily on internet notary directories like 123notary.com and other ones too. Another way to get business is to get a list(s) of signing companies and cold call them. Get on their databases, and pester them for work every so often. 123notary.com sells a list of 50+ signing companies that has helped many beginners to get a jump start to making around $4000 per month.
I hope this answers everybody's questions about how much notaries make.
