Background checks

Hello everyone. I was just wondering what other signing agents had to say about this new background check requirement. I'm a little ticked that we have to pay to be background certified by multiple listing agencies, when we have already had a background check done by our commissioning state. (at least I think all states do their own background check, as I know that both my commissioning states of New York & Florida did before granting commission)
As Notaries Public, we are trusted officials right?
Anyway, just wanted to get some feedback
Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.....

Re: Background checks - Annette

Are you saying you are commissioned in NY and Florida? Or did you move to Fl from NY or visa versa?

Re: Background checks - Annette

I have recently relocated to Florida from NY so yes I hold commissions in both states. NY states that you must have a residence but not necessarily hold residency.

Re: Background checks - Annette

So you are still a resident of NY??? NY requires you to be a resident - to me that suggests you are required to reside in the state. I am confused.
Florida requires you to be a full time resident.
