Executive Notary Services
Just received this email from Executive Notary Services. Since when can these signing services suggest or tell a Notary where to get a background check. I don't do enough work with Executive Notary to even consider going through either one of these companies for a background check. So my answer to this is, sorry, thanks but no thanks.
THIS IS AN FYI ONLY, IF YOU ARE AN ACTIVE NOTARY SIGNING AGENT WORKING WITH EXECUTIVE NOTARY SERVICES, HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I HAVE RECEIVED FROM FNF. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT ME THE REQUIRED INFO,PLEASE DISREGARD THIS MESSAGE.
As previously communicated, effective November 1, 2013, all notaries conducting signings for FNF's major lenders will be required to have a background check on file with FNF (Fidelity National Financial and any of its subsidiaries) in accordance with their service agreements executed with each of these lenders. If you do not have a background check on file, you can still perform signings for Executive Notary Services but NOT for any transactions to which any of FNF'smajor lenders or their insured party.
FNF will ONLY accept two vendor's background checks, either the NNA (National Notary Association) or Sterling Info Systems.
The portal with Sterling has just been set-up. If you choose to use this vendor over the NNA, Go to: = https://workforce.sterlingdirect.com/InvitationCodePage?InvitationCode=A5619EF045773-31818921. Leave in the invitation code provided and simply click "begin" to start. At the next screen, you will have to "create an account". Thereafter, follow the on-screen instructions provided. Do not use any other portal or method to enter the Sterling site, or your background check will be invalid.
Please be certain to enter all of your information accurately; you will receive notification via email about retrieving a copy of your background check for your records. The cost of the background check will range from $55 and up depending on the complexity of the background check and the states that you have resided in within the last 7-10 years. You do not need to send FNF a copy of the report; we will receive a copy directly from Sterling.
If you have had a background check previously done by the NNA, please forward a copy or screen shot of your certificate to [e-mail address] I will then forward to my client at FNF and theywill verify your background check with the NNA and note you as an approved notary for these major lenders. Only send the certification and not the actual screening.
Besides the background check, we MUST have a signed copy of the attached "authorization and release". This document authorizes US to confidentially release the background check to a lender as permitted by the audit provision of their service agreement.
PLEASE SCAN THE BACKGROUND SCREENED CERTIFICATE FROM EITHER THE NNA OR STERLING INFO SYSTEMS ALONG WITH THE FNF AUTORIZATION AND RELEASE FORM TO [e-mail address]. PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FNF RELEASE FORM AND WE WILL SEND YOU ONE. PLEASE SCAN IT BACK WITH THE BACKSCROUND CERTIFICATE IN THE SAME EMAIL. THANK YOU!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO, WE APPRECIATE YOU!
Sincerely,
TAMARA CRUZ AND TEAM, EXECUTIVE NOTARY SERVICES.
