Streling Direct background check

Just tried to complete and get a background check for FNF, instread of going thru xyz.
1) their website is up but it correct you if it thinks you are not entering "correct" information.
2) it come at a cost of $68.
IMHO it aint worth it. I really get idea it is giving xyz a kickback, commission for us to use this site.

Important Communication



Dear Nationwide Signing Approved Notary,



We received notification on October 8, 2013, that all notaries conducting signings for Fidelity National Financial and any of its subsidiaries for their major lenders will required to have background check on file with Nationwide Signings. If you do not have a background check on file with us, you can still preform signings for FNF Company but not for any transaction to which any of their major lender are their insured party.



Fidelity National Financial will only accept two companies’ background checks; they are National Notary Association or Sterling Info System.



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=E62BDA5A1ABB42-39F8FE13. 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.



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]. We will 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. In order for us to validate the certificate with the NNA, you should be fully compliant with the NNA including becoming a “certified signing agent”.



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.



If you should have any questions, please contact Reagan Layne at 602-606-8786.

Sure, but you will be out of business very shortly as you will lose a lot of money.

Not at all. In and out in 15 mins UNLESS they want a haircut, or nails done, car wash or re-paving work., no borrowers copy with instructions and most important, apply for NSA Welfare and WIC.

It's because this issue is coming up every day. There have

been so many discussions, including Harry's response. That's all. It's back to the "search before you post" thing--you know.
I'm tired of XYZ getting so much free press! ;-(
