There's a very big chance the package is going to get quickly thrown onto a scanner, so no paper clips OR staples. That's why it was recommended above (by Mike?) that your certificates include an optional section at the bottom that includes information unique and specific to the document it's attached to so that, as he indicated, it can't be used fraudulently. There are all kinds of possibilities for that, so do some research (including on this forum) and figure out what makes the most sense within your state. (A loan/file/escrow number is a good place to start...)
One more thing that no one else mentioned... IMO, the most important knowledge to have down cold before doing a loan signing is the nitty gritty activity of being a Notary Public! As an NSA, you'll run into all kinds of crazy situations and it's not uncommon to find your notary decisions challenged. You may even be asked to do things that aren't legal, sometimes by the very folks who hire you. They just want a completed package, but it's your signature and stamp on those certificates and your rear end that's on the line with every notarization you complete. And as someone else said, there's a lot at stake with every package for a significant number of interested parties involved in every transaction.
