The practical knowledge you need to walk into any notarization appointment — or loan signing — with clarity, confidence, and professional precision. Built for real appointments, taught by a working notary.
The General Notary & Loan Signing Training Course is a virtual, self-paced educational program designed and presented by Uptown Notary & Signing Co., LLC — a professional notary and signing firm operating out of downtown Dallas, Texas.
This course was built because good notary education is hard to find in one place. Notary law is fragmented by state. Loan signing standards are taught in scattered pieces. Professional expectations for client-facing appointments are rarely spelled out at all.
This course puts it together. Twenty-three modules. Practical content. Written and reviewed by a working, NNA-certified notary signing agent with direct experience in the types of appointments you'll be handling.
You work through the material on your schedule. There are no live sessions, no deadlines, and no expiration on your access. When you complete the course, you receive a certificate of completion.
Six distinct audiences — one course that meets them all where they are.
I built this course because the questions new notaries ask me are always the same. How do I check an ID? What do I do if the signer seems confused? Can I explain what the document says? What happens if I'm late?
Those questions don't get answered well by state commissioning packets or generic notary guides. They get answered by experience — or by someone who's willing to share it.
Every module in this course was written around real situations. Not hypotheticals. The things that actually happen at appointments.
This is practical education from someone who does this work every week.
Work through each module at your own pace. No deadlines. No expiration. Return to any section as many times as you need.
Notary law is not uniform across the United States. Each state sets its own rules for commission requirements, journal mandates, acceptable ID, certificate wording, RON authorization, thumbprint requirements, and the scope of notarial authority.
This course includes a state-specific notary law reference section covering key rules and variations for the most active notary markets in the country. The reference is designed to give you a working understanding of how your state's rules compare — and where they deviate from general practice.
The state reference section covers requirements including journal mandates, thumbprint rules, ID standards, RON authorization status, bond requirements, and commission duration.
Loan signings are the most complex and time-sensitive appointments a notary signing agent will encounter. Module 3 walks you through every stage of a real closing — from pre-signing prep to document delivery.
We believe in being completely transparent about what educational programs can and cannot accomplish.
