For Notaries

Yes, the CloseWise notary tool and the auto upload features were built just for this! We encourage you to use CloseWise’ free or premium signing agent software to manage the entirety of your notary business. For those signings not received through CloseWise, just add them to your dashboard. There are a few advantages to this:

  • You will have one central dashboard with intuitive features to track all of your loan signings and payments for services.
  • The more signings you manage with CloseWise, the higher you will rank when companies search for notaries in your area.

CloseWise for free allows you to receive closing offers, intuitively manage your schedule, automate client updates, manage accounting, and automate mileage logs. These features alone should increase and organize your workflow, but CloseWise Professional adds additional features that automate time consuming processes, adds enhanced features to the free accounting and reporting, and gives you a better overview of your business. For example:

There are a number of ways that CloseWise helps notaries increase their loan signing volume. For example:

In the signing business communication is key!

With the click of one button you can:

  • Contact the signer. 
  • Confirm the appointment or revise the time, which automatically updates your client
  • Send status updates letting your client know you arrived and the final status before they even think to ask.
  • Use your preferred mapping feature automatically to Navigate to your appointment
  • And that’s just one feature from just one screen

One of the keys is to fully complete your notary profile with a professional photo, a clear description of your work history as a notary, set working hours, your standard fees, and all of the documents and information requested. The more information available in your profile, the higher you will rank in CloseWise notary search results. Additionally, the more a title agent or signing service can learn about you in your profile, the more likely they will assign you to their loan closing.

Secure Document Transfer
CloseWise worries about security so you don’t have to. Especially now with the CFPB’s new mortgage rule changes, CloseWise sees information security as paramount. CloseWise uses SSL (secure sockets layer) security technology to send all emails and documents so you never have to worry again about whether your signers’ personal identity and financial information is protected.

What is SSL? 
It is a security protocol for technology that secures the communication between Internet users and their service providers. SSL is what online banks use to make sure your financial transactions are secure. In short, it’s what’s happening in the browser whenever you see the little lock icon in your web browser’s address bar. It is required that as a company transferring secure data you also have an SSL certificate for your website. If you do not have this yet, we will help guide you through the process, so you can make sure you are adhering to all security and compliance requirements.

We know you aim to deliver the best, hassle-free customer service to your loan signers, and we love that we can help you do that. Signing on the dotted line for a mortgage can be a stressful and confusing experience for consumers, but CloseWise helps you communicate more often and easier with all parties in the process to help avoid errors and build confidence for signers, signing agents, and loan signing companies. You can set your account to send automatic reminders to notaries about downloading signing documents and upcoming signings to make sure they are on time and prepared for each loan signing. You can automatically send information to your clients, including notary profiles and documents, to help them feel prepared and comfortable with the closing process.

You will choose the subdomain of your choice. You can choose from just your company name (ie: orders.yourcompany.com) or your company name combined with the CloseWise name (ie: yourcompany.CloseWise.com). Additionally, you can set up your email notifications to be branded with your own or CloseWise’ branding.
