Getting Fidelity Approved

Hi Lisa!

I sent you an email asking for your help in getting on Fidelity Approved’s list:). I think it may still be sitting in your Junk mail box:(
Please help:)

Here is the email I sent:)

Hello Lisa!

My name is Sinath Jerome. I was referred by Shelly Dyer to contact you. She said you helped a lot of people. I am seeking your help in getting my name on Fidelity Approved List in Colorado. Please help me.

I am an NNA Notary Signing Agent-certified and background screened with a Colorado $100,000 4-years E&O insurance, NNA Member, with over 15 years of experience in the banking industry.
Please view my NNA credentials here: https://www.signingagent.com/profile/160809187

I am proficient in all types of commercial and personal loans and lines as well as providing bank clients with their notary services for a broad range of transactions, including deposits, lending products, trusts, POA, wills, and others.

After completing my B.A. Degree at The University of Maine at Presque Isle in 1993, I went straight to work in the banking industry, receiving several Service Excellence Awards and Outstanding Sales Performance Awards for being one of the top bankers while serving clients for Key Bank and Compass Bank over a 15-year period. My duties have always been customer-focused across a range of positions, including Assistant Vice President, Small Business Specialist, Relationship Manager and Branch Sales Manager. Meeting and working with great people is a core passion, and while I am fairly easy-going my focus never strays from a professional representation and attention to every detail, whether training and mentoring a colleague or providing guidance on a transaction process. I have closed many types of loans and lines, including commercial loans and lines, construction loans, 1st and 2nd mortgages, credit cards, airplane purchases, along with personal secured and unsecured loans and lines, boats, autos, motorcycles and equipment. I am very well familiar and comfortable with many types of closing documents, processes and procedures.

Good morning Lisa, would you please assist me in getting Fidelity Approval?.

How do you get fidelity approved, please?

Lisa, I am pretty sure I’m on your list of Fidelity approved NSA. Could you provide the date I was placed on your list so I’ll know when I will be approved as a stand-alone Fidelity Signing Agent? I also just received my Notary2Pro NSA certificate FYI.

Hi Lisa,
I’ve done some work for C2C. Would you be able to sponsor me for Fidelity? I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know if there is anything I need to do. Thanks!

I don’t see where anyone has said ‘how’ to apply for a stand-alone approval. A few people have asked but Lisa keeps replying. I don’t want to go through a signing agency. I have the insurance and all the qualifications. Can someone please give me the information.

It is my understanding that you have to be sponsored my an escrow officer or work under a signing service as an approved vendor for 2 years to apply to go direct. If you are doing direct business now then ask the escrow office to help push the app thur. You going by yourself is not very successful from what im told.

This is the million dollar question of the century! @LISA1 can you help us with this question? After a notary has been an “approved” Fidelity Notary for 2 years, you said in one of your comments on this thread that, a notary can THEN be independently approved through Fidelity as long as their E&O is increased to 100k. Is this true and if it is, who/where/how do we go/do to get this independent approval WITHOUT a sponsor?

Hi there,
after 2 years you can be hired by a Fidelity company escrow officer. I would suspect your E&O insurance needs to be $100k.
My company has to have $5 million E&O
$5 million of Automobile insurance
$5 million of Cyber Crime
$5 million of General Liability
I think there is another one… but cant off hand remember.

But as a signing agent, so far its just the E&O, and you will be listed on their web site for those agents who look for their own signing agents, and not through a company like C2C.
I hope this helps

Lisa

Thank you very much for your reply.

Lisa,

You say you “suspect” our E&O Insurance needs to be 100K. Do you know for sure? I’m asking because you seem to have a close direct relationship with them and I’ve been trying to get a response from Fidelity on this issue and have never been given clarification. How does an independent notary who has been sub-contractor Fidelity Certified for the 2 years, get certified as an independent notary with them? Explain what you mean by “hired by a Fidelity company escrow officer”.

I was advised that I was fidelity approved but how do I verify this?

I want to see how to get Fidelity Approved. May you please tell me where to start with this? Do I need to go to an escrow company or can I apply to Fidelity?

Michbeecher I was told I was ‘Fidelity Approved’ by a couple signing agencies who sponsored me for that but that just means I am approved to do Fidelity signings for them. It definitely does not mean I am “Fidelity Approved” nationwide, which I verified when I called the FNTG (Fidelity National Title Group) people to ask. So far I’ve never seen a direct answer on how to become truly "Fidelity Approved. I’m no longer trying to do that since I’m so busy anyway but at least it’d be nice to know how to get that Holy Grail Fidelity Approved checkmark.

Hello Lisa,

I just emailed you please reply thank you.

You are most likely an approved Fidelity subcontractor notary, which means you are approved to work as subcontractor to one of the many signing services who have contracts directly with Fidelity.

To become a Fidelity approved independent notary, contact your regional Fidelity office (my regional office email is approved-notary-nocal@fnf.com) for information to start the process.

You will need industry references Fidelity can confirm, a $100,000 E&O policy, and some additional requirements specific to your state. Then wait.

Be aware that Fidelity will not approve you as an independent notary if you are a licensed real estate agent/broker.

I received an email from “approved-notary-socal@fnf.com” reminding me to update my contact info/profile in order to receive the background check renewal reminders and any other new communication from Fidelity National Title Group. Really, I need a reminder? :joy:

As a newbie THANK YOU for the tip :wink:
I will increase my E&O from 25K to 100K

Lisa,
