I was trying to sign up with Closewise and they required a 3rd party certification other than NNA. If you have one you can recommend, please share!
@skywalktrace By any chance did you see this comprehensive post from this AM?

SPECIAL NOTE: There is immediately available information found within the Notary Cafe database on this topic.
This information is a GOLDMINE!
Most members express that they find it difficult/NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of information available within the database that has been generously contributed by your sagacious fellow business owners over the years . . .
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
Also, accessing the database to locate information about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . . 
Do you mean a background check?
In case it helps, I completed the Notary Trust Delivery Agent certification program offered by Notary Coach in order to subscribe to Closewise. Right now, I also have a Notary Star subscription, and I plan to continue developing my skills. I found a lot of features I like in Closewise that were not available with NotaryAssist. Please do your own research and make your own choices, but I hope this helps.
