BEFORE you even start...can you pass the required background check?

You may be surprised that your driving record is one of many things that would prevent you from becoming an NNA certified NSA. This information is not prominently shown on the NNA site, but one would be wise to check it out before you spend any money.

Wonder if they piggyback them - I’d have a 9 if so

My car accident a couple years ago would fall under ā€œfailure to maintain control of a vehicleā€(5) and ā€œhazardous or careless drivingā€ (4) (which was what my ticket said). - I would think careless driving would count for more than 4.

And who made this list up? Wonder what authority …I see what’s at the top but what authority is this based on? Just curious.

What authority? None…but like so much of this biz, its intent was to ā€˜comply’ to CFPB’s ā€˜oversight by Lender’ guidelines. Believe they do piggyback (add all points). The Signing Professionals Workgroup was initiated (I think) by Lenders &/or TCs trying to find some way to keep NSAs viable under clear-as-mud CFPB ā€˜rules’, or as they prefer to call them, ā€˜guidelines’. They turned to the NNA for help…or the NNA saw another opportunity to make something mandatory & make more money. I dunno–wasn’t there. BUT, at the time, anyone could pay to play (become a member) and I know one SS (at least) did. This was back in 2013 or 14 when the CFPB was the current bugaboo.
