eDocs - probably a silly question

Hello everyone,
I’m new to mobile notary/signing agent but I have been a commissioned notary since 2013, mainly for work related documents. I am in the mortgage industry and am very familiar with the entire process. I’ve prepared the closing documents for refinances, purchases and helocs etc.

But for some reason, the term document delivery eDocs has me stumped and I could use clarification. I have searched for a eDoc service to sign up with to receive documents to no avail and I’m left thinking this means what it implies. They will email the package to me or instruct me on a secure website to access them, like Qualia.

Any insight would be grand.

Thank you!

That part is correct. I’m not familiar with Qualia.

Hi Ashton,
Thank you for the response! Qualia is a program title companies use to send documents. I’ve used in the mortgage processing capacity to receive title commitments, etc so on. It is a secure site and was the closest I could think of that would relate to loan closings documents.

Just saw this question and it is not silly. If you are referring the Services section in your SigningAgent.com profile, if you say YES to eDocs (edocs = ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS) it means you can accept loan documents via email, or are you willing to download loan documents from their online platform. Always mark this as YES if you are willing to let a hiring company email you the loan documents or download it from their signing platform.

Edocs in this case does not mean enotary, electronic notary, or even electronic signing. You only need an email address to be able to receive edocs. So this is GOOD QUESTION that many new signing agents have but are afraid to ask, or they didn’t know what it meant and so they just made an assumption.
