Hello notary family,
I keep hearing everyone talk about fidelity approved, please someone explain what it is and the benefits? Is it worth it?. FYI I am in Texas
There are 2 types of âfidelity approvedâ. One is for signing services & thatâs nothing super. The preferred approval is thru a Lender or Broker EOâs recommendation, which will get you direct business (cuts out the middle man SS).

Thank you! How do I get approved?
You have to be sponsored by either a signing service or an escrow officer/loan officer. Keep in mind if youâre sponsored by a signing service you are Fidelity Approved for that signing service only; being sponsored by an escrow officer or loan officer will get you Fidelity Approved and you will be approved for any title company who contracts you. Also, in the agreement you sign, you cannot advertise in any of your profiles, your website or any other advertising media you use, that you are Fidelity Approved.
This is my understanding of that approval as Iâve read it here.

Morning Linda,
So when having an escrow officer approve you it is just a matter of building a relationship with title companies? Also, is it worth the hassle of getting Fidelity approved ?
An escrow officer âsponsorsâ you - doesnât approve youâŠ
As to whether itâs worth it is a question for others on this forum who have gone through the process - I never did. My info is culled from reading here and elsewhere.
