@donaldsonnp You & I are at the same crossroads . . . 
There have been times in the past when I didn’t maintain my NNA membership.
Their current membership pricing structure is:
- 1 year $69
- 2 years $119
- 3 years $165
- 4 years $199
Opting for the 4-year term, which usually cycles with the Notarial Commission cycle, would be $50/year or $4.16/month.
IF you select your membership at the same time you’re Renewing your Commission, then there is a discount for the membership:
$10 discount for 1 year
$15 discount for 2 years
$29 discount for 4 years

HOWEVER, if you have your Background Check [BGC] performed through them & passed, your professional profile will be listed on the SigningAgent .com website (regardless of having any certifications or membership status).
=> NOTE: The site identifies: “Your Signing Agent profile will appear on SigningAgent .com once your NNA Signing Agent background screening has been passed (allow 24 hours), as long as you have not opted out.”
I reached out to their hotline for specific information about discontinuation of the membership & how that would impact the listing on the SigningAgent .com site. As long as you have your BGC performed by them & you pass, your profile will be on the SigningAgent .com site. So that is the sole qualifier for being listed.
With the current downtrend, it’s even more important to closely evaluate every dollar expended for business maintenance.
