Quick question - single document signing

Quick question, I have a signing in which the signing service called the signing type a “Single Document Signing”. Just looking for clarity in what that means.

A ‘single document’ could be anything from 1 page to an 18 page mortgage. (X 2 for Signer’s copy) and they probably want it scanned back.

Thank you. My previous assignments, they would leave me instructions like print 3 copies, send 2 back and 1 for the signer. This SS didn’t instruct me on how many copies to print. Should I assume and print 3 copies (2 for the SS and 1 for the signer)?

The ‘print 3, send 2’ were most likely Loan Mods, not ‘single doc’ signings. Best advice I can give is: Assume nothing. ASK HIRING PARTY. FWIW: Most signings call for 2 copies.

Agree w/Arichter – most signings notary prints 2 copies (1 copy to sign and send back to Title and 1 copy for signers).

Insofar as “single document” – also agree. Could be a 1-pager (Grant Deed/etc.) or could be an 18-pager (Deed of Trust/Mortgage/etc.). If you accept and are not satisfied with pay 'cause it turns out to be a large single document, contact hiring party and negotiate appropriate fee. Otherwise, turn it back and tell them why.
