How to become Snapdocs Verified

- Notary Bond (if applicable)
- Background Check report
- Errors and Omission Insurance policy

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your documents may not be verified right away. If you see a "pending" status, this means the document is in our queue, waiting to be checked by the system. Verification can take up to 3 business days to complete.
Step 2: Complete the ID verification process with an image of the front and back of your driver's license and a photo of your face. Follow the ID verification instructions here.
Step 3: Once all your documents have been successfully verified and your ID has been verified, you'll be listed as Snapdocs Verified! Companies will see that you are Snapdocs Verified and this will also boost your notary ranking, putting you higher on the search list in your area.
Am I required to become Snapdocs Verified?
You are not required to be Snapdocs Verified if you wish not to. Not being Snapdocs Verified does not exclude you from receiving notifications of certain signing opportunities. However, many companies seeking loan signing agents do look for this verification. Notaries who are Snapdocs Verified have an increased chance of being notified of signing opportunities and being selected by a company.
What constitutes a verified document?
Documents need to be clear, legible, and complete, and the information on your profile needs to match the information on the document for it to be successfully verified.
If information is missing, doesn’t match, or is illegible the document will be rejected with a provided reason. Each credential should be uploaded as one document. Here are some tips for each document.
Notary Commission
This document needs to be your actual notary Commission certificate. Learn more about why your Commission may have been rejected and how to resolve it.
Notary Bond
The notary Bond requirement is only applicable if you are commissioned in a state that requires notaries to be bonded. If you're not sure whether your state requires a notary Bond, we suggest contacting the state or county office for clarification.
Most states that require a Bond will not Commission you as a notary unless you have already obtained a Bond. If that is the case, we'll recognize that you have a verified Bond as long as there is a successfully verified Commission uploaded to your account.
In most cases, a copy of the actual Bond must be provided in order for it to be successfully verified. In some states, your Bond may be located on your notary public application, instead of on a separate document. If you're having trouble locating a copy of your Bond, we provide some help here.

- SSN trace
- County criminal search
- Federal and nationwide criminal search
- Sex offender search
- Patriot Act search (optional)
- Motor vehicle record (optional)
