Both roles require notary commission and signing agent certification, and they often overlap in duties. A Commission Notary Signing Agent primarily acts as an independent notary who specializes in loan signings, working with various clients. The main difference is that a Loan Signing Agent specifically focuses on loan document signings, often within the mortgage industry. While their responsibilities are similar, the term 'Loan Signing Agent' emphasizes the loan-specific aspect of the role.
