Loan signing appointment checklist: what to have ready

Loan Signing Appointment Checklist: What to Have Ready

If you’re preparing for a loan signing appointment (purchase, sale, refinance, HELOC, etc.), a few basics handled before the notary/signing agent arrives can prevent delays.

Quick checklist

1) Current photo ID
Have a current government-issued photo ID ready. If your name differs from the documents (for example, a recent name change), mention it early so the appointment can be routed correctly.

2) Don’t sign too early
If a signature must be witnessed or notarized, it typically needs to be signed in front of the notary.

3) Full package ready
Have access to the full document package, not only signature pages. Many closings rely on complete exhibits and correct page order.

4) Know who answers which questions
A signing agent can help keep the appointment organized, but can’t give legal advice. For questions about figures, terms, or funding, contact your title/escrow or lender team.

5) Appointment logistics confirmed
Confirm location and timing, and make sure you can receive day-of texts/calls.
