CRESPA stands for Consumer Real Estate Settlement Protection Act
Who is required to be registered under CRESPA?
Any person, other than the lender, seller, purchaser or borrower, who conducts the
settlement conference and receives or handles money, must be registered.
See Virginia Code 6.1-2.20 and Chapter 395, Rules Governing Settlement Agents,
Regulation 14VAC5-395-10 through 14VAC5-395-90.
Does that mean Notary Signing Agents?
Yes. Licensing requirements apply to Notary Signing Agents who conduct signings
where funds are handled by the agent.
According to the Virginia Bureau of Insurance "handling funds" includes the passing of
a check for settlement costs from a borrower to a Notary Signing Agent, who couriers
the check and all signed documents to the title or escrow company conducting the
settlement.
