Kimberly Sennett is a nationally respected leader, educator, and advocate in the notary profession, recognized for her unwavering commitment to law-based education, ethical practice, and professional accountability. She holds the Master Notary credential from the American Guild of Notaries Public (AGNP)—a distinguished recognition reserved for individuals who exemplify exceptional expertise, integrity, and sustained leadership within the notarial profession. 

The cornerstone of Kimberly’s mentorship philosophy is mastery of state laws, statutes, and notarial foundations. She firmly believes that passing an exam is not the standard; understanding and correctly applying the law is. Her approach emphasizes state-specific education, statutory accuracy, and disciplined professional judgment as the foundation of public trust.

As the founder of Notary Academy, and owner of Seal The Deal National Signing Service,  Kimberly created one of the nation’s most comprehensive notary education platforms to meet the growing demand for state-specific, statute-driven training. She is the creator of the National Signing Agent Course and Certification, setting a national benchmark for professionalism, accountability, and real-world readiness in the loan signing industry.

Kimberly is also a pioneer in educating notaries to diversify their skill sets, notably through Permit Running and ancillary services, empowering notaries to expand beyond traditional pathways while remaining compliant and ethically grounded. Her forward-thinking approach has helped thousands of notaries build sustainable, diversified businesses rooted in lawful practice rather than dependency on any single income stream.

Her leadership extends into advocacy and industry reform. Through Notary Advocates of California, Kimberly works to protect notaries, promote statutory compliance, and elevate the profession’s standing among allied industries. She further advanced this mission by creating the National Signing Service Alliance, an initiative dedicated to raising operational standards, improving transparency, and strengthening professional relationships between signing services and notaries nationwide.

Through her work, Kimberly Sennett continues to lead with a clear and uncompromising message: law is the foundation, ethics are the standard, and professionalism is non-negotiable.

 “Notarial integrity is essential to public trust. This recognition reflects a career-long commitment to professionalism and ethical service.” - Kimberly Sennett
