Eligibility check
Stephanie reviews the document type, signer location, ID availability, and whether the document issuer accepts online notarization.
Remote online notarization
Online notary support for eligible documents.
Some notarizations can be handled remotely when the document, signer location, identity verification, and platform requirements line up. Stephanie helps you sort that out before the session.
How The Online Flow Works
Remote notarization is convenient, but it still has structure. Each step protects the signer, the document, and the notarial record.
Technology check
You confirm access to a camera, microphone, stable internet, email, and any required identity verification steps.
Secure session
The signer joins the appointment, completes identity verification, signs as instructed, and receives guidance on final document handling.
Good Online Candidates
- Signers with valid, current identification and reliable internet.
- Documents that the receiving party accepts in electronic or remote-notarized form.
- Appointments where all required signers can join the session on time.
- Documents that do not require physical wet ink handling by the receiving agency.
Better As Mobile Visits
- Signers who are not comfortable with video or identity verification technology.
- Documents requiring original physical signatures, witnesses, or special delivery.
- Care facility or hospital situations where staff coordination is needed.
- Any case where the receiving party specifically rejects online notarization.
Online Notary Prep Checklist
