Notarize Your Documents Online
Need a document notarized but don't want to visit a notary in person?
Online Notary lets you complete the notarization process remotely, connecting with a notary through your device from wherever you are.
Upload your document, complete the required identity verification, connect with the notary online, and receive your notarized document.
The basics
What Is Online Notary?
Online Notary, also known as remote online notarization (RON) or virtual notarization, allows eligible documents to be notarized remotely rather than requiring an in-person meeting.
Using a secure online process, you can connect with a notary through your computer or mobile device using a camera and microphone.
The exact requirements and availability of online notarization can depend on the document, the parties involved, and the applicable jurisdiction.
