How Does Remote Online Notarization Work?
Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment
Technology Requirements
- Each signer must have their own computer, tablet, or smartphone
- For the best experience, use Google Chrome on a computer or a current mobile device with a camera, microphone, and a reliable internet connection
During the scheduling process, you will be able to upload your document and provide the information needed for your notarization.
Step 2: Verify Your Identity
Before meeting with the notary, you will complete two identity verification steps.
Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA)
You will be asked five credit history questions generated from public records. To continue, you must answer four of the five questions correctly, with a passing score of 80%
ID Verification
Next, you'll verify your identity by uploading your government-issued photo ID and taking a live selfie. Simply follow the instructions provided in your invitation email.
Step 3: Meet with Your Online Notary
Once your identity has been verified, you'll be connected with a commissioned online notary through a secure live video session.
The notary will:
- Verify your identity.
- Confirm that you understand the document and sign it willingly.
- Witness your electronic signature.
- Complete the notarization.
Your notary will guide you through the entire process, making your appointment simple and stress-free.
