Online notarization with US Legal Forms — 24/7/365

For starters, you will need internet access and a video camera with a working microphone. First, your identity will be verified via the so-called knowledge-based authentication (which is a series of unique questions that only you can answer).
The second step in the verification process is validation with a government-issued photo ID (to speed up the process, have your ID handy in advance).
Once verified, you will be connected with an online notary via video call. Next, check the submitted information and e-sign your document. When finished, the e-notary will add a digital notarization seal to your file.
Finally, you will be instructed on how to access your notarized documents and how to share them with your counteragents.
The entire process usually takes just a few minutes!

The fee for one notarization session is $25. It covers one notarized document plus one notary act. Note that you will not be charged until the notary has finished the notarization process. If for any reason, the e-notary is unable to notarize your document, you will not be charged for the online session.

The e-notary service is available 24/7, 365 days a year, for any time zone across the US.

Most standard documents are easily notarized. This includes various forms, certificates, university diplomas, etc. Documents that cannot be notarized online usually concern family matters (wills, codicils, trusts, birth, marriage, and death certificates).

In some situations, an online notary is actually much safer than offline notarization. Your e-notary session is organized in a secure virtual environment. Once this session is over, your notarized documents are securely saved in a password-protected cloud storage service. Only you and/or someone you choose to authorize will have access to this storage.
