Can I get this notarized online?
Six quick questions. We tell you whether online notarization looks possible, which kind fits, and what to have ready.
How it works
Two kinds of remote notarization
Remote online notarization (RON) is fully electronic. You sign a digital document on screen on a video call, and the notary applies an electronic seal. It is usually the fastest.
Remote ink-signed notarization (RIN) keeps paper. You sign a paper document in ink while the notary watches on video, and the paper then goes to the notary for the stamp. It adds shipping time, so book at least a day ahead. It suits offices that insist on paper and a physical stamp.
Which one you can use is decided by the office that will receive the document, so ask them first. For signers outside the United States, New Jersey's rules allow remote notarization when the document relates to a U.S. matter or U.S. property and the act is not prohibited where the signer is. We confirm all of this before booking.
FAQ
About this check
Is this a legal ruling?
No. It is a quick guide based on your answers. The final answer depends on your exact document, where you are and who receives it, and we confirm before we book you.
Are some documents not allowed online?
Yes. Some documents and some offices have special rules, and not every receiving office accepts a remote notarization. Ask the receiving office first.
What do I need for a session?
A current, government-issued photo ID, a device with a camera and microphone, a stable connection and the document. For RIN, the paper original and a way to send it.
Does this book my session?
No. You request a time on the booking form, and nothing is confirmed until you receive a confirmation email from us.
