Not online
These don't work in an online session, whatever the document says:
- Wills and codicils. New Jersey's remote notarization law leaves them out. Ask the attorney who prepared the will how it is to be signed. More
- Paper car titles. A paper certificate of title is signed in ink on the original, so it can't be signed on a screen. More
- Form I-9 document checks. The employer's representative has to inspect the original documents in person. That isn't a notarization at all. More
- Certified copies of public records. Copies of birth, death and marriage records come from the office that holds the record, not from a notary. More
- Full mortgage closings. The lender and title company choose the notary and the signing method. We notarize single documents. More
Every online session, in four steps
- Ask the recipient whether they accept an electronic notarization.
- Book a time and upload the complete, unsigned PDF.
- Each signer completes the ID check and joins the video call from their own device.
- Sign on screen; download the notarized file.
What it costs
$40 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm.
Open 7 am to 9 pm ET, every day, by appointment.
Signing from outside the U.S.? New Jersey allows it only when the document is for a U.S. court, agency or other U.S. entity, involves property in the U.S., or relates to a transaction substantially connected with the U.S., and signing isn't prohibited where you are (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10). Check your document.

How do I know the recipient will accept it?
Ask them. Our acceptance checker lists the questions for each kind of recipient.

A current government photo ID, a device with a camera and microphone, and the complete, unsigned PDF.
