Cranford, NJ. Fee confirmed before your session. Card charged only after it is complete. We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm. ## Who signs, and which notarial act The patient signs, or a parent or legal representative signing for them, with proof of authority if the provider asks. Usually an acknowledgment. If the form says "sworn," it's a jurat with an oath. ## Ask the recipient first Only the person or office receiving the hipaa authorization can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask: - Whoever asked for it: must it be notarized, or is a signature enough? - Will you accept an electronically notarized copy, uploaded or printed? - Do you have your own authorization form, with an expiration date or event? - If you sign for someone else: what proof of authority do you want with it? **Notarization is the requester's rule, not HIPAA's.** A valid authorization needs its required elements (who may disclose, to whom, what, why, an expiration and your signature). If the provider doesn't ask for notarization, you may not need it. ## Doing it online, step by step - **Use the provider's form.** Or the requester's, filled in with what may be shared and when it expires. - **Confirm notarization is wanted.** And that an electronic notarization works for them. - **Book one signer.** Upload the unsigned form. - **Sign on video.** Show ID and sign on screen. - **Send it.** Upload or print as the provider or requester instructs. ## Mistakes that stop the session **No expiration.** The form should say when the permission ends; fill it in. **Signing for an adult without authority.** A family member needs a power of attorney or guardianship to sign for another adult. **Notarizing when nobody asked.** Check first; it may not be needed. ## What it costs $50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. If a witness is needed, a video witness can be added in the booking form at $40 each. Open 7 am to 9 pm ET, every day, by appointment. Have a current photo ID, a device with a camera, and the unsigned PDF.
