Each waiver in the batch is part of the same session. Usually an acknowledgment or a jurat, depending on the form. Many state forms are sworn; the notary then gives an oath on the call. ## Ask the recipient first Only the person or office receiving the lien waiver can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask: - The general contractor, owner or title company: does this waiver need to be notarized, and on whose form? - Is it conditional or unconditional, partial or final? That decides when you should sign it. - Do you accept a waiver notarized electronically, or do you need the original? - Who at the company is authorized to sign? **Conditional versus unconditional.** An unconditional waiver gives up lien rights whether or not the check clears. Many contractors sign a conditional waiver until payment arrives. Which one to sign, and when, is a business and legal decision; the notary only confirms who signed. See [lien waivers and releases explained](/notary/guides/lien-waivers-and-releases-explained). ## Doing it online, step by step - **Get the right form.** The general contractor's or the state's form, with the job, amount and through-date filled in. - **Check conditional or unconditional.** Sign the kind that matches whether you've been paid. - **Book the session.** One signer for the company; bring every waiver you need notarized. - **Sign on video.** Show ID, take the oath if the form is sworn, sign; the notary completes each certificate. - **Send it to whoever holds the check.** Email or upload the notarized PDF as they asked. ## Mistakes that stop the session **Signing unconditional before payment.** If the payment then fails, the lien rights may already be gone. **Blank amounts or dates.** The notary won't fill them in. **The wrong signer.** A project manager without authority may not bind the company. **Expecting the notary to explain the form.** We notarize; an attorney can explain the waiver's effect. ## 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.
