How to get a separation agreement notarized online

Who signs, and which notarial act

Each spouse signs. They can sign in the same session from separate devices, or in separate sessions, as their attorneys prefer.

Usually an acknowledgment by each spouse.

Ask the recipient first

Only the person or office receiving the separation agreement can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask:

• Your attorney: does the agreement need notarized signatures, and will the court or the other side accept an electronic notarization?
• Should both spouses sign in one session, or separately?
• Are there real estate pages (like a deed) that need separate signing or recording?

We notarize; we don't advise. The notary can't explain or change the agreement. Have it final and reviewed by your attorney before the session. Real estate transfers in the agreement may need their own deed: see real estate documents online.

Doing it online, step by step

1. Finalize with your attorney. No blanks, and both sides agree on the final version.
2. Decide on sessions. Together, or separately.
3. Book the signers. Upload the final, unsigned PDF.
4. Sign on video. Each spouse shows ID and signs.
5. Return it to your attorney. For filing or the next step.

Mistakes that stop the session

Unresolved terms. The notary can't help negotiate. Finish the terms first.

One spouse signing for the other. Each signs for themselves.

A deed bundled in. A deed may need recording rules of its own.

What it costs

$50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. For the usual 2 signers on a separation agreement, that is $60 for the session. 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.

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.
