We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm. ## Who signs, and which notarial act The person releasing the claim, and often a spouse or co-owner. Each joins from their own device; book for the number of signers. Usually an acknowledgment. Some releases are written as sworn statements; then the notary gives an oath on the call. ## Ask the recipient first Only the person or office receiving the release or settlement agreement can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask: - Your attorney or the insurer: does the release need to be notarized, and do you accept an electronic notarization? - Must a spouse or co-owner sign too? - Do you need the original back on paper, and where do I send it? - When will the payment be released after you receive it? **Read it with your attorney first.** A release usually ends the claim for good. Whether to sign, and whether the amount is fair, is a decision for you and your attorney. The notary confirms who signed and doesn't explain or review the agreement. ## Doing it online, step by step - **Review it with your attorney.** Before the session, not during it. - **Confirm the signing method.** Ask whether an electronic notarization is fine for the payer. - **Book for every signer.** You, and a spouse or co-owner if the release names them. - **Sign on video.** Show ID, sign; the notary completes the certificate. - **Send it back.** Return it the way the attorney or insurer asked, and keep a copy. ## Mistakes that stop the session **Signing before you understand it.** The notary can't explain it; your attorney can. **A missing co-signer.** If a spouse is named, the payer may not release funds without both signatures. **The original on paper.** Some payers want ink; then choose an in-person or remote ink-signed signing. **Medicare or lien questions.** Settlements can involve liens from medical providers or Medicare; that's for your attorney. ## 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.
