We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm. ## Who signs, and which notarial act The person who plans to marry swears to their own status. If both partners are American, each swears their own affidavit. A jurat: the notary gives you an oath and you sign. Swear only to what's true, including past marriages and how they ended, if the form asks. ## Ask the recipient first Only the person or office receiving the affidavit of single status can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask: - The registry office, church or consulate where you'll marry: what wording do you need, and in which language? - Must it have an apostille, and from which state? - How recent must it be? Many offices want it dated within a few months of the wedding. - Do you also want a divorce decree or death certificate for a past marriage? **The apostille step.** A New Jersey online notarization gets its apostille from New Jersey, so check that the foreign office accepts a New Jersey apostille if you live elsewhere. See [apostille after an online notarization](/notary/apostille-after-remote-online-notarization) and our [New Jersey apostille service](/notary/apostille-services). ## Doing it online, step by step - **Get the required wording.** From the office where you'll marry, or your wedding planner. - **Check timing.** Work back from the wedding date so the affidavit and apostille are recent enough. - **Book one signer.** Upload the unsigned affidavit. - **Swear and sign.** The notary gives the oath on video. - **Get the apostille.** Order it from New Jersey, then add any translation the office wants. ## Mistakes that stop the session **Signing too early.** An affidavit dated many months before the wedding may be refused. **Leaving out a past marriage.** Swear to the complete, true history if the form asks. **Skipping the apostille question.** Ask the office before the session so the right state issues it. ## 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.
