Online notary · Owners who live elsewhere
Own New Jersey property but live somewhere else? Notarize online
Maybe you moved away and kept the house as a rental, inherited a parent's home, or are selling a property you haven't seen in years. The title company, the township or the buyer's side keeps asking for notarized signatures. You can give them on a video call from where you live now.

Matthew Coleman, NJ Notary Public and NNA Certified Loan Signing Agent. Cranford, NJ. Fee confirmed before your session. Card charged only after it is complete. We aim to confirm within 15 minutes, 7am to 9pm.
Documents people in your spot often sign online
- Deeds and real estate affidavits. New Jersey law lets the maker of a deed acknowledge it using communication technology; the title company or county decides how it's recorded.
- A power of attorney for the sale. So someone in New Jersey can sign at the closing, if the title company accepts it.
- Seller's affidavits and title affidavits. Affidavit of title, identity affidavits and similar sworn statements a title company asks for.
- Inherited property paperwork. Small estate affidavits, affidavits of heirship and executor forms, when the holder accepts an electronic notarization.
- Landlord paperwork. Leases, a property manager agreement or a landlord's affidavit for a tenant's assistance program.
Not everything can be done on a screen. New Jersey's remote notarization law leaves out wills and codicils, and a paper car title is signed in ink on the original. See documents that can't be notarized online.
Before you book
- Talk to the title company first. Ask whether they'll accept a remote online notarization for the deed and affidavits, and whether they'll send the documents for the session.
- Co-owners in different states. Siblings who inherited together can each join from their own device in one session.
- Your ID. A current driver's license or passport from any state works for the identity check.
- Closings are different. For a full closing, the lender and title company choose the notary and the method. We notarize single documents.
How a session works
- Book an online session and upload your document, filled in except for the signatures.
- At the appointment, join the video call from your phone, tablet or computer.
- Pass the identity check with your ID, and answer the notary's questions.
- Sign on screen; the notary completes the certificate and the session is recorded as the law requires.
- Download the notarized PDF and send it where it's going.
A commissioned New Jersey notary works from New Jersey, and New Jersey law lets the signer be anywhere in the United States (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10, P.L.2021, c.179). Signers outside the U.S. are allowed only under specific conditions; use the abroad check first.
What it costs
$50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm.
Questions
Can I sign a New Jersey deed from another state?
New Jersey law lets the maker of a deed acknowledge it using communication technology. Whether the title company and the county accept your particular deed that way is their decision; ask them first.
Can my siblings and I sign together?
Yes. Each of you joins from your own device; book for the number of signers.
Can you do my whole closing?
No. The lender and title company run the closing and choose how it's signed. We notarize individual documents.
What if I'm outside the U.S.?
New Jersey allows signers abroad only under specific conditions; use our abroad check before you book.
What does it cost?
The price is shown on this page from our current settings and again in the booking form before you confirm.
