Online notary for Connecticut
Online notary for Connecticut residents
Sign by secure video with a commissioned New Jersey notary from anywhere in Connecticut. Most documents work, but real estate has an important exception, explained below.
Does Connecticut accept it?
Connecticut recognizes acknowledgments made outside the state (CGS §1-37 and §47-7), but Public Act 23-28 excludes acknowledgments by a remotely located signer in a state real estate closing. (source) New Jersey law treats an online notarization by a New Jersey notary as performed in New Jersey, wherever the signer is. (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10)
Connecticut's own remote notarization is limited and excludes several kinds of documents, including real estate closings.
Real estate: the exception
Connecticut real estate closings need an in-person notary. Talk to the closing attorney. For other documents, a New Jersey online notarization is generally accepted.
Commonly notarized online from Connecticut
Affidavits, consent letters, business documents and other non-real-estate forms. Wills and some court filings have their own rules; ask before you book.
