Online notary for Massachusetts residents
Sign by secure video with a commissioned New Jersey notary from anywhere in Massachusetts. Most documents work, but real estate has an important exception, explained below.
Does Massachusetts accept it?
Massachusetts recognizes acknowledgments taken before a notary in any US state (G.L. c.183 §30). (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)
Massachusetts enacted remote notarization in 2023 for its own notaries.
Real estate: the exception
Real estate in Massachusetts involves a closing attorney, and registry acceptance of remotely notarized documents has been uncertain. Ask the attorney and the Registry of Deeds first. Other documents are generally accepted.
Commonly notarized online from Massachusetts
