Online notarization for signers in Oregon
A commissioned New Jersey notary can notarize for you by secure video while you're in Oregon. Below: the Oregon law on out-of-state notarizations, and who has the final word.
Will Oregon accept a New Jersey online notarization? Generally, yes. Oregon law recognizes notarial acts performed in other states (ORS 194.260). The county clerk or whoever receives your document still decides what it accepts.
What Oregon law says
Oregon gives a notarial act performed in another state the same effect as one by an Oregon notarial officer. The out-of-state officer's signature and title are prima facie evidence that they're genuine. (ORS 194.260)
On our side, 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).
Who decides in Oregon
We didn't find an official Oregon page that adds requirements for out-of-state or electronic notarizations. That isn't a promise there are none. The county clerk, agency, court or company receiving your document decides what it accepts, so ask them before you book.
Oregon's own online notaries
Oregon notaries located in Oregon can use communication technology for remotely located individuals under ORS 194.277, added in a 2020 special session. (source) That's context: it governs Oregon notaries, not ours.
