We'll give you a copy of the ID for the application. **I'm overseas. Can I still use you?** Yes, by remote online notarization, when the document has a U.S. connection: it is for a U.S. court, agency or other U.S. entity, involves property in the United States, or relates to a transaction substantially connected with the United States. Signing must also not be prohibited where you are, which you check locally. A document only for a matter in your country of residence does not qualify; a U.S. embassy or consulate or a local notary is the route for that. **Can the notary make the ID copy?** Ask when you book. Many of our notaries can make the copy during the visit.
