Document Verification through online notarization

Notarization is a form of legal authentication for signed documents. It confirms a document’s authenticity and ensures compliance of such signed documents with the requirements of the relevant jurisdictions.

The Notary public verifies identity of the signee and ensures that such person fully understands, confirms (and willingly accepts) the information contained within such document.

What types of documents do you notarize?

We notarize just about every document which needs to be notarized in the paper world. There are a few exceptions though, so see below:

By law, we currently cannot notarize:
– Birth, Marriage, or Death Certificates
– Divorce decrees
– Court-issued documents

Are your notaries commissioned?

Yes. We only use Notary Publics that are legally commissioned which authorizes them to perform notarial acts online.

What are the requirements to get notarized online?

Get started by making sure you have a reliable internet connection and the ability to video conference with a webcam with a microphone. Your webcam must be able to move such as on a notebook, cellphone or a camera that is hand-held. A desktop computer with a camera installed in it will not work as the Notary must record the document as you sign it.

What are the acceptable forms of ID that I can use?

Acceptable forms of ID include the following photo IDs if valid and unexpired. Your state may have other allowable IDs or may exclude use of some items on this list, so always check:

– U.S. State Issued Driver’s License
– U.S. State Issued Photo ID
– U.S. Passport Book
– U.S. Passport Card
– Certificate of US citizenship
– Certificate of Naturalization
– Foreign Passport
– Alien Registration Card with Photo
– Military ID

What if I have additional signers?

If your document must be signed by more than one person, you have two options:

1. You and your secondary signer can be co-located (in the same physical location), log into the session with the notary together, on the same device, and your documents notarized.
2. If your document requires two or more signers and they’re not co-located, all signers must complete separate transactions. Each signer would need to request a separate appointment.

What if my documents require original, physical (wet) signatures?

In some cases, your recipient may require original signatures from all signers. In order to fulfill this requirement, you will need to meet with a notary over video chat to show ID and sign your documents.

After the session, you will mail the original documents to our office at Office of Notary, 514 Americas Way Suite 1001, Box Elder SD 57719-7600. Once received, the document will be given the notarized stamp and sent to your recipient (shipping not included).

(For signers located outside of the US)

Not all notaries can notarize a document for a signer who is physically located outside of the state in which they are commissioned. However, we have notaries that can legally notarize your document even when you’re physically located outside of the US.

Please note:

** A notarization is not an apostille **
