Online notarization lets a notary do a notarial act by live video. The notary checks the signer's identity. The notary then fills out the required certificate under state law.
General information
- A notary checks identity and does the required act. A notary does not prove that every statement in the document is true.
- State rules differ. They may control the video system, ID check, records, and forms that may be notarized online.
Service steps to consider
- Asking if the person or office getting the form will accept online notarization.
- Possible resource or approach: the right notary certificate.
- Risk: signing early when the notary must watch the signing.
How 360 Legal Forms can help
360 Legal Forms lists Online Notary as an add-on. Its plans page now shows a price for each document. Check the live price, state access, and form rules before paying. Customer support can explain website features and form fields, but it cannot select a form or legal terms, interpret a completed document, or explain how the law applies to a user's facts.
Important limits
- The service listing does not mean every document or state can use remote notarization. This article gives general information only. A licensed attorney can answer questions about a specific person's rights, risks, document choice, wording, or legal result.
