CUSTOMER FAQS

 1.  What is online notarization?
     
     Online notarization allows a person to appear before a commissioned notary
     public in real-time using audio/video technology. To learn how it works,
     click here.

 2.  Is online notarization legal?
     
     Yes! Online notarization is just another method of performing
     notarizations. A document notarized online is as legally valid as one
     notarized via traditional paper-based notarization.

 3.  Where are online notarizations valid and enforceable?
     
     Online notarizations are valid and enforceable in every state with their
     validity determined by applying the law of the notary’s commissioning
     state. As public officials of their state, notaries must perform
     notarizations in compliance with the laws of their state, and every state
     recognizes properly performed notarizations of other states.

 4.  Should the Notarize platform be used for documents that will be used in
     another country?
     
     No. The Notarize platform is specifically designed to comply with the
     requirements for notarized documents that are being used in the United
     States. In addition, the unique authentication process needed to use these
     documents in another country is not available for electronic documents in
     most states.

 5.  Which documents can be notarized on the Notarize platform?
     
     Nearly every document that can be notarized in the paper world can be
     notarized online on the Notarize platform. However, certain documents are
     restricted. Always check with your own advisors and document recipients if
     you have any questions about whether your documents may be notarized
     online. For more information on documents with unique restrictions, see
     this article.

 6.  What do I need for online notarization?
     * The document(s) that need to be notarized.
     * A device with audio and video capabilities. See the minimum system
       requirements here.
     * A valid government–issued photo ID. Find the list of acceptable forms of
       identification here.
     * A U.S. social security number for secure identity verification.
 7.  How much does it cost to get a document notarized?
     
     A single document requiring one notary seal is $25.  Most documents require
     only one notary seal, but if the document requires more than one, each
     additional notary seal is $10 more.

 8.  If Notarize is unable to notarize a particular document, will I be charged?
     
     No, Notarize will only charge a fee for successful notarizations. If we are
     unable to process any document, the session will be terminated without any
     cost to you.

 9.  When can I get a document notarized?
     
     Documents can be notarized on the Notarize platform 24 hours a day, 7 days
     a week.

 10. What forms of identification are acceptable for online notarization?
     
     Each state provides its notaries with a list of acceptable forms of ID for
     online notarization. Commonly acceptable forms of ID include the following:
     
     * U.S. State Issued Driver’s License
     * U.S. State Issued Photo ID
     * U.S. Passport Book
     * Certificate of US citizenship
     * Certificate of Naturalization
     * Foreign Passport
 11. Can physical paper documents be notarized on the Notarize platform?
     
     No, documents must be in electronic form.

 12. Can two or more signers get their signatures notarized in a single meeting?
     
     Yes. Signers have the flexibility to complete a transaction together on a
     shared device, simultaneously on multiple devices, or in separate notary
     meetings. Each signer must complete the identification process separately
     and signers who miss the initial meeting can still get their signatures
     notarized in a subsequent notary meeting.

 13. Can witnesses be added to transactions on the Notarize platform?
     
     Yes. Witnesses who are physically with the signer can be added to the
     transaction by the notary during the notary meeting. They can not be added
     by the signer or the person creating the transaction.

 14. How does Notarize verify my identity?
     
     Notarize verifies your identity through a multi-step identity verification
     process during which you must complete a set of questions generated from
     your personal information and an automated analysis of your
     government-issued ID.

 15. How does Notarize ensure the security and privacy of personal information
     on notarized documents?
     
     Notarize employs various measures to ensure the security and privacy of
     personal information including the encryption and protection of all data in
     transit and at rest using AES-256 bit encryption and tracking of all
     application access. The Notarize platform has also been subjected to
     various comprehensive information security audits and penetration testing.
     For more information on Notarize’s privacy practices, see Notarize’s
     Privacy Policy.

 16. How does Notarize vet notaries before allowing them to perform on-demand
     notarizations on the Notarize platform?
     
     The following processes and procedures are used to ensure notaries have the
     necessary training, tools, and credentials when performing on-demand
     notarizations on the Notarize platform:
     
     Notaries complete a state-specific onboarding process to ensure they are
     properly commissioned and that they have the training and tools they need
     to perform notarizations in compliance with the unique requirements of
     their state.
     
     A dedicated team of specialists reviews their profiles for accuracy and
     confirms their commission information against state databases before
     allowing them onto the platform.
     
     Once approved, the platform intelligently monitors their profiles, blocking
     them if their information expires and requiring reapproval if they update
     their information.
     
     Notaries are also required to maintain errors and omissions insurance with
     sufficient coverage whenever they perform notarizations on the platform.
     
     Finally, notaries must complete specialized training (including Notarize
     administered courses and assessments and the National Notary Association’s
     Notary Signing Agent exam) and pass yearly background checks.
     
     Note that notaries must also upload their digital certificate to perform
     notarizations on the Notarize platform. Digital certificates are only
     issued to notaries after they successfully complete identity proofing,
     further ensuring the identity of all notaries performing notarizations on
     the Notarize platform.
