How It Works

1. Get your documents approved

Contact us via one of the methods above and we will notify you if we are allowed to notarize this type of document. (In Louisiana we have some restrictions).

Note that it is your responsibility to make sure the entity that you are submitting your document to will accept a document that has been notarized by Remote Online Notarization.

2. Verify your identification

We use a software/platform that uses Bank-grade authentication using biometric scanning and forensic ID analysis.  You enter some of your personal information on the secured platform, upload your ID, and then take a selfie and the software does the rest.

3. Meet your Notary on Video Chat session and electronically sign your documents.

This is similar to a zoom call combined with a docusign-type process.  We are required to record the video while we are doing the Remote Online Notarization and you will electronically sign your documents.  We will walk you through it step by step.  It is easy peasy! 

4. Pay for your session & receive your Notarized Document

We will send you an electronic invoice prior to your session that can be paid via Credit card, Debit card, Paypal or Venmo and then you will receive your notarized document via email after your session.  It will be in a secured PDF document with a digital certificate.

FAQ

Can MY document be notarized by Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

  • It is your responsibility to make sure that the receiver of your document will accept a document that has been notarized via Remote Online Notarization.
  • The State of Louisiana RS 35:623 states:

 The following instruments shall not be executed by remote online notarization:

            (1) Testaments or codicils thereto (Last Will & Testament)

            (2) Trust instruments or acknowledgments thereof.

            (3) Donations inter vivos.

            (4) Matrimonial agreements or acknowledgments thereof.

Remote online notarization may not be used to execute an authentic act as defined in Civil Code Article 1833. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection B of this Section, an act that fails to be authentic as a result of being executed by remote online notarization may still be valid as an act under private signature or an acknowledged act.

  • WHAT IS AN AUTHENTIC ACT?

Art. 1833.  Authentic act

A.  An authentic act is a writing executed before a notary public or other officer authorized to perform that function, in the presence of two witnesses, and signed by each party who executed it, by each witness, and by each notary public before whom it was executed.  The typed or hand-printed name of each person shall be placed in a legible form immediately beneath the signature of each person signing the act.

B.  To be an authentic act, the writing need not be executed at one time or place, or before the same notary public or in the presence of the same witnesses, provided that each party who executes it does so before a notary public or other officer authorized to perform that function, and in the presence of two witnesses and each party, each witness, and each notary public signs it.  The failure to include the typed or hand-printed name of each person signing the act shall not affect the validity or authenticity of the act.

C.  If a party is unable or does not know how to sign his name, the notary public must cause him to affix his mark to the writing.

Can you notarize my documents if I do not speak English?

No.  I can only notarize documents for individuals who can speak and read English.  I do not speak any foreign languages and I must be able to communicate with the signer.  The signer must also be able to read what they are signing.  To satisfy this requirement, even if they can speak English, they must also be able to READ English.
