Remote Online Notarization With Multiple Signers: How It Works
1 min read
Yes, more than one person can join the same remote online notarization session, as long as all required signers are properly identified and present during the session. This is common for documents that require multiple signatures, such as real estate paperwork, powers of attorney, affidavits, or other shared documents.
Each signer must complete the required identity verification and appear on the live video call when it is their turn to sign. The notary will guide the session in an organized way to ensure that each person signs correctly and that all notarial requirements are met. Whether signers are in the same location or joining from different places, the session can be structured to accommodate everyone involved.
In some cases, signers may join the session together. In others, they may appear one at a time, depending on the document and how the session is scheduled. The goal is always to keep the process orderly, clear, and compliant while minimizing delays.
What to Expect With Multiple Signers
When multiple people are involved, the notarization process remains straightforward. Once identity verification is completed, each signer is directed to the specific pages or sections that require their signature. The notary will clearly indicate when each person should sign and will confirm that all required signatures have been completed before finalizing the document.
Remote notarization is especially helpful for situations where signers are in different locations or coordinating schedules would otherwise be difficult. Instead of arranging in-person meetings or mailing documents back and forth, everyone can complete their part of the signing efficiently through a secure video session.
After all signers have completed their portions, the notarization is finalized and the completed documents are made available immediately. This approach allows multi-signer documents to be handled accurately and without unnecessary complexity.
