What to Expect During Remote Online Notarization

What to expect during Remote Online Notarization is a common question, especially for first-time clients. The process is designed to be clear, efficient, and focused. Knowing what to expect before your session begins can help you feel prepared and confident. The process follows a structured format to ensure your documents are handled correctly and in accordance with notarial requirements.

Before the session, you’ll upload the documents that need to be notarized and complete a secure identity verification. This step confirms your identity and allows the session to move forward smoothly. Once verification is complete, you’ll join a live video call with your notary at your scheduled time. During the session, the notary will briefly confirm your identity, review the document, and guide you to the specific pages or sections that require your signature. You’ll sign electronically while the notary witnesses the signing in real time. There is no need to print, scan, or mail paperwork.

After all required signatures are completed, the notary applies the notarial certificate and seal. The document is then finalized and made available to you immediately. Most sessions are completed quickly, with no unnecessary steps or delays. The goal is to complete the notarization accurately, efficiently, and without confusion.

A Calm, Private Experience From Wherever You Are

For many clients, remote notarization feels far less intimidating than an in-person signing. Instead of traveling to an office or sitting at a crowded table, you can complete your notarization from the comfort of your home, office, or wherever you happen to be. The session is private, one-on-one, and focused entirely on your documents.

Once the identity check is complete, the rest of the session is straightforward. You’ll be guided directly to the pages that need attention, sign where required, and review the document one final time with the notary. There is no pressure, no rush, and no unnecessary conversation — just a clear, professional process designed to respect your time.

After the signing is complete, you’ll be able to download your finalized, notarized documents right away. Payment, when applicable, is handled as the final step of the process after everything has been reviewed and completed. There’s nothing additional you need to do once the session ends.
