Frequently asked questions
How are online notarizations legal and valid?
Online notarization offers a convenient, safe, and secure way to perform notarial acts. Documents notarized online carry the same legal validity as those completed through traditional paper-based methods. The enforceability of online notarizations extends across all states, with their validity governed by the laws of the notary's commissioning state. As state-appointed public officials, notaries are required to conduct notarizations in accordance with their state's laws, and each state acknowledges the validity of notarizations properly executed in other states.
