Our mission

Making professional notarization accessible from anywhere

Needing a notary shouldn't mean rearranging your day. Our mission is to use technology to make online notarization services practical, secure, and understandable — for the people who need documents notarized and for the notaries who serve them.

The basics

What is remote online notarization?

Remote online notarization (RON) lets a signer appear before a commissioned electronic notary over a secure audio/video connection instead of in person. The signer's identity is verified, the document is signed electronically, and the notary completes the notarial act with an electronic signature and seal.

Electronic notarization is a broader term for notarizing electronic documents; RON specifically means the signer and notary are in different locations. Rules vary by state, and not every document or transaction can be notarized remotely.

Identity verification

Signers verify their identity using the methods required for the session.

Live audio/video

Signer and notary meet face to face online.

Electronic signing

Documents are signed electronically during the session.

Notarial act

The notary — not the platform — selects and completes the notarial act.

For individuals

Online notarization for individuals

Upload your document, tell us about your request, and we'll review whether it can be handled remotely. See how online notarization works, browse our online notarization services, or check pricing.

Documents that may be eligible

Powers of attorney
Affidavits and sworn statements
Real estate and deed documents
Estate and trust documents
Business documents and agreements
Parental and travel consent forms
Vehicle and financial documents
General acknowledgments and jurats

Eligibility depends on the document, the receiving party, and applicable law. Submitting a document does not guarantee it can be notarized remotely or that it will be accepted.

For notaries

A platform built for remote online notaries

iNotarize is being built as a RON platform for notaries: a place to manage transactions, meet signers online, and keep accurate records. Learn more about becoming an online notary on iNotarize.

Tools designed for online notaries

Transaction dashboard

Track requests, documents, signers, and status in one place.

Document preparation

Place signature, initial, seal, and certificate fields on PDFs.

Electronic journal

Journal entries are drafted from each session and locked when finalized.

Some capabilities — including identity verification providers and session recording — are still being connected and are not yet active for live notarizations.

Growth

Supporting notary business growth

Our goal is to help commissioned notaries reach signers beyond their local area, spend less time on paperwork, and run a professional remote practice. Founding member programs will be shared directly with invited notaries.

Broader reach

Serve signers wherever remote notarization is permitted.

Flexible scheduling

Work sessions around your own availability.

Professional workflow

Consistent steps from intake through completion.

Trust

Security, identity verification, and document integrity

Identity verification matters because a notarization is only as trustworthy as the confirmation of who signed. iNotarize is designed with these protections:

Private storage

Documents are kept in private storage and shared only through short-lived links.

Role-based access

Customers, signers, notaries, and admins each see only what they're authorized to see.

Audit trail

Key actions are recorded in an append-only audit log.

Why choose iNotarize?

Clear, honest answers — including when something can't be done remotely.
Secure intake that keeps documents out of email.
Commissioned electronic notaries who select and perform each notarial act.
No legal advice and no inflated claims — notaries are not attorneys.
