For Notaries

Become an iNotarize Notary

Your Commission. Your Clients. One Online Notary Platform.

Join iNotarize to perform secure remote online notarizations for your own clients, or apply to become part of the iNotarize Notary Network and receive eligible client assignments.

Two ways to join

Choose the membership that matches how you work

Both memberships require a current notary commission and the authority your commissioning state requires for the notarial acts you intend to perform.

Onboarding

What onboarding looks like

Every step saves as you go, so you can finish your application in more than one sitting.
  1. Step 1

    Account

    Create your iNotarize notary account and verify your email address.

  2. Step 2

    Commission

    Tell us your commission state, number, dates, and commission types.

  3. Step 3

    Credentials

    Upload your commission certificate, authorisation, ID, and seal.

  4. Step 4

    Certificate

    Upload and validate the digital certificate you sign with.

  5. Step 5

    Membership

    Choose the $25 own-clients plan or the $20 Network application.

  6. Step 6

    Training

    Network applicants complete the required iNotarize training.

  7. Step 7

    Assessment

    Network applicants take the iNotarize certification assessment.

  8. Step 8

    Approval

    An iNotarize administrator reviews the completed application.

Training, the assessment, and administrator approval apply to iNotarize Notary Network applicants. Notaries who bring their own clients complete the first five steps unless a compliance issue requires more.

Credentials stay private

Commission documents, identification, and digital certificates are stored in private storage and retrieved only through short-lived secure links for you and authorised iNotarize administrators.

Certificate checks happen on our servers

Your digital certificate is read and checked on the iNotarize servers, not in your browser. Certificate passwords are used to open the file and are never stored.

Compliance reminders built in

iNotarize tracks your commission and certificate expiration dates and alerts you before they lapse.

Registering for the iNotarize platform does not itself authorize you to perform remote online notarizations. You must independently satisfy every applicable requirement of your commissioning state before conducting remote online notarizations.
