Onboarding
What onboarding looks like
Step 1
Account
Create your iNotarize notary account and verify your email address.
Step 2
Commission
Tell us your commission state, number, dates, and commission types.
Step 3
Credentials
Upload your commission certificate, authorisation, ID, and seal.
Step 4
Certificate
Upload and validate the digital certificate you sign with.
Step 5
Activation
Pay the $150 one-time onboarding fee plus your first $25 monthly membership payment ($175 total initially), unless your verified Founder Circle benefits provide an applicable waiver.
Step 6
Training
Every notary completes the required iNotarize training.
Step 7
Assessment
Every notary passes the iNotarize training quiz.
Step 8
Approval
An iNotarize administrator reviews the completed application.
Training, the quiz, and administrator approval apply to every iNotarize notary; the marketplace adds an application and interview for 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.
