Remote Online Notary Services

Get a Power of Attorney Notarized Online

A power of attorney lets one person authorize another to act on their behalf. Because the document carries real authority, most receiving institutions want to see a notarized signature. If you are physically located anywhere in the United States, you may be able to complete that notarization remotely through iNotarize instead of driving to find a notary.

Can this be notarized online?

Many powers of attorney can be handled through a Remote Online Notary process, but not all can. Some receiving parties — particularly banks, title companies, and certain government agencies — have their own requirements about wet signatures, witnesses, or specific forms. We review every submitted document before scheduling.

What to prepare

The complete, unsigned power of attorney, ideally as a PDF
Correct legal names and spellings for the principal and the agent
Any form the receiving institution specifically requires you to use
Contact details for anyone else who must sign or witness
The deadline you are working against

What identification is needed

Plan on an unexpired, government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, passport, or permanent resident card. Identity verification for a Remote Online Notary session generally includes credential analysis of that ID and identity-proofing questions.

What happens during the process

You upload the power of attorney and describe your request.
We review the document and confirm whether it can move forward remotely.
You verify your identity through the required steps.
You meet the Remote Online Notary in a secure audio/video session and sign electronically.
You receive the completed electronic document through a secure process.

What to know before you submit

Do not sign the document before the session. The notary must witness the signature.
Ask the receiving institution whether it accepts electronically notarized documents and, if recording is involved, whether an electronic record is accepted.
If your form requires witnesses, tell us during intake so witnesses can be arranged correctly.
Notaries cannot draft your power of attorney, choose the form for you, or advise you about its legal effect.

How to submit your document

Start your request on the online notarization intake. You'll tell us where you are physically located, describe the document and signers, and upload your file to private storage. Submitting a document does not guarantee that the document or transaction is eligible for Remote Online Notarization. iNotarize will review your request and provide the appropriate next steps.

FAQ

Power of Attorney: common questions

Affidavits

An affidavit is a written statement you swear or affirm is true. The notary administers that oath or affirmation and completes a jurat. Because affidavits are almost always about timing — a filing deadline, an insurance claim, a school or employer request — being able to handle one online from home matters.

Estate Documents

Estate documents — self-proving affidavits, advance directives, beneficiary designations, and related paperwork — often need a notary and sometimes witnesses. Requirements vary widely, so estate documents are reviewed carefully before any session is scheduled.

Real Estate Documents

Real estate paperwork is where notarization requirements get strict. Deeds, affidavits of title, and loan documents are often reviewed by a title company, lender, and county recorder — each with its own rules about electronic notarization and recording.
