Remote Online Notary Information
Please make sure you have the following items ready before initiating your closing appointment
- US Social Security Number
- Government-issued photo ID*
- Valid e-mail address
- A device with audio/video capabilities**
Steps for Closing:
- Start the Session. You will receive an email from an @notarize.com domain indicating that your closing package needs notarization. Click “View Documents” to begin signing.
- Create or Sign In to your Notarize Account. You will be directed to a Notarize Log in screen and prompted to create a new account or enter your password.
- Review your Documents. On the welcome screen, you will see a preview of the documents. Click “Get it Notarized". Confirm your name as it appears on your government ID, then review documents.
- Test your Tech. Notarize will ask for access to your mic and camera and give you the tools to check that they work properly. Notarize will automatically check your internet connection to ensure call integrity.
- Verify your Identity. Notarize uses (but never retains) your personal information to reference third-party public records databases in order to create five security questions tailored to you. You will have two minutes to answer four out of five questions correctly. You will then capture the front and back of a government-issued photo ID. These security measures are required by law in an effort to deter fraud.
- Connect to the Notary. When ready, click “Let’s Get Started” to move into the online waiting room. From there, your Notary will join the meeting.
- Complete the Closing. Once you connect, the notary will walk you through the process of reviewing and signing your documents online instead of in-person.
