Certifying Electronic Documents

How do I get my electronic copy notarized?

The steps to ensure a successful notarization has been broken down in the bullets below:

  1. Contact the Notary: Get in touch with the notary to discuss your requirement for certifying electronic documents. You can usually communicate via email or phone to schedule an appointment or to discuss the details of the process.
  2. Prepare the Documents: Prepare the electronic documents that you need to have certified. Ensure that they are complete and accurate before presenting them to the notary.
  3. In-Person or Remote Verification: Depending on the notary’s procedures and the nature of the documents, you might need to meet with the notary in person or follow a remote verification process. We offer remote notarization services that utilize video conferencing and electronic signatures.
  4. Verification of Identity: If the process is in-person, you will need to provide valid identification to verify your identity. This is crucial to ensure the authenticity of the certification process.
  5. Notary’s Certification: The notary will review the documents, verify their authenticity, and perform the necessary notarial acts. This might involve adding an electronic notary seal or signature to the document, attesting to its authenticity.
  6. Notary’s Certificate: The notary might provide you with a notarial certificate or an acknowledgment stating that they have verified the documents and performed the notarial act. This certificate might be attached to or electronically associated with the certified documents.
  7. Payment: Be prepared to pay the notary’s fee for their services. Notary fees can vary based on the complexity of the documents and the notary’s rates.
  8. Distribute Certified Documents: Once the notarization is complete, you can distribute the certified electronic documents as needed.
