As we all know the purpose of meeting with a Notary is to validate that you are really you! This process is not forgotten with a Virtual Notarization. You will validate by at least two methods.

• You may have to answer five questions about your life. Such as “Where have you lived”, “What Color is your Car”, “Who do you know”, or “Where were you born”?
• You may have to take a “selfie” image to validate your ID through a means of Facial Recognition (or Biometric Verification).
• You will need to upload your ID, make sure to get a good photo and that it hasn’t expired!

After you have validated your ID, and everyone knows that you are really you! A link will be sent to join the Notary in the Live Audio-Visual Session. Keep your ID handy, you will need it during this stage!

The Notary will have a speech which they must state and will do all the normal things a Notary does in person. This means, we need to make sure you are familiar with what you are signing, that you are signing the document(s) freely and not being pressured to do so, as well as the Notary may need to put you under oath (or affirmation) that the contents of the document are true. 

Keep in mind that while in this session your Video and Microphone must remain on. The Notary must be able to see and hear you the entire time.

Depending on how you need the documents signed, you may be using an ink pen or and electronic signature to do this. Most of the time you will use an electronic signature.

This means that the Notary will prepare the file you uploaded so that you can complete any needed fields and affix this electronic signature during the session.

The Notary also has an electronic signature and an electronic Notary Seal which they will affix on the document(s).

When completed, the file is available for instant download. You can email, upload, or print this file to be used wherever you need it to!
