Why notarize online instead of at the embassy in the United Kingdom?

A U.S. office that asks for a notarized document usually means a U.S. notarization. From abroad there are three ways to get one, and only one of them works around your schedule.

How it works from the United Kingdom

A commissioned U.S. notary on a video session
Every session is with a commissioned U.S. notary, recorded and kept under state law.

Upload your document

Upload the PDF, or take a photo of each page. Leave it unsigned — you sign during the session.

Verify your ID

Photograph your passport or other government photo ID. No SSN? Say so and we route you to a Florida notary, who verifies you on camera instead of with U.S. credit-record questions.

Meet the notary on video

You're connected to the next available U.S. notary. You sign on screen, they confirm it's you and apply their seal.

Send it anywhere

Download the notarized PDF or share a link with your bank, agency, attorney or family. Nothing to courier across borders.

What you
need

  • The document, unsigned
  • An unexpired passport or other government-issued photo ID — U.S. or foreign
  • A phone or computer with a camera and microphone
  • A steady internet connection wherever you are in the United Kingdom
  • Not required: a U.S. Social Security number, a U.S. address or a U.S. phone number

Need to use the document in the United Kingdom?

If the document is going to a U.S. bank, agency, court or county, the notarization is all you need. If it's going to an office in the United Kingdom, it needs one more step:

An apostille. United Kingdom is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so the Secretary of State of the notary's commissioning state attaches an apostille certifying the notary, and offices in the United Kingdom accept that in place of embassy legalization. Most states apostille remotely notarized documents the same way as paper ones; some ask for a printed copy first.

Questions from the United Kingdom

Can I notarize a U.S. document online while I'm in the United Kingdom?

Usually, yes. A U.S. online notarization is performed by a notary physically in their commissioning state, and most state RON laws let the signer be anywhere. States that follow the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts add conditions for signers outside the United States: the document generally has to relate to a matter before a U.S. court or agency, to U.S. property, or to a transaction substantially connected with the United States, and the act must not be prohibited where you are. If you are unsure whether your document qualifies, ask the party that will receive it or an attorney.

Do I need a U.S. Social Security number?

No. Most U.S. online notaries require identity questions built from U.S. credit records, which nobody without an SSN can pass. If you tell us you don't have one, we skip those questions and match you with a Florida notary, who confirms your identity from your verified photo ID on camera. Same price, no extra step.

What ID can I use?

An unexpired passport or other government-issued photo ID. You photograph it in the browser, it is checked for security features, and the notary compares it with your face on the video call. A U.S. passport works, and so do most foreign passports.

Will a U.S. online notarization be accepted in the United Kingdom?

United Kingdom is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so a U.S. notarized document is normally made usable there with an apostille from the Secretary of State of the notary's commissioning state. Most states apostille remotely notarized documents the same way as paper ones. Acceptance is always up to the office receiving it, so confirm with them first — some still ask for a paper original.

How much does it cost?

$25 per session, which includes one notarial seal. Each additional seal is $5 and each additional signer is $10. U.S. embassies and consulates charge $50 per seal, plus the trip.

Can a local notary in the United Kingdom notarize my U.S. document instead?

They can notarize it under United Kingdom's law, but that is a foreign notarization, not a U.S. one. A U.S. office may ask for an apostille from United Kingdom first, and may reject certificate wording that doesn't match U.S. forms. A U.S. online notarization avoids both.

Do I have to be a U.S. citizen?

No. Anyone with an unexpired passport or government-issued photo ID can notarize a document that relates to a U.S. matter, and a U.S. Social Security number isn't required.

I'm in the U.S. military stationed in the United Kingdom. Can I use this?

Yes. Service members and their dependents can also get documents notarized free at a military legal assistance office; online notarization is there when that office is closed, booked up or far away.

Can I notarize at night or on a weekend in the United Kingdom?

Yes. Notaries are online 24/7, so the time difference doesn't matter. There's no appointment: you start a session when you're ready and are connected to the next available notary.

How do I get the notarized document?

As a tamper-evident signed PDF, as soon as the session ends. You can download it, email it, or share a link with whoever needs it — no international courier.
