What can be notarized online?

Most documents that require a notarized signature can be completed through remote online notarization.

Notaron can notarize personal, legal, financial, business, real estate, and government-related documents online. Instead of visiting a notary in person, you upload your document, verify your identity, and meet with a commissioned notary over secure live video.

Common documents include

  • Affidavits and sworn statements
  • Powers of attorney
  • Real estate and property documents
  • Trust and estate documents
  • Financial and retirement forms
  • Business agreements and corporate documents
  • Parental consent and travel forms
  • Vehicle and title documents
  • Insurance and beneficiary forms
  • Documents being prepared for apostille or international use

You don't need to find your exact document on this page to use Notaron. If your document requires a notarized signature and is eligible for remote notarization, you can simply upload it and get started.

Requirements can vary depending on the document, the signer's location, and applicable state law.

Already have your document?

These are the ones people bring us most. Each page covers what that document needs and starts the session with it already selected.

How it works

Four steps, all of them in one sitting. Nothing gets printed, mailed or scheduled.

Upload your document

A PDF from your device, or a photo of a paper document taken with your phone camera. Leave the signature lines blank — you sign during the session, in front of the notary, which is what makes the notarization valid.

Verify your identity

Photograph your government-issued ID and answer a short set of knowledge-based questions. This is the step your state's remote-notary rules are strictest about, and it is handled automatically — there is no manual review queue to wait in.

Meet the notary on video

You are connected to a commissioned notary on a recorded video call. They confirm your identity, watch you sign, and apply their electronic seal and signature while you are on the call.

Download the notarized file

The finished PDF carries the notary's seal, signature and a tamper-evident certificate. Download it immediately; it also stays in your account, along with the audit trail of the session.

What you
need

Four things, and you almost certainly have three of them already.

Notaron does not provide legal advice. Requirements vary by state and by the party receiving your document.

An unsigned document
PDF, or a phone photo of a paper original. If the signature lines are already filled in, the notary cannot witness the signing.
Government-issued photo ID
An unexpired driver's licence, state ID or passport. The name on it has to match the name signing the document.
A device with a camera and microphone
A phone, tablet or laptop. Both sides of the call are recorded and retained, as remote-notary rules require.
About ten minutes
No appointment and no account are needed to begin, and nothing is charged until the session is finished.

Rules by document type

Witness requirements, state validity and what the receiving party usually asks for — written per document, because almost none of it is the same twice.

How to Notarize a Deed Online (Warranty, Quitclaim & More)

Yes — deeds can be notarized online. Every deed must be acknowledged before a notary to be recorded, and remote online notarization satisfies that requirement in every state that has adopted RON. After the online notarization, most counties accept the deed for electronic recording.

Notarizing a Will Online: What's Actually Required

In most states a will does not need to be notarized to be valid — it needs the testator's signature and (typically) two witnesses. What IS commonly notarized is the self-proving affidavit attached to the will, which lets the will be admitted to probate without tracking down the witnesses later. That affidavit can be notarized online.

Notarizing Mortgage & Closing Documents Online

Yes — mortgages, deeds of trust, refinance packages, and seller documents can be notarized by remote online notarization. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac both accept RON-notarized closing documents, and in counties that accept e-recording, the entire closing can stay digital from signing to recording.

Notarizing Trust Documents Online

Yes — living trusts, trust amendments and restatements, and certifications of trust can all be notarized online. Notarization isn't always what makes a trust valid, but banks, title companies, and county recorders routinely require notarized trust documents before acting on them.

Notarizing 401(k), IRA & Pension Forms Online

Yes — spousal consents, distribution and rollover requests, and beneficiary designations for retirement plans can be notarized online. IRS guidance permits spousal consent to be witnessed remotely by a notary using live audio-video technology under state RON law, and plan administrators accept it.

Notarizing Documents for Apostille & International Use

Yes — documents headed abroad (powers of attorney, business records, personal affidavits, adoption and immigration paperwork) can be notarized online, and most states will issue an apostille on a remotely notarized document. The key is matching the process to your destination country's requirements.

Notarizing Insurance & Beneficiary Change Forms Online

Yes — beneficiary change forms, policy assignments, community-property spousal consents, and claim affidavits can all be notarized online, and insurers accept remote notarizations performed under state RON law.

Notarizing a Prenuptial Agreement Online

Yes — prenuptial (and postnuptial) agreements can be notarized online, with both parties joining the same video session from anywhere. Most states require only that a prenup be in writing and signed by both parties, but notarizing the signatures is standard practice because it strengthens enforceability.

Questions

Is notarizing a document online actually valid?

Remote online notarization is authorized by statute in most states, and a document notarized this way is notarized — the notary is commissioned, the act is recorded, and the file carries a tamper-evident certificate. Two things still vary: whether your state permits RON for your particular document type, and whether the party receiving it accepts an electronic notarization. Check the rules for your state, and confirm the format with whoever is going to receive the document.

What do I need to have ready?

Your unsigned document, an unexpired government-issued photo ID, and a device with a camera and microphone. That is the whole list. No appointment, no account before you start, and nothing charged until the session is finished.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes end to end for a straightforward single-signer document — upload, identity check, video call, download. Notaries are available around the clock, so the wait to be connected is usually the shortest part of it.

What does it cost?

$25 per session, which covers one signer and one notarization. Additional notarial seals on the same document set are $5 each, additional signers are $10 each, and an on-demand witness is $10. Creating an account is free, there is no subscription, and nothing is charged until your session is complete.

Can any document be notarized online?

No — and this is worth checking before you upload. Some states exclude particular document types from remote notarization: Georgia, for example, does not recognize out-of-state RON for real-estate deeds or vehicle-transfer documents. Wills are the other common exception, because several states treat them separately from ordinary notarial acts. Each document guide below states what applies to that document type.

Do I sign the document before the session?

No. The notary has to witness the signature, so the document must be unsigned when you upload it. You sign electronically during the video call, and the notary applies their seal in the same session.

What if my document needs witnesses?

Witnesses join the same video session from wherever they are — nobody needs to be in the room with you. Bringing your own costs nothing extra; if you do not have one, an on-demand witness is $10.

Can I record the notarized document with my county?

Most U.S. counties accept electronic recording, so a deed or other recordable instrument notarized online can usually be submitted the same day without printing or couriering it. Coverage is not universal — check your county before you rely on it.
