Notarize an Affidavit Online
An affidavit is a sworn statement, which means you take an oath in front of the notary and sign while they watch. Upload the affidavit you already have, verify your ID, and do exactly that on video — about ten minutes, any hour, $25. One thing first: don't sign it in advance.

Already have your affidavit?
Upload it exactly as it is — a court's form, an attorney's draft, an insurer's template, or something you wrote yourself. Leave the signature line blank; for an affidavit the notary has to watch you sign.
How it works
Upload your affidavit — unsigned
Any PDF, photo or document file. If you have already signed it, print a clean copy: a sworn statement generally has to be signed in the notary's presence.
Verify your identity
Photograph your government-issued photo ID. Automated verification takes seconds.
Take the oath and sign on video
The notary administers the oath, you affirm the contents are true, and you sign while they watch. They complete the jurat certificate and apply their seal, and you download the result immediately.
What you
need
- Your affidavit, completed but UNSIGNED
- Government-issued photo ID
- A device with a working camera and microphone
- About ten minutes
- A witness only if your document or court specifically asks for one

Don't sign it before the session — here's why
An affidavit takes a jurat, not an acknowledgment, and the difference is the reason affidavits get rejected. In a jurat you swear or affirm that the contents are true and you sign in the notary's presence — the notary is certifying that the oath was administered and that they watched you sign. An acknowledgment is a different act: it confirms your identity and that the signature was made willingly, and it can be applied to a document you signed last week. If you have already signed an affidavit, print a fresh copy and bring that. The notary will tell you during the session which certificate your document actually needs.
Missing notary wording is not a problem
Plenty of affidavits arrive with nothing at the bottom but a signature line. The notary adds the correct notarial certificate for the state they are commissioned in, so a document without a pre-printed jurat block is perfectly workable.
Affidavits we see most often
General-purpose sworn statements, proof of residency for school enrolment or a DMV, identity affidavits reconciling a name across documents, financial affidavits in family-law matters, name-change affidavits, lost-title affidavits for a vehicle, and translator's certifications for immigration filings. Each of those has a free template below if you still need to write yours.
One affidavit or several?
If you have more than one sworn statement to deal with, they can be handled in the same session. The first notarial act is included in the $25; each additional seal in the same session is $5, which is usually cheaper and always faster than booking twice.
