Online notarization allows all participants to sign digital documents remotely during the session with a notary present. The online notarization session is very similar to a regular notarization. The only difference is that both the notary and the signer meet in a secure virtual environment from their own computers.

Where to start

1. At the OneNotary website, click Notarize Now, and select One-time notarization 

2. Upload the document you need notarized. Supported formats include:

  • Text Formats: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX
  • Image Formats: PNG, SVG, BMP, JPG, TIFF 


3. To Add Participants:

  • Enter the email address of the Primary signer in the Participants section.
  • If more signers or witnesses are needed, click "+Add Signer" or "+Add Witness" and provide their email addresses.
  • After clicking 'Proceed,' you will need to confirm the email address of the Primary Signer. All participants will also receive a confirmation email from no-reply@onenotary.us titled "Your Online Notary Request is Confirmed."


4. Provide your payment details in the Payment section.

  • Important: Your card will only be charged if the notarization session is successfully completed. If the session is canceled, fails, or is not conducted, no charges will apply.


5. All participants must complete an identity verification process in the Get Ready step.

6. Once identity verification is successful, a notary will be automatically assigned. Answer the call from the notary to begin your session.
