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.
Starting an Online Notarization Session
- Before starting the session the notary checks that the signer has completed the identity verification process and filled in all required details
- The session begins when the notary initiates it by pressing the "Start Session" button in the Request Details window
- The platform admits the notary and the signer to a secure meeting window. In the window, they see each other, talk to each other, and see the document that would be notarized later
- The notary inspects the submitted ID and confirms the identity of the signer
- The notary introduces to the signer all steps of the notarization procedure and gets verbal consent to perform the remote online notarization session
Reviewing and Signing the Document
- The notary reviews the document together with the signer
- The notary agrees with the signer on the notarization type
- The notary places placeholders in the document. For more details, please check How to Add Placeholders
- The signer fills out all required information with the notary and places the signature
Signing & Stamping

Closing the Session
