Online notary for business teams

Check a document before you notarize it

Where is the signer?

Hague Apostille Convention member

Your document check

Notarial act Acknowledgment Jurat Copy certification

Identity steps for each signer

  • ID credential analysis of a government-issued photo ID, front and back
  • Knowledge-based authentication questions
  • Liveness selfie matched to the ID photo

What to prepare

  • A valid government-issued photo ID for every signer
  • Pages marked where each signer signs
  • A witness who can join the video session
  • A quiet place with a camera, a microphone and a stable connection

Notes for where the document goes

  • County recorders set their own rules for electronic records. Check that the recorder in your county accepts electronically notarized documents before the session.
  • Courts may have their own filing rules for notarized declarations and affidavits. Check the local rules of the court.
  • Banks and lenders can ask for their own forms. Ask the recipient which notarial certificate they expect.
  • A document used abroad may need an apostille issued by the notary's commissioning state. Countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention usually ask for a longer legalization chain.
  • For internal company records, the sealed PDF and the audit trail are usually all you need to keep.

  • Identity verification

    Each signer passes ID credential analysis, knowledge-based authentication and a liveness check before the session starts.

  • Commissioned notary

    A notary commissioned for remote online notarization joins the video session, from our network or from your own team.

  • Digital seal and certificate

    The notary applies a digital notary seal and a digital certificate, and the sealed PDF becomes tamper-evident.

    Every step is logged with a timestamp, SHA-256 document fingerprints, IP and device data, exportable as PDF or JSON.

  • Recording reference

    The audio-video recording is kept for the retention period of the notary's commissioning state and linked to the record.

Why teams switch

Remote online notarization that fits how your team already works

Three things change the week your team moves notarizations online.

01

No travel, no couriers

Signers join from a secure link on a phone or laptop. No more booking mobile notaries, shipping originals and waiting for them to come back.

02

One predictable monthly cost

Your plan includes a set number of network notary sessions every month. Finance sees one subscription instead of a stack of per-session invoices.

03

Evidence ready for audits and disputes

Each notarization produces one exportable record: who signed, how identity was checked, when the seal was applied and the document fingerprint before and after.

Use cases

Online notary service for the teams that notarize every month

Every plan runs remote online notarization in the browser: virtual notary sessions your signers join from a link, and a digital notary record for every act. Need notaries supplied on demand? Start with the online notary service, or compare remote online notarization services for higher volume.

How it works

How to notarize documents online with ENotary

Six steps from upload to sealed record. Most take a single click.

See how it works

  1. Upload

    Drag in your PDFs and mark signature and notary fields, or apply a saved template.

  2. Invite

    Add signers by email or text message. Each signer gets a secure link, no app download.

  3. Verify identity

    Signers pass ID credential analysis and knowledge-based questions. A failed check stops the session before it starts.

  4. Meet the notary

    A commissioned notary joins the video session, confirms identity and willingness, and witnesses the signatures.

  5. Seal

    The notary applies a digital seal and certificate. The document is locked and tamper-evident.

  6. Keep the record

    The sealed document, audit trail, journal entry and recording reference stay in your workspace, ready to export.

For decision makers

For the COO, general counsel and agency owner

You sign the contract. Here is exactly what you are buying.

Predictable cost

One subscription with a monthly allowance of network notary sessions. More volume means a higher plan, never a surprise invoice.

Reduced risk

Every signer passes identity checks before a notary joins. Every sealed document is tamper-evident. Every record is kept for the retention period the commissioning state requires.

Control

Roles for admins, senders and viewers. Google SSO on Scale, SAML SSO and SCIM on Enterprise. Your own commissioned notaries run sessions on the same platform.

FAQ

Online notary questions from business teams

More answers in the online notary FAQ.

Most US states authorize remote online notarization by statute, and a notarial act performed by a notary commissioned in one state is generally recognized in other states. Recipients such as county recorders, courts and banks can still have their own requirements, so check with the recipient when a document is going somewhere specific.

Acknowledgments, jurats and copy certifications cover most business documents: deeds, closing packages, powers of attorney, affidavits, corporate resolutions and employment declarations. Some documents, such as wills in many states and certain vital records, follow separate rules that vary by state. The document check on this page tells you what to confirm first.

Each signer scans a government-issued photo ID, answers knowledge-based questions and takes a liveness selfie. If a signer fails a step, the session does not start. State rules limit the number of retries, and the signer can try again later within those limits.

A session is one notarization meeting with up to 4 signers and up to 10 documents. Your allowance refreshes every billing period. When you need more sessions every month, you move to a higher plan.

Yes. Business, Scale and Enterprise plans include own-notary seats. Sessions run by your own notaries use the same session room, identity checks and audit trail, and they do not use your allowance.

Many states allow a notary to notarize for a signer located outside the US, with conditions set by the notary's commissioning state. For use abroad, a document may need an apostille issued by that state.

Records and recordings are kept for the retention period required by the notary's commissioning state. Enterprise plans can set a longer custom retention.

No. Signers join from a secure link in a current browser on a phone or computer with a camera and microphone.

Enterprise plans can be paid by invoice with net 30 terms. Starter, Business and Scale are paid by card, monthly or yearly.
