Does the signer have to be in Delaware?
No. The Delaware Notary Public FAQ states that a remotely located signer does not have to be in Delaware, although the Delaware notary must be physically within the state when performing the act.
What happens during an online notarization?
- You submit the document and appointment information securely.
- The platform verifies identity using at least two types of identity proofing.
- You meet the notary by live audio-video connection.
- You sign as directed and the notary completes the electronic certificate and seal.
- The completed electronic document is delivered according to the service instructions.
Will every recipient accept an electronically notarized document?
Not necessarily. The receiving organization controls its own document requirements. Ask whether it accepts electronic signatures, electronic notarial certificates, and a digital document. If the recipient requires an original ink signature or paper document, ask about remote ink notarization with document shipping.
What do I need?
You generally need an acceptable identification document, a device with camera and microphone, reliable internet access, and the unsigned electronic document. Additional platform requirements may apply.
