A Notary Public is a person who is authorized by the government to verify the authenticity of signatures on legal documents, administer oaths, and perform other official acts. Notaries are typically appointed by the state governments and are responsible for ensuring that legal documents are properly executed and authenticated.
An online notary public is a commissioned notary public who has the authority to perform a remote online notarization using an audio-visual conference rather than having the individual physically appear before the notary at the time of the notarization.
There are several types of notary services available, including document notarization, real estate notarization, mobile notary services, online notary services, and power of attorney notarization. Each type of notary service is designed to meet specific legal requirements and can be tailored to the needs of the client.
The notarization process typically involves verifying the identity of the signer, ensuring that the document is properly executed and signed, and affixing my official seal to the document. I may also be required to administer an oath or affirmation to the signer, depending on the type of document.
Remote online notarization (RON) is a process where a notary public performs notarization services through a secure video conference call. The signer and notary interact in real-time using audio-visual technology, allowing documents to be notarized without physical presence. The process includes identity verification, document review, and digital signature application.
Yes, Online Notarizations are legal and were legalized in Texas as of July 2018 under Texas H.B. 1217. Below are the Texas Statutes regarding Notaries and Online Notaries.
While mobile notaries require travel to perform in-person notarizations, remote notaries connect with customers online using a secure two-way audio/video call. With remote online notaries, there is no need to have to travel to meet a notary or have a notary come to your home; you can get your document notarized online in the convenience of your home or remote location via your computer, tablet, or phone.
All you'll need is a device, like a tablet, phone, or computer, with internet access, a microphone, and a camera.
Online notarizations have strict requirements that must be met in order to be compliant with state law, therefore notaries must utilize tools that securely verify and protect the signers identity. The signers are required to verify the identification through digital technology, answer knowledge-based assessment questions, and verify their identity again with the notary, as required by law. Each notarization is recorded and the notary is required to maintain commissions with the state and any additional requirement that allows for online notarizations, such as a digital certificate.
From start to finish, the average time takes less than 20 minutes; and your document is available for download immediately after the session is completed.
Below are some examples of documents that can be notarized online:
Birth and Death Certificates: These are recordable documents, and a certified copy can only be issued by the governmental agency. However, a notary public has the authority to certify copies of original documents that are not recordable in the public records.
Wills: These documents require wet signatures, unfortunately we can not remotely notarize a document that does not allow for electronic signatures. If you are in the Boerne area, reach out and we can schedule a mobile notarization.
Photographs: Notarizing photographs is not an authorized notarial act. However, we can notarize a statement about a photograph with the photograph as an attachment.
Names or IDs that don't match the signer's information: The name on the document does not match the name on the ID.
Faxed or copied signatures: A photocopied signature may never be notarized.
Backdate or forward date a notarization: We cannot backdate or forward date a notarization. The document can bear the date it is created or becomes effective, but document is notarized with the date the notarization occurs.
