Your notary must see you as well as hear you. This means that you will need an internet connection that can handle video. Data connections may not be suitable for this. It’s best to use WiFi or a cabled connection.
You’ll also need a computer with a webcam and a microphone (some webcams have in-build microphones) or a tablet with a front-facing camera. In principle, you can use a cellphone but you may find this too small to be comfortable. If you use a tablet (or cellphone) you may find it best to use a stand.
Your notary will validate your identity online. You’ll be given advice on what documents are needed for this.
Majority of institutions, organizations, government offices and companies accept virtual or online notaries, in the event that some don’t, that is why we offer to mail out an original hard copy. Reg mail is included in your fee and if you need it on a rush basis, you pay the difference in fee.
