How long does it take to get a document notarized?

Are documents notarized online legal?

Yes, the legality of documents notarized online is generally well-established in the United States, but it's important to understand a few key points:

State Laws:
- The legality of remote online notarization (RON) is primarily governed by state laws. Most U.S. states have enacted legislation authorizing RON, but the specific requirements and regulations can vary.
- Therefore, a document notarized online in compliance with the laws of the notary's state is generally considered legally valid.
Federal Recognition:
- The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) provide a federal framework that recognizes the validity of electronic signatures and records, which supports the legality of RON.
  
  Interstate Recognition:
- Generally, notarizations performed in one state are recognized in other states, due to the "full faith and credit" clause of the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, a properly executed RON should be valid across state lines.
Important Considerations:
- While RON is widely accepted, it's always advisable to verify the specific requirements of the receiving party or jurisdiction, especially for documents intended for use outside the United States.

How much does it cost to get a document notarized?

A single document can be notarized for $25 if your document requires more than one notary seal each, additional notary seal will cost $10 but most documents only require one. Also, if your document requires witnesses, each supplied witnesses will cost $10 and each additional signer will cost $5.

Can I notarize a document for use outside of the United States?

Currently, we do not notarize documents for use outside of the United States for the following reasons:

State vs. International Law:
Remote online notarization (RON) is primarily governed by U.S. state laws. While a RON may be legally valid within the U.S., its acceptance in foreign countries is not guaranteed.
Each country has its own legal requirements for document authentication.
Apostilles:
Often, documents intended for use in foreign countries require an apostille, which is a form of authentication issued by a designated authority in a country that is party to the Hague Convention.
The purpose of an apostille is to certify the authenticity of the notary's signature and seal.
The ability to get an Apostille on an electronically notarized document, can vary from state to state.
Acceptance by Foreign Entities:
Even with an apostille, the final decision on whether to accept an electronically notarized document rests with the foreign government or entity requesting the document.
It's crucial to verify the specific requirements of the receiving country or organization.
