Nationwide signer access

Remote Online Notarization

Remote online notarization lets an eligible signer meet with the Arizona commissioned notary through an approved online platform. The signer completes identity verification and joins a live audio-video session without traveling to the notary.

The person comes first

Sometimes the easiest place to meet is right where you are.

For eligible documents and signers, Remote Online Notarization makes it possible to meet with us securely online. We'll help you understand what to expect before the session so you're ready when it's time to connect.

Questions about this service

Clear answers before you request.

Document-specific legal or acceptance questions should always go to the preparing or receiving professional.

Can I use remote online notarization from outside Arizona?

A remotely located signer may be outside Arizona while the commissioned notary is physically located in Arizona, subject to document eligibility and applicable law.

Will every organization accept an online notarization?

Not necessarily. Confirm acceptance with the intended recipient before the session.

In-person digital signing

Electronic Notarization

Electronic documents can also be notarized during an in-person appointment.

Electronic notarization uses electronic documents, signatures and a secure electronic notarial seal while the signer and notary are physically together. It is different from Remote Online Notarization, where the appointment takes place through live audio-video technology.

If your document requires electronic notarization, let us know when requesting your appointment so we can confirm the document and technology requirements.
