How to get your document notarized online

How to prepare for online notarization

1. Identify the document. Is it something you will sign, an official record or a copy? Start with the beginner guide's first decision if you are unsure.
2. Keep the written requirements. Have the receiving office's instructions ready, including any witness, certificate or final-document requirements. Mention any later apostille need before the notary session.
3. Start free signer intake. The actual signer personally completes intake and Persona with the actual ID in hand. A document file is optional at this first step; no payment or booking is required. Have a device with a camera, microphone and a reliable connection ready. The maintained beginner steps explain the document, recipient and ID checks.
4. Follow the confirmed session instructions. Provide the complete document before the notary session and follow the applicable review and booking steps. Attend the live session and keep the completed document. Check the receiving office's required delivery format; notarization and apostille handling are separate questions.

You can read this guidance without registering or buying a service. For a new notarization, start with free signer intake; the document can follow. If Notary Geek already has your document or support sent you here as a signer, use the existing signer-details form.
