Frequently asked questions
Common questions about remote online notarization, after-hours scheduling, and ID requirements.
It is a notarization done over secure live video instead of you having to drive somewhere and sit in an office. You show your ID, join the session, sign the document online, and I complete the notarization digitally.
Yes. Remote online notarization is legal in Texas. If you want the full official explanation, the Texas Secretary of State lays it out here: Getting Started as an Online Notary and here: Remote Online Notary FAQs.
Yes, and you should absolutely check before hiring anyone online. My Texas notary commission number is 135549777 and it expires 03/17/2030. You can verify that directly with the Texas Secretary of State here: Texas SOS Notary Search. Best rule: talk to me directly first, verify who you are working with, and do not send money or sensitive documents until you feel fully comfortable.
Nope. You can be in Paris, France or Hong Kong. For Texas remote online notarization, the notary has to be physically in Texas, but the signing party may be located anywhere. The Texas Secretary of State says that here: Online Notary Public Educational Information.
No. I am not an attorney and cannot advise you on what type of notarization you need or what your document should say.
