Notarization F.A.Q

Q: Can A Document Be Notarized Without Being Physically Present?

Remote or Online Notarization is a viable option in some states that's gaining significant traction even prior to COVID-19. Check for state specific guidelines with your Notary.

Q: Can You Notarize Over The Phone?

While some states are expanding their remote online notarization programs, these basically always require real time video communication rather than a traditional telephone. Check with your Notary to be sure, but expect that the answer will be no.

Q: How Much Does Notarization Cost?

Notaries can charge a nominal fee for each signature, the maximum of which depends on the state. Typical price range is anywhere from $2-$20. Check with them ahead of time for exact costs.

Q: Who Can Be A Witness?

Some documents require a third party witness to the signing, but not all. Rules again vary by state, so check with your Notary on whether a witness is needed and any specific requirements. Generally speaking it will need to be someone with no interest in (not mentioned in or otherwise impacted by) the agreement outlined in the document. Friends and neighbors are a good bet.
