TIAA and Notarize Partnership

PREPARE

What you need

In order to have the best experience possible, please come prepared to your online notary meeting. You will need:

A single PDF of all the pages of your form. You have the option to digitally complete it after upload.
All signatures that don't require notarization prior to uploading
One form of ID. Here's a list of acceptable IDs.
The last four (4) digits of your U.S. Social Security number
A strong internet connection and a valid email address
An iPhone, iPad, Android device or computer with video and audio capabilities
15 minutes to complete your online notarization
A credit card to pay the $25 notarization fee

THE PROCESS

How it Works

1. Download and save your TIAA form that required notarization. Upload your form to Notarize in a single PDF file.

Ensure that your signature is on the form, whether through DocuSign (electronic) or a physical signature. If you need to sign the form manually, you will need to scan and save the document in the PDF file format. Be sure to include all pages – not just the page that requires notarization.
2. Verify your identity.

Notarize uses patent-pending forensic analysis to verify government-issued photo IDs and passports. When prompted, you'll capture images of your photo ID using the video capabilities on your computer or phone and then answer a few questions. Notarize will confirm your identity in seconds.
3. Connect with a live notary agent.

Connect with a licensed electronic notary public over live video to sign your form. The Notarize agent will confirm your identity, witness your signature, and assist you throughout the process.
4. Receive your signed document(s). Finalize your forms and return them to TIAA.
