Identity verification is an integral part of trust in the notarial act. At Notarize, we use features such as Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) and Credential Analysis to build that level of trust into our product.

But how does the process work if the signer already knows the notary and does not necessarily need the extra steps to verify their identity? What about internal transactions, where both the signer and the notary are employees at a business? 

We’ve launched a brand new feature, Personally Known to Notary, to address these unique transactions.

Lisa has a long history of building high-performing marketing teams for technology companies such as Monetate, NewsCred, and AppNexus. 

The dog days of summer are nearly over. Fall is creeping in, and unfortunately, the pandemic is still very much present in our lives. Safe to say, it’s been a crazy 18 months for everyone at Notarize, both personally and professionally.

In what has been an eventful and exciting summer for remote online notarization (RON), New Hampshire recently became the 38th state in the country to pass RON. On August 10, Governor Chris Sununu signed Senate Bill 134 into law bringing RON to the Granite State.

Notarize applauds Governor Sununu and the General Court of New Hampshire for their efforts to bring RON to the thousands of commissioned notaries throughout the state. 

It’s no simple task to get an official copy of a birth, death, or marriage certificate - it often requires taking time off work and standing in line for hours at your local courthouse or state agency – and that’s before you need to track down a notary public to help you complete the process.
