You have notarization questions, we have notarization answers. While we at Notarize pride ourselves on providing helpful resources (like this blog!) to demystify notarization, we’re not lawyers and don’t give legal advice. Pro tip: always check with your own attorneys, advisors, or document recipients if you have further questions about notarization or digitally notarized docs.

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. There must be a better way for Americans to get their hands on these critical documents. Eligible borrowers can electronically review, sign and notarize closing documents from their internet-connected devices—anytime, anywhere.

Why Are Vital Records So Important?

The birth certificate seems to be the holy grail of vital records, and most key document requests will ask for your birth certificate to kickstart the process and verify your identity. The process of securing a passport, Social Security card, and driver’s and marriage licenses all start with a request for your birth certificate. But not everyone has a bonafide original or official birth certificate on hand. That’s where requesting a vital record online comes in handy – and it can be a real-time-saver in our current world.

Why Am I Being Asked to Get My Documents Notarized?

Vital records, such as passports and birth certificates, are acceptable forms of identity verification in most cases. However, some situations and applications require additional documentation or a notarization to verify one’s identity and get consent from a signer.

For instance, a minor traveling internationally without their legal guardian needs a letter of consent that validates their safety. This letter must be notarized, as the child’s passport alone will not be enough to leave the country. Some states require vital records applications to be notarized - and Notarize helps make that happen.

States that require notarization include:

California        
Texas
New York City      
Minnesota
Missouri
Iowa

Recently, Tom Gardner needed an official stamped version of his birth certificate - he only had a copy. He utilized Vital Records Online and Notarize and said...

“

The service was simply fantastic. I was totally happy with it. Everything happened the way they said it would. It was totally easy. Even the notary set up. Wow!”
