Obtain Authorization to Perform Online Notarizations

To obtain authorization to perform online notarizations, follow these instructions and submit your Online Notary Public Commission Application with your notarial seal, digital certificate, and a $75 fee to the Secretary of State.

The questions in your application can be answered as follows -

1. The name of your vendor and a description of the technologies it uses to provide the services listed in section 4;
2. An explanation of the method or technology you will use to maintain an electronic notary journal as required by the Rules;
3. A copy of your unique electronic seal (see the Rules for requirements);
4. A copy of your unique electronic notarial certificate or other technology for rendering a notarized electronic document tamper-evident;
5. A copy of the  instructions or techniques supplied by the vendor that allows the online notary public’s electronic notarial certificate to be read and authenticated;
6. A copy of the instructions or techniques supplied by the vendor that allow the online notary public to conduct identity proofing and credential analysis.

If you have any questions, reach out to the Secretary of State's office at this email: tnsos.mvtl@tn.gov.

Please note: If you were already authorized to perform online notarizations prior to your application with Notarize, you must inform the Secretary of State that you are now using Notarize.
