Frequently asked questions

What is Notarize?

Notarize — a service offered by Proof — is the industry leading solution for online notarization. Embedded within the service is the byproduct of eight years worth of work as our namesake, the Notarize Network℠. The Network is made up of thousands of carefully selected notaries who have not only been extensively vetted and trained, but accomplished (and respected) experts across the industry. When you need a notarization, they’ll serve as notaries. When you need identities verified and the risk associated with doing so eliminated, they’ll serve as trusted referees. The best part? They’re available through Proof 24/7 from any WiFi enabled device with a camera. (Bonus points: notaries and trusted referees are typically available within 2-seconds once you’ve requested their services.)

Where are online notarizations legal and valid?

Online notarization is just another method of performing notarizations. A document notarized online is as legally valid as one notarized via traditional paper-based notarization. Online notarizations are valid and enforceable in every state with their validity determined by applying the law of the notary’s commissioning state. As public officials of their state, notaries must perform notarizations in compliance with the laws of their state, and every state recognizes properly performed notarizations of other states.

Can two or more signers get their signatures notarized in a single meeting?

Yes. Signers have the flexibility to complete a transaction together on a shared device, simultaneously on multiple devices, or in separate notary meetings. Each signer must complete the identification process separately and signers who miss the initial meeting can still get their signatures notarized in a subsequent notary meeting.

Where are online notarizations valid and enforceable?

As public officials of their state, notaries must perform notarizations in compliance with the laws of their state, and every state recognizes properly performed notarizations of other states.

How does Proof ensure the security and privacy of personal information on notarized documents?

Proof employs various measures to ensure the security and privacy of personal information. This includes using strong encryption standards and protocols for data in transit and at rest along with comprehensive logging and tracking. The Proof platform is supported and developed through security best practices and controls from industry standards and frameworks such as NIST and SOC 2. Proof participates in third-party audits, penetration testing, and other programs to test and validate such controls. For more information on Proof’s privacy practices, see Proof’s Privacy Policy.
