Preparing for Your Virtual Notary Appointment

Preparing for a virtual notary appointment ensures a smooth and efficient experience. The following steps will guide you through what to expect and how to prepare.
1

Prep Your Document

Save your document as a PDF. If it's on paper, you'll need to scan it to PDF (apps like CamScanner are great for this). Ensure all blanks are filled (unless intentionally left blank) and verify that all information is accurate. DO NOT pre-sign. Your signatures must be applied electronically during the video session with the notary present.
2

Gather Your I.D

You must have one unexpired, government-issued photo ID (e.g., Driver's License, State-Issued ID, Passport). Bring the actual physical ID for visual verification during the video call. Digital copies or photos of the ID are not accepted.
3

Set Up Your Tech & Internet

Use a computer, laptop, or tablet (larger screens are preferred) with a working camera and microphone. Ensure you have a reliable, stable internet connection for clear video and audio. Verify that your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) is updated for secure online access.
4

Create Your Space

Choose a quiet, well-lit room to minimize distractions. Ensure privacy by being alone with only those directly involved in the notarization. Use good lighting so your face and ID are clearly visible; avoid backlighting from bright windows.
5

Have Payment Ready

Have your credit card information available. Our secure platform will process payment prior to or at the start of your notarial act.
6

Be Ready To Connect

With your document, ID, payment, and setup complete, you'll be ready to join the secure video session at your scheduled time.
