General
What is remote online notarization?
Remote Online Notarization (RON) lets you meet a commissioned notary over secure live video instead of driving to an office. You verify your identity, sign on camera, and the notary completes the notarial act on the record. In New Jersey it is authorized under RULONA (P.L. 2021, c.179).
Do I need to visit an office?
No. Everything happens online from your phone, tablet, or computer.
Do I need a printer?
No. You upload a PDF and receive a sealed electronic document you can download and share.
Who is the notary?
Ranjeet Singh, a commissioned New Jersey Notary Public (Commission #0050239921, expires December 1, 2030).
Documents
Can I notarize a PDF?
Yes. Upload a clean, unsigned PDF. Do not sign it beforehand unless your specific instructions say otherwise.
Can I notarize more than one document?
Yes. Multiple documents can be handled in one session. Each additional notarial act is $15.
Are there documents you cannot notarize online?
Yes. For example, New Jersey does not permit remote online notarization of wills, codicils, and testamentary documents. If you are unsure, use Can I Notarize This? or contact us first.
Identity verification
What ID is accepted?
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport.
What if my ID is expired?
An expired ID generally cannot be used. Contact us before your session if this applies to you.
What happens if verification fails?
If your identity cannot be confirmed, the notarization cannot proceed. We will explain why and what to try next. See what to do if verification fails.
Payment
How much does it cost?
$25 for the first notarial act and $15 for each additional act in the same session. See pricing for worked examples.
When am I charged?
You pay by card at checkout, before your session, through Stripe. Your full total is shown first.
What if my document cannot be notarized?
If a document is not eligible, contact us and we will help you understand your options. Refund details are in our Terms & Refund Policy.
Sessions & technology
What devices work?
A phone, tablet, or computer with a working camera and microphone, on a recent browser and a stable internet connection.
What if my connection drops?
Rejoin using the same link. If problems continue, see video troubleshooting or contact us to reschedule.
Is my session recorded?
Yes. New Jersey requires the session to be audio-video recorded, and the recording is retained as part of the notarial record.
Multiple signers & witnesses
Can more than one person sign?
Yes. Multiple signers can be notarized in the same session. Each additional notarial act is $15.
Can witnesses participate?
Some documents require one or more witnesses. If yours does, please arrange for them in advance and contact us so we can plan the session. See witnesses.
Legal & acceptance
Is online notarization legal?
Yes. Remote Online Notarization is authorized in New Jersey under RULONA (P.L. 2021, c.179).
Will my bank, court, or agency accept it?
A remotely notarized document generally carries the same legal weight as one notarized in person and is commonly recognized. Acceptance is not guaranteed, and the receiving organization may have its own requirements, so it is best to confirm with them first.
Can it be used internationally or apostilled?
International use often involves an apostille, which is issued by the State, not by a notary. Notarization can be a first step for some documents. See our apostille page.
Privacy
How long are records retained?
Notarial records, including the recording and journal entry, are retained in line with New Jersey's requirements. See our privacy page.
Who can access my documents?
Your finished document is available to you in your account, and to the notary for the notarial record. Access is protected by your login. See security.
