Online notary in New Jersey

Meet a commissioned New Jersey notary over secure live video. Here is how remote online notarization works in New Jersey, what you need, and what to keep in mind.

A commissioned New Jersey notary

Your notary is Ranjeet Singh, a commissioned New Jersey Notary Public (Commission #0050239921, expires December 1, 2030). Notarizations are conducted under New Jersey's Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts, RULONA (P.L. 2021, c.179), which authorizes remote online notarization in the state.

What is remote online notarization?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows a notary to perform a notarial act for a signer who appears by live audio-video rather than in person. The notary confirms the signer's identity, watches the signing on camera, completes the notarial certificate, and keeps a record of the act.

Signer requirements

  • A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID.
  • A device with a working camera and microphone.
  • A stable internet connection.
  • The ability to appear live before the notary and sign on camera.
  • Any witnesses your document requires, arranged in advance.

Document requirements

Upload a clean, unsigned PDF. Do not sign it beforehand unless your specific instructions say otherwise. The notary notarizes signatures and completes the certificate, but does not decide which document you should use or advise on its contents.

Identity verification

Your identity is confirmed during the session, and how it was confirmed is recorded as part of the notarial record.

Record keeping

New Jersey requires the session to be audio-video recorded, and the notary keeps a journal of the act. These records are retained for the period New Jersey law requires. See privacy and security for how they are stored.

Limitations

Some documents cannot be notarized online in New Jersey, including wills, codicils, and testamentary documents. A remotely notarized document is generally recognized like an in-person one, but acceptance is not guaranteed, and the receiving organization may impose its own requirements. When in doubt, confirm with them first, or use Can I Notarize This?.

Where you can be

The notary is commissioned in New Jersey. As the signer, you can generally join from wherever you have an internet connection, though the requirements of the party receiving your document still apply.
