Online LLC & Corporate Notary

What is an LLC or corporate document?

LLC and corporate documents are the papers that form and govern a company and record who owns and controls it. For a limited liability company the central document is the operating agreement, which sets out the members, their ownership percentages, how the company is managed, and how decisions and profits are handled.

This category also includes formation and organizational documents, membership interest transfers, member or manager resolutions, ownership certificates, and consents. For general contracts and agreements that are not specific to company ownership, see our Business Documents page.

Can it be notarized online?

Yes, in most cases. New Jersey allows remote online notarization of operating agreements and similar company records. Each signing member or officer appears on camera, presents ID, and signs while a commissioned notary completes the certificate.

New Jersey does not generally require an operating agreement to be notarized, but members often choose to notarize for an extra layer of proof, and a bank, investor, or partner may ask for it. Whether a notarized company document is accepted depends on the party relying on it, so confirm their requirements first.

What you'll need

• The unsigned document as a PDF. Do not sign it in advance.
• A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID for each signer.
• Each signing member or officer on a device with camera and microphone.
• A stable internet connection and a quiet, well-lit space.
• Any witnesses the document or receiving party requires.

How BKS Notary helps

You meet a commissioned New Jersey notary in a live video session. The notary confirms each signer's identity, watches each member or officer sign, administers any required oath, and completes the notarial certificates on the record.

You receive tamper-evident, sealed PDFs that a bank, investor, or partner can verify as authentic and unaltered. Each notarized signature is a separate notarial act, and your full total is shown before you pay. The recording and notarial record are retained in line with New Jersey's requirements.

What the notary does not do

The notary verifies identity, witnesses signatures, and completes certificates. The notary does not give legal or business advice, does not draft or review your operating agreement, does not file your company with the state, and does not confirm a signer's authority within the company.

The notary cannot guarantee that a bank or partner will accept the finished document. For help drafting or structuring company documents, consult an attorney before your session.

Common issues

• Already signed. The notary must watch each person sign. Upload a clean, unsigned document.
• Missing members. Every member whose signature must be notarized needs to attend with ID.
• Wrong capacity. Make sure the document shows each signer's title, such as member or managing member.
• Name mismatch. Each signer's name should match their ID. Contact us first if it does not.
