What Is Online Notarization?

The Same Legal Seal, Without the Trip

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is real notarization — authorized by Washington law and recognized across the country. Instead of driving to an office, you meet a commissioned notary in a secure video room. Your identity is verified with bank-grade credential analysis, the notary witnesses your signature electronically, and a tamper-evident digital seal is applied on the spot.

The result is a sealed PDF that courts, lenders, title companies, and government agencies accept — often more readily than paper, because every session is recorded and every seal is cryptographically verifiable. It's the notarization you know, rebuilt for the way you actually live and work.

  • Legally valid in all 50 states
  • Tamper-evident digital seal & certificate
  • Full video record of every session
  • Accepted by courts, lenders & agencies

1

Upload Your Document

Drag in the PDF or snap a photo. Don't sign it yet — the notary must witness that part live on camera.

2

Verify Your Identity

A quick photo of your government ID plus a few knowledge-based questions — the same bank-grade verification lenders use.

3

Meet Your Notary

Connect face-to-face with a live commissioned notary on video. They confirm your ID, witness your e-signature, and apply the digital seal.

4

Security & Compliance

More Rigorous Than a Walk-In Signing

A paper notarization rests on a glance at your driver's license. A Clarity session verifies you three ways before the notary ever applies a seal: forensic credential analysis of your government ID, knowledge-based authentication questions drawn from public records, and a live face-to-face check on camera.

Every session is encrypted end to end and recorded, every sealed document carries a tamper-evident digital certificate, and every notarization is logged in the notary's electronic journal as Washington law requires. If anyone ever questions your document, the proof isn't a memory — it's a video.

  • Forensic ID credential analysis
  • Knowledge-based identity questions
  • End-to-end encrypted, recorded sessions
  • Tamper-evident seal on every document

Reviews

Signed, Sealed, Delighted

I'm stationed overseas and needed a power of attorney notarized for my wife to close on our house in Tacoma. Fifteen minutes on a video call from Germany and it was done — sealed, emailed, and accepted by the title company the same day. Genuinely couldn't believe how painless it was.

Our HR team notarizes dozens of employment verifications and I-9 affidavits a month. Clarity set us up with a team account, and what used to be a week of scheduling chaos is now a same-day video session. The audit trail alone is worth it.
Melissa TranHR Director · Team Account
It was 9 PM and I needed a sworn statement notarized before an 8 AM court filing. Connected with a live notary in under ten minutes, ID check was quick and professional, and the sealed PDF was in my inbox before I finished my tea. This is how it should work.
Danielle OseiAffidavit · Seattle
As a real estate attorney I was skeptical of online notarization. Clarity's sessions are more rigorous than most in-person signings I've witnessed — credential analysis, knowledge-based ID questions, full video record. It's now my default recommendation for out-of-state sellers.

Common Questions

Everything People Ask Before Their First Session

Is online notarization actually legal?

Yes. Washington authorized Remote Online Notarization by statute, and documents notarized online are legally valid in all 50 states under interstate recognition laws. Courts, lenders, title companies, and government agencies accept RON documents every day — often more readily than paper, because each one carries a verifiable digital certificate and a recorded session behind it.

What do I need for a session?

Three things: your unsigned document (as a PDF or clear photo), a current government-issued photo ID, and a device with a camera, microphone, and internet — a phone, tablet, or laptop all work. You'll also answer a few knowledge-based identity questions, which for most U.S. residents requires a Social Security number. The whole checklist is on this page under 'What You'll Need.'

How long does it take, really?

The average session runs about twelve minutes from upload to sealed PDF, and the average wait for a notary during operating hours is under five. Complex documents with multiple signers can take longer, but even a full loan package typically wraps inside an hour — still faster than scheduling a single in-person appointment.

Will my document be accepted where I'm sending it?

Almost always, yes — RON documents are accepted nationwide, and each comes with a tamper-evident certificate that makes verification easier than paper. A small number of document types (like some wills) and a few specific recipients still require in-person notarization, so if you're unsure, send us the document type and destination first and we'll give you a straight answer before you pay anything.

What if I'm outside the United States?

That's one of the best use cases. As long as you have a U.S.-issued ID (or in some cases a foreign passport plus supporting verification) and a stable connection, you can notarize from anywhere in the world — military bases, embassies, hotel rooms. Our Washington notaries handle sessions from overseas signers every single day.

How is my personal information protected?

Sessions are encrypted end to end, ID images are used only for verification and stored under Washington's retention rules, and we never sell or share your data. The session recording and electronic journal entry exist for exactly one purpose: to make your notarization provable if anyone ever challenges it.
