What we do
We perform notarial acts
Performed by a notary commissioned by the State of Ohio who holds a separate authorization from the Ohio Secretary of State to notarize online.
What we can't do
Anything that isn't the act itself
- Tell you which document or which notarial act you need
- Draft, complete, correct, or review your document's content
- Apply for or obtain any government document for you
- Represent you before a court, agency, or consulate
- Provide immigration advice or immigration form assistance
An Ohio notary is not an attorney and is prohibited by Ohio law from giving legal advice. If you need to know what your document should say, talk to a licensed attorney first.
The session, start to finish
Six steps, in this order
1
Upload your document
Unsigned and complete, with no blank spaces left to fill.
2
Present your ID
A valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification credential.
3
Pass credential analysis and identity proofing
Handled by the platform. See the fee note below about sessions where this step doesn't pass.
4
Meet the notary on live audio-video
Two-way, in real time. A plain Zoom, Teams, or FaceTime call cannot be used to perform an Ohio notarial act — if anyone offers that, it isn't a valid notarization.
5
Sign electronically
You sign; the notary completes the act and applies the electronic seal.
6
Download the finished record
Tamper-evident electronic document and certificate, delivered through the platform.

What Is Remote Online Notarization?
Remote Online Notarization, often called RON, allows an authorized online notary to notarize an eligible electronic document while the signer appears through live two-way audio-video communication.
💻
Live Online Appearance
You meet the notary through a secure online platform instead of physically visiting an office.
🪪
Identity Verification
Your identity is verified using government ID review, credential analysis, KBA, or another legally permitted method.
🔐
Digital Notary Seal
The final PDF includes an electronic notarial certificate, electronic seal, and digital signature.
RON is not simply a Zoom call. A proper online notarization must include identity verification, the signer’s personal appearance by live audio-video, an electronic journal entry, and a recorded session.
Identity Verification, KBA, and Credible Witness
Identity verification is one of the most important parts of online notarization. Preparing correctly helps avoid delays.
🪪
Government Photo ID
A driver license, state ID, or passport is commonly used. The ID must be clear and acceptable to the platform.
❓
KBA Questions
Knowledge-based authentication may ask questions based on public or credit-history data. Some international signers may have difficulty with KBA.
👥
Credible Witness
In some cases, a credible witness may help verify identity if legally permitted and accepted by the platform.
