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.
