In today’s busy world, finding time to meet with a notary in person can feel like one more thing on an already packed to-do list. Many people ask the question, where and how do I find a notary if they have never needed to use one before. That’s where online notarization steps in — a modern solution that combines convenience, security, and flexibility to simplify your life.


What Is Online Notarization?

Online notarization (sometimes called “virtual notarization”, "remote online notarization," or “online notary service”) allows you to meet with a notary through a secure video call instead of in person. You upload your documents, verify your identity online, and sign while the notary watches in real time. The notary then applies their official seal electronically, completing the process.


It’s the same process as traditional notarization — just done through technology!


What Makes Online Notarization Secure?

Many people wonder, “Is it safe to notarize my documents online?” The answer is yes — and in fact, it can be more secure than meeting in person. Here’s why:

🔒 Identity Verification – You’ll need to upload a valid government-issued ID, and your identity is checked with advanced tools to prevent fraud.

🎥 Recorded Session – Every notarization is recorded and stored, creating a digital trail for extra protection.

Tamper-Proof Documents – Once notarized, your documents are digitally sealed to prevent alterations.

These safeguards go beyond what typically happens in a face-to-face appointment.


How Online Notarization Simplifies Life

  • Convenience: No travel, no waiting — just log in from your computer or phone.

  • Flexibility: Schedule an appointment that works for you, even evenings or weekends.  Appointments can be scheduled practically 24/7.

  • Anywhere Access: Whether you’re at home, at the office, or traveling, you can complete notarization for U.S.-related documents from wherever you are.

  • Faster Turnaround: Upload, sign, and receive your notarized document within minutes.

Instead of rearranging your day to meet a notary, the notary comes to you — virtually.


When Online Notarization Helps Most

  • Real estate documents

  • Power of attorney

  • Affidavits and sworn statements

  • Financial agreements

  • Business contracts

Whether it’s for personal, legal, or business needs, online notarization saves time while keeping your documents safe.


Life is busy enough. With online notarization, you get the peace of mind that your documents are notarized securely, without the stress of scheduling or travel. House of Perry Notarial Services makes the process simple, safe, and tailored to your schedule.
