Problem
Individuals and businesses often face delays, travel constraints, and limited office hours when obtaining a traditional notarization, which can stall time‑sensitive transactions and increase operational costs.
Solution
Notarize delivers a cloud‑based, on‑demand notarization platform that connects signers with commissioned notaries via secure video calls. Users upload PDFs or DOCX files, complete a multi‑factor identity check, and receive a legally binding electronic notary seal in under ten minutes. The service operates 24/7 across all 50 states, with notaries in key jurisdictions authorized to notarize documents for any state. End‑to‑end encryption and SOC 2/NIST‑aligned controls protect personal data both in transit and at rest. The platform generates a tamper‑evident audit trail that satisfies regulatory and compliance requirements. Multi‑signer sessions allow participants to join from separate devices or share a single screen, enabling collaborative closings. For enterprises, an API and webhook framework enable seamless integration with existing workflow and e‑sign solutions.
