Traditional Notarization
Traditional notarization is an in-person service in which a notary public physically witnesses the signing of documents or verifies that a signer willingly acknowledges their signature. Additional notarial acts may include jurats, in which a signer swears an oath or affirmation regarding the truthfulness of a document's contents, and copy certifications, when permitted by law, verifying that a photocopy is a true and accurate reproduction of an original document. As with all our services, your privacy is respected, and copies of your documents are not retained.
In-Person Electronic Notarization
In-person electronic notarization (IPEN) is a modern notarization method in which the signer and notary meet face-to-face while signing electronic documents. This approach combines the personal interaction of traditional notarization with the convenience and efficiency of digital documents.
Rather than signing paper documents, signers use a secure electronic platform and digital device to complete the notarization process. IPEN services are typically arranged through title companies, lenders, or other authorized business partners that prepare and manage the electronic document package in compliance with Virginia law.
Remote Online Notarization
Remote online notarization (RON) is a secure, modern way to notarize documents remotely. Signers and notaries complete the process through a secure video conference, eliminating the need for an in-person meeting. This option is ideal for clients who are traveling, located out of state, or simply prefer the convenience and privacy of handling documents from home.
Our RON services use a Virginia-approved technology provider to verify identity, protect document integrity, and create a secure digital record of the transaction. In accordance with Virginia law, an audiovisual recording of the notarization session is retained, but copies of your documents are not. Clients are responsible for confirming that the receiving party accepts remotely notarized documents before proceeding.
