Currently Open Weekday Evenings & Weekends
Traditional Notarization
Traditional notarization involves a notary public physically witnessing the signing of documents or verifying that the signer willingly acknowledges their signature — a process known as an acknowledgment. It may also include jurats, in which the signer swears an oath or affirmation attesting to the truthfulness of the document’s contents. Another form, copy certification, allows a notary — when permitted — to verify that a photocopy of an original document is a true and accurate reproduction. As with all our services, we respect your privacy and do not retain copies of your documents.
In-Person Electronic Notarization
In-person electronic notarization (IPEN) is a modern method in which the notary and signer meet face-to-face while handling electronic documents. This approach preserves the personal presence of traditional notarization while delivering the convenience of a signed digital document.
Instead of paper, a secure platform and digital device are used to manage the process. The customer uploads the document in advance, allowing for smooth electronic sharing and signing during the appointment, 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 via a secure video conference — no in-person meeting required. This option is ideal for clients who are traveling, located out of state, or prefer the privacy and convenience of handling documents from home.
Our RON services use a Virginia-approved technology provider to ensure identity verification, document integrity, and a secure digital record. In accordance with Virginia law, a secure audiovisual recording of the notarization session is retained — but not the document itself.
