The Fastest Online Notary Service for Construction Businesses

To use the OneNotary platform, you need a web browser such as Google Chrome or Safari. To perform an online notarization, both the notary and the signer must have a reliable internet connection, a video camera, a speaker, and a microphone.

First, you’ll schedule an appointment with an available notary on the OneNotary website. After the invitation to an online notarization session is sent to the signer, the signer has to go through the pre-signing steps: open an email with the invitation; upload a document; complete identity verification, and credential analysis; submit payment details. When the signer is ready for the notarization session, the notary will invite the signer to connect.

OneNotary partners with a 3rd party provider to ensure the signer's identity. Identity verification requires two steps. First, the signer must answer specific questions that confirm their identity. Second, the signer must photograph the front and back of their driver's license using a smartphone. The signer then sends these images through an encrypted channel where they undergo a multi-layered identity analysis. Only signers with a confirmed identity can proceed with the online notarization session.

The online notarization session starts when the notary presses the "Start Session" button and you’ll press “Connect” on your side. You and the notary meet virtually in the same session window. The notary confirms your identity and describes the next steps. You fill in the required information and sign the document electronically. After this, the notary attaches a digital notarization seal and, if necessary, a notarization certificate. Once the notarization is complete, the notary closes the session. The notarized document is available to you immediately afterward.

Once the notarization session is completed, you will be redirected to the session summary page where you will see the link to download the documents. Your clients will see the documents and their accounts. They will also receive an email with a link to download the documents. Please note that we only keep your documents for 7 days after the notarization session is completed.

OneNotary partners with industry leaders to provide secure identity verification, payment collection, and encrypted data storage. Every session takes place in a secure virtual environment. All confidential information that we are not required to keep is deleted.
