A remote online notary public facilitates notarizations via audio-video technology, enabling clients to have documents legally signed and witnessed from anywhere with an internet connection. This service typically involves identity verification, witnessing the signature, and affixing a digital notary seal to electronic documents. An example would be a homeowner refinancing their mortgage and completing the closing process remotely with a notary public online.
The accessibility and convenience offered by this digital approach are significant advantages, streamlining transactions that traditionally required in-person meetings. This flexibility benefits both notaries and clients, saving time and travel costs, and expanding the potential client base for notaries. The development of this field reflects the increasing demand for digital solutions in legal and business processes, particularly with the rise of remote work and online transactions.
