The notary's digital certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority and bound to their state commission. When they apply the seal, the entire document is hashed and signed cryptographically — any subsequent modification breaks the signature. The session video, ID scans, and signed PDF are stored in a state-compliant repository for the required retention period (typically 5–10 years), creating an evidence package far stronger than a traditional ink-and-paper notarization.
Digital notarization is the default choice for refinance closings, employment onboarding, vendor contracts, corporate resolutions, and any signing where the document will live electronically anyway. Wet-ink originals are still required for a shrinking list of recordable real estate documents in some counties, and for certain probate filings. For everything else, digital is faster, cheaper, and produces a better audit trail.

Digital notary services let you execute and notarize documents entirely electronically — no paper, no wet ink, no in-person meeting. The signer, notary, and document meet on a secure platform; the notary applies a digital seal backed by a cryptographic certificate.
Each notarial certificate is signed with the notary's PKI-based digital certificate. The signed PDF is tamper-evident — any change to the document after signing invalidates the seal. The video session is recorded and stored as an audit trail.
Legally, yes — a digital seal carries the same authority as a wet stamp under the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), the E-SIGN Act, and state RON statutes. Practically, the digital version is more verifiable because it carries a cryptographic audit trail.
Yes. Digitally notarized documents can be apostilled or authenticated for use in countries party to the Hague Convention. Some destination countries still prefer paper originals — confirm with the receiving authority.
Open the signed PDF in Adobe Acrobat (or any compliant PDF reader). The signature panel displays the notary's certificate, the time of signing, and whether the document has been altered since the seal was applied.
