How online notarization works in New York

Upload the document, scan your photo ID, and complete knowledge-based authentication. You join a live video call with a New York-commissioned online notary who confirms your identity on camera, watches you sign electronically, and applies a tamper-evident digital seal. The session is recorded and stored as a state-compliant audit trail. You download the sealed PDF as soon as the call ends — usually within 15 minutes of booking.

Why New York signers choose online notarization

No travel to a UPS Store or bank branch. No appointment juggling. No printing a 40-page loan package.
