What Is Electronic Notarization?

Electronic notarization (e-notarization) is an in-person notarization where the notary uses electronic tools rather than traditional ink stamps, paper journals, and wet signatures. The signer must still appear before the notary in person — the difference is in the technology used to complete and record the transaction. The notary applies a digital seal that is tamper-evident, maintains an electronic journal, and the signer uses an electronic signature pad or device. E-notarization should not be confused with remote online notarization (RON), which allows the notary and signer to be in different locations via video call.

When Do You Need a Electronic Notarization?

You prefer digital document workflows over paper
Your organization requires tamper-evident notarial records

How Much Does a Electronic Notarization Cost?

Standard state notary fees ($2–$15 per signature)

Electronic notarization fees are the same as traditional notarization fees — they are governed by state fee schedules. The difference is in the technology used, not the cost. Some notaries may charge a small technology fee for electronic processing, but this is not common.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between e-notarization and remote online notarization?▾

E-notarization requires the signer to be physically present with the notary — only the tools are electronic. Remote online notarization (RON) allows the signer and notary to be in different locations, connected by video call. They are different processes with different legal requirements.

Do all states allow electronic notarization?▾

Most states now permit electronic notarization, but the specific rules and technology requirements vary. Some states require notaries to register as electronic notaries separately from their traditional commission. Check your state's notary laws for current requirements.

Is an electronic notarization as legally valid as a traditional one?▾

Yes. In states that authorize e-notarization, electronically notarized documents have the same legal standing as traditionally notarized documents. The federal ESIGN Act and state versions of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) support the validity of electronic signatures and seals.
