Document Eligibility Review

Not Sure If Your U.S. Document Can Be Notarized Online From Outside the U.S.?

Most eligible U.S. documents can be notarized online by secure video with a commissioned U.S. online notary, even when the signer is physically outside the United States. International signers don’t need to travel to a U.S. consulate for many common documents — they just need the right route. Pricing starts at $75 per notary stamp.

Most People Hesitate For One Of These Reasons

Almost every one has a clear answer before you book.

“Can a U.S. notary really notarize my document if I’m outside the U.S.?”

Yes — many eligible U.S. documents can be notarized online by a commissioned U.S. online notary while the signer is physically outside the U.S., using secure video and identity verification.

“Is my document type eligible?”

Powers of attorney, affidavits, sworn statements, authorization letters, real-estate forms, parental consent forms, and many business documents are commonly notarized online. Eligibility depends on document type and receiving-party requirements.

“Is the session secure?”

Yes. Sessions use a secure video platform, government-issued photo ID verification, and the recorded audit trail required for online notarization.

“Will the receiving party accept it?”

Acceptance depends on the receiving agency, court, school, employer, or institution. We recommend confirming their notarization or authentication requirements before the session.

“Do I also need an apostille?”

International notarization is not an apostille. Some receiving parties also require apostille or authentication after notarization — we can support that separately when eligible.

“How long does the session take?”

Most sessions are short. The longest part is usually ID verification and document review — the notarization itself is typically only a few minutes once everything is confirmed.

Confirm These Four Things So Your Session Goes Smoothly

A short pre-check prevents most rescheduling and re-signing.

Your document is unsigned

Do not sign the document before the session unless the notary or document explicitly instructs you to.

You have valid photo ID

You will need a valid government-issued photo ID for identity verification. A passport is commonly used by international signers.

Your tech is ready

A working camera, microphone, and stable internet connection are required for the secure online video session.

You know the receiving party

Confirm what the receiving party requires: notarization only, or notarization plus apostille or authentication.

Signature Type & Whether You Also Need an Apostille

These two details often determine whether the receiving party accepts your finished document.

Electronic signature vs. wet ink

Online notarization uses an electronic signature applied during the secure video session. The result is an electronically notarized document.

If the receiving party requires a physical wet-ink signature and paper notarization, online notarization may not be the right route — confirm before booking.

International notarization is not an apostille

Notarization confirms the signature. Apostille (or authentication / legalization) is a separate step required by some receiving agencies.

If your receiving party requires apostille, we can support that after the document is notarized, subject to eligibility. View Apostille Services.

From Booking To Notarized Document

Four steps. Most signers complete the whole process the same day.

1

Book your international notarization

Choose your appointment time and complete checkout at $75 per notary stamp. Add stamps or signers as needed.

2

Upload your unsigned document

From the meeting page, upload the unsigned document so the notary can review it before the session starts.

3

Verify ID and meet the notary online

Complete the identity verification process and join the secure video session with a commissioned U.S. online notary.

4

Receive your notarized document

Your electronically notarized document is delivered. If apostille is required afterward, we can help route it from there.
