Online notary information

---

You   will  need  a  device  -  computer,  smartphone,  or tablet,  that  has  internet  and  audio-video capabilities.    

You  will  need  a  US  Social  Security  number  and  a  credit  history  in  the  US  -  that's how  the third  party  pulls  your  info  to generate  your questions for the  Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA)  ID  process.    Your credit is not checked!

Online notarizations can be conducted using SIGNiX or Notarize/Proof platforms.  

You will need to email me the document(s) that need to be signed and notarized in PDF form.    It's ok to have everything filled out - EXCEPT for the signatures,  you'll be signing online with me.  

I will also need the names (as they appear on their driver's license) and email addresses of all signers. This includes any witnesses that may be required to sign.  

I will tag and prep your document(s) for our online session.

I will ask you to confirm when you will be available to sign your document(s) online with me.  I will schedule that time and you will receive an email from me at that time for the online session and to review your documents.

You should use Google Chrome or Firefox browsers for the best security.  Safari can be used but I have experienced some problems with the platforms when using Safari.  You will need to have access to your email and be at a computer with a camera and speakers for the next steps. 

You will get an email for the KBA (Knowledge Based Authentication) ID Verification.  You will need to have your Social Security number and driver's license handy when requested by the online platform. 

**You must have a US Social Security number and a credit history (to generate the KBA questions) to pass the KBA ID process.   *There are 5 questions that you will need to answer within 2 minutes, you will need to get at least 4 out of the 5 correct to pass.  If you fail the KBA twice, we cannot move forward with the online session for 24 hours.  I have to pay a third party for your ID validation process, in the event that you fail and cannot go forward with the online notarization, I will refund the notarization fee but NOT the ID verification ($10 each try) or the fees, if any, for tagging your document(s).

*It's the law in the State of Tennessee for online notarizations to be audio-video recorded and the signer(s) to pass the KBA/ID process for the notarization to be legal.

You will be invited to the online meeting with me and we will go over your documents.  You will be able to sign then.  Each person who's listed to sign will sign in order.  Then I will sign last and notarize.

After the signing is complete and notarized you will get an email with a link to your completed documents that you can download, email or print.

I'm happy to answer any question you may have now and later during the signing process.  Please feel free to call me at 865-386-7398

*I require payment before I send you the link to your documents.  There is a link at the bottom of this page you can pay through.

*Please remember it is up to you to verify and confirm your documents will be accepted by  the  receiving  party  signed and notarized online.  Even though online notarization is legal in Tennessee -  sometimes documents are NOT accepted by the third party.  I have no way of knowing if your documents will be accepted.  

Some counties that  do  not  e-record  documents  (ex:  Warranty  Deeds)  require a  Document  Custodian  Form to be signed and  notarized.    If  you  need  the  Document  Custodian  Form  I  can  provide  that  also,  for  an  additional  fee.
