How do I sign my document?
Do not sign your document before you upload it to NotaryCam. We use electronic signing (e-signing) technology that requires no additional hardware on your end, just your keyboard. When you are in session with a notary, you will e-sign by typing your name onto the document. We embed a number of security features into the document to protect the validity of your signature. The legal validity of e-signatures is well established by the ESIGN Act of 2000 and UETA.
Is this legal in my state?
Yes! We have successfully and legally notarized documents for people from all 50 states, as well as people overseas.
All our notaries are licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia, and are official representatives of the state. Although only notaries licensed by the Commonwealth of Virginia are allowed to notarize documents online, Virginia explicitly gives its notaries the ability to notarize documents from people outside of Virginia. In addition, the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution requires each state respect the "public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state."
Underlying this, electronic signatures were generally made equal to "wet" signatures back in 2000 with the signing of the
E-SIGN Act.
