Does the Person Signing the Document Need to be Present During Online Notarization?
Yes, the person signing the document must be present during an online notarization.
While online notarization offers convenience, it still requires real-time interaction between the signer and the notary public. The notary needs to verify the signer’s identity through a video conference and ensure that the signing is voluntary and understood.
This real-time interaction is crucial to maintain the integrity and legal validity of the notarization process.
