Why online notary is a far better option for Georgians than traditional in-person notary services?
- ZOnline notary reduces the time and costs expense and time of getting your documents notarized Transaction time is reduced, and the costs of fuel, travel, and printing are eliminated. Because online notaries can typically perform more sessions per day than a traditional or mobile notary, it’s much easier to schedule an online notary session.
- ZEach signed and sealed document contains the online notary public’s personal digital signing certificate. This security feature renders the document tamper-evident, making any attempted alteration to the document detectable in the document’s digital record. The digital signature reduces the chance for fraud in a way that is not possible with traditional ink-and-paper signatures.
- ZThe availability of notarization online lets more people access a notary, which is all the more critical during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns about contracting the virus and prevailing social distancing have caused many people hesitant about being in close physical proximity to an in-person notary. This problem is especially significant for people in health care or assisted living facilities and the elderly. The availability of online notary removes this problem by letting a signer access a notary public by remote means.
- ZThere are several components of the online notary process that provide more security than in-person notary. Each online notary session is recorded, so any signs of duress or incapacity can be reviewed long after the session’s completion. And the identity of the signer is verified by identity-proofing questions and a technology-driven analysis of the signer’s photo ID card. OnlineNotary.us uses technology that can instantly analyze any US driver’s license, state-issued ID, or US Passport. This level of ID verification is all but impossible for an in-person notary to perform.
