Online Notary in California
Need a document notarized in California without hunting for a notary? With remote online notarization you meet a commissioned notary over live video and get your document notarized in minutes. Every Jurably filing includes that session; when a signer won’t go online, a mobile notary is the in-person alternative.
How online notarization works in California
California's own notaries can't notarize remotely until January 1, 2030, but a notary commissioned in another state can, and that act is generally recognized in California. The rules are in our California remote online notarization laws guide. You upload your document, verify your identity through credential analysis and knowledge-based authentication, and appear before a commissioned notary by two-way video. The notary witnesses your signature and applies an electronic notarial seal, with the session recorded to a secure audit trail.
It works for a wide range of documents — affidavits, powers of attorney, and many real-estate instruments (subject to each county's acceptance of electronic records). When a signer can't or won't go online, a mobile notary meets them in person instead.
