Remote Online Notarization makes it easy to sign and notarize documents from anywhere. All you need is your ID, internet, and a few minutes.

But before you book, there are a few important things to know that will help your session go smoothly. Here are 5 tips from Alexia Signature Solutions to help you prepare:


1. Your ID Must Be Valid and Match Your Document Name

Remote notaries are required by law to verify your identity. You’ll need a government-issued photo ID that hasn’t expired. This includes:

  • Driver’s license

  • Passport

  • State ID

  • Military ID

⚠️ Make sure the name on your ID matches what’s on the document — or you could face delays.


2. You'll Need a Device with a Camera and Mic

Remote notarizations are conducted over secure video conferencing platforms like BlueNotary. You'll need a:

  • Smartphone, tablet, or computer

  • Working microphone and camera

  • Stable internet connection

💡 Pro tip: Sit in a quiet, well-lit space to avoid ID verification issues.


3. Documents Should Be Complete—But Unsigned

It’s important to fill out your documents before the session but do not sign them until instructed by your notary. This ensures your signature is legally witnessed and properly timestamped during the live session.


4. Payment Is Due After the Session

At Alexia Signature Solutions, we accept payment after the notarization is complete. You'll receive a secure link to pay via credit/debit card, Apple Pay, or other digital methods.


💳 Standard rate: $25 per notarization📄 Complex documents or additional signers may include a small fee.


5. Booking Takes Less Than 5 Minutes

Our process is designed to be quick and painless. Once you're ready:

Most sessions are done in 15–20 minutes or less, with notarized copies emailed to you right after.

💳 Secure payments accepted after your session. No need to pay upfront.
