🤔 Ever Wondered What Parts of the Notary Process Could Be Done by AI?

In today’s fast-moving digital world, AI is transforming nearly every industry—including the notary profession. But here’s the truth: AI isn’t here to replace notaries. It’s here to assist us.

As a Remote Online Notary (RON), I’ve seen firsthand how tools powered by AI can make certain processes faster and more secure. From identity verification to fraud detection, the technology is powerful—but it still requires a human in the loop to ensure everything is done correctly, ethically, and legally.

How AI Is Supporting the Notary Process

1. Identity Verification

AI tools can scan IDs, analyze biometric data, and flag discrepancies that might indicate fraud. This speeds up online onboarding and adds a layer of protection for all parties involved.

2. Fraud Detection

With document analysis and digital fingerprinting, AI can flag altered forms or mismatched signatures—helping prevent notary fraud.

3. Automation of Repetitive Tasks

From appointment scheduling to pre-filled forms, AI helps streamline back-end tasks so notaries can focus on providing quality service.

Real-Life Example: When AI and Human Judgment Work Together

Recently, I remotely notarized documents for a client using a platform with built-in AI verification. The system confirmed the ID with no red flags—saving valuable time. But during our video session, I noticed the client seemed unsure. As a notary (not a lawyer), it’s not my role to offer legal advice—but I can pause, clarify the document’s purpose, and make sure the signer understands what they’re signing. That moment of human connection made all the difference. AI couldn’t catch that—but I could. The result? A smooth, secure, and legally sound notarization—powered by both tech and human care.

Why Human Oversight Still Matters

Even the best AI can’t interpret laws, handle emotional client moments, or assume legal responsibility. That’s where trained, commissioned notaries make the difference.

A licensed notary ensures:

• The signer understands what they’re signing

• There’s no coercion or confusion

• The process complies with state notary laws

AI doesn’t carry legal liability. We do.

Traditional Notarization: The Old Way

In a traditional setting, notarization happens in person with a physical notary present. Here's how it typically works:

• You schedule a time to meet the notary (often at a bank, law office, or shipping center)

• Bring physical ID and documents

• The notary reviews your ID and witnesses your signature

• You receive a stamped, paper version of the document

🔻 Drawbacks:

• Requires travel and physical presence

• Limited availability after hours or on weekends

• More time-consuming (especially with complex paperwork)

• 
  

AI-Supported Online Notarization: The New Standard

With Remote Online Notarization (RON), the process is handled entirely online — often with AI-powered tools to streamline identity verification, document uploads, and compliance checks.

Here’s how it works when using a platform like BlueNotary (which I use for all remote sessions):

• You upload your document and ID digitally

• AI tools assist in verifying your identity securely

• We meet in a live, recorded video session for signing

• You receive a tamper-proof digital notarized document — often within minutes

Benefits:

• Fast, convenient, and legally valid

• No need to travel or print paperwork

• Available evenings, weekends, and for clients abroad

• AI tools reduce human error and ensure compliance with state laws

Common Questions About AI in Notarization

Will AI put notaries out of work? No —AI supports notaries, but it doesn’t replace legal judgment or accountability.

Is my data safe with AI verification? Yes. I use secure, compliant platforms that meet HIPAA and state privacy regulations.

Can AI catch all fraud attempts? Not entirely. AI can detect patterns, but human review is essential for spotting subtle red flags.
