At the Notary Seal, We notarize just about every document that needs to be notarized in the paper world. There are a few exceptions though, so see below:
In an online notarization, both you and the notary electronically sign the notarized document. Per federal and state laws such as the ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), when both sides agree to perform their transaction electronically, electronic signatures are just as valid as handwritten signatures for virtually all documents. But, certain documents are excluded – see below. Also, some states, public agencies, and court systems impose additional requirements and limitations for accepting electronically signed documents, so it’s always important to check with your intended recipient to confirm their specific requirements for accepting electronically signed and notarized documents.
We currently do not notarize:
Birth, Marriage, or Death Certificates
Divorce decrees
Court-issued documents
In some cases, your recipient may require original signatures from all signers. In order to fulfill this requirement, you will need to either:
1. Meet at our in-office location to sign in-person
2. Meet with a notary over video chat to show ID and sign your documents.
After the session, you will mail the original documents to the address provided by your notary. Once received, the document will be notarized and sent to your recipient.
Acceptable forms of ID include the following photo IDs if valid and unexpired. Your state may have other allowable IDs or may exclude use of some items on this list, so always check:
U.S. State Issued Driver’s License
U.S. State Issued Photo ID
U.S. Passport Book
U.S. Passport Card
Certificate of US Citizenship
Certificate of Naturalization
Foreign Passport
Alien Registration Card with Photo
Military ID
This is not a comprehensive list.
Many transactions require more than just a notary and signer. If you’re signing a document that requires a witness, you’ll want to make sure you let us know before your appointment. Just complete the request form indicating how many witnesses are needed. Please note there is an additional fee per witness.
If your document must be signed by more than one person, you have three options:
You and your secondary co-signer can both visit us together in-office.
You and your secondary signer can be co-located (in the same physical location), log into the session with the notary together, on the same device, and your documents notarized.
If your document requires two or more signers and they’re not co-located, all signers must complete separate transactions. Each signer would request and appointment and upload an unsigned copy of his/her document. When complete, you will have separately notarized documents that you may then submit to your recipient agency or institution.
You are connected with a commissioned notary public via live audio-video call. The notary public confirms your identity visually using the scanned photo ID, and then witnesses as you sign the document. Just like a traditional notarization, the notary then signs and places their notarial seal on your document.

Marriage records issued by a Virginia Circuit Court (You must ask for a triple seal to be attached to your marriage record. It will be returned if there is no triple seal.)
