"unknown" means we couldn't find it on a public page. Prices are what each company lists for an individual's notarization; state law sets separate caps on what a notary may charge, and platforms may charge technology fees on top (for example, Florida's $25 cap excludes RON provider fees).

What it really costs: three common situations

Listed per-item prices add up differently depending on your document. Here is the arithmetic using each company's published add-on fees (before any state technology fees or taxes):

Service 1 signer, 1 seal 2 signers, 1 seal 1 signer, 3 seals
Notarize $25 $35 $55
NotaryCam $25 $35 $75 (priced per seal)
OneNotary $25 $35 $45
BlueNotary $25 $30 $41
NotaryLive $25 $30 $25 (no charge for extra seals)
OnlineNotary.net $19.95 $39.90 (per signer) $29.95

Calculated from the pricing pages cited in the table above (checked 2026-10-27). NotaryCam's three-seal figure assumes its "$25 per seal" price applies to each seal. NotaryCam also lists a $79 fee if a signer has no US SSN.2

Takeaway: if your document has several notarial certificates, a per-session price (NotaryLive) or a cheap extra-seal price (BlueNotary, OnlineNotary.net) matters more than the headline $25.

Will a document notarized online be accepted where I live?

Two separate questions decide this:

  1. Is the notary allowed to do it? Online notaries act under the law of the state that commissioned them. Texas law says its online notaries may notarize "regardless of whether the principal is physically located in this state",14 and Florida's statute says the same for Florida online notaries.15 Notarize says online notarizations are valid in every state, judged by the notary's commissioning state's law.1
  2. Will the recipient accept it? The bank, court, county recorder or agency receiving your document has the final say. Proof's own help center tells signers to ask the recipient first.13 Some states carve out exceptions; for example, Proof notes that Connecticut doesn't recognize online notarizations for real-estate transfer documents, and that Louisiana doesn't treat them as "authentic acts".1617

As of our last check, 42 of 51 jurisdictions let their own notaries perform RON, and a few are unclear or not yet in effect. See all 50 states + DC →

If you don't have a US Social Security number

Business and mortgage platforms (not for one-off documents)

DocVerify (state lists now show it as "Expedite, formerly DocVerify") and Clear Sign (Rocket Close, formerly Nexsys/Amrock) appear on many states' approved-platform lists,18 but they're tools for notaries, lenders and title companies rather than places where you can upload your own document and get a notary on demand. Clear Sign is built for mortgage signings,19 and DocVerify sells per-user licenses.20 We couldn't load docverify.com from our server when we checked, so treat its figures in the table as unverified.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to get a document notarized online?

For one signer and one notary seal, the on-demand services we checked list $19.95 (OnlineNotary.net) to $25 (Notarize, NotaryCam, OneNotary, BlueNotary, NotaryLive). Extra seals, signers and witnesses cost more; see the comparison table for each company's add-on fees.

Is an online notarization legally valid?

Providers say documents notarized online by a properly commissioned online notary are valid in every state, judged under the law of the notary's commissioning state. Whoever receives your document still decides whether to accept it, so ask them first. Proof's help center says the same.

Can I use an online notary if my state doesn't allow RON?

Usually, yes. Texas and Florida law both let their online notaries notarize for signers located anywhere. Your own state's rules and the receiving party still matter. Check your state on our state-by-state page.

What ID do I need for an online notarization?

Typically a physical, unexpired government photo ID (driver's license, state ID or passport) plus a knowledge-based quiz built from your credit history. Proof's KBA asks for the last 4 digits of your SSN or ITIN and needs about 6 months of US credit history.

Can an online notary give me an apostille?

No. Proof says it cannot issue apostilles and isn't the right tool for documents headed to a foreign embassy, and BlueNotary won't notarize foreign-embassy documents. Apostilles come from your state's secretary of state.
