Yes, online notarization is legal in Montana.

Montana authorized Remote Online Notarization with HB 370, effective October 1, 2015. A document notarized online by a Montana-commissioned notary has the same legal effect as one notarized in person — and is accepted by Montana county clerks, banks, title companies, and the courts.

HB 370 (2015) MCA §1-5-603 UETA compliant
"If a notarial act relates to a statement made in or a signature executed on a record, the individual making the statement or executing the signature shall appear physically before the notarial officer or by communication technology as authorized in 1-5-615 and rules adopted pursuant to 1-5-628."

Closed on our Billings home from the hospital. The title company sent the docs over and 12 minutes later we had a sealed Warranty Deed in their inbox. Cannot imagine doing this any other way.

Run a small LLC out of Missoula and used to drive far for notary work. Did three corporate resolutions last Sunday at midnight. The notary knew Montana formation docs cold.

Needed a Statutory Durable POA for my mom in Bozeman while I'm stationed overseas. We connected on video, walked through it page by page. Patient and kind notary.

Frequently asked

Montanans have asked these questions

The answers below are specific to Montana law. If your situation is more complex, contact us — we're here to help.

Is online notarization actually legal in Montana?
Yes. Montana authorized Remote Online Notarization with HB 370, effective October 1, 2015. The relevant statute is §§1-5-602 to 1-5-630. A document notarized online by a Montana-commissioned online notary has the same legal effect as an in-person notarization.
Do I need to be physically located in Montana?
No — you do not need to be in Montana. The notary must be physically located in Montana at the time of the act, but you (the signer) can be anywhere in the world. This is a defining feature of §1-5-603.
What kind of ID do I need?
A current government-issued photo ID: Montana driver's license or state ID, U.S. passport, or military ID. The statute requires "satisfactory evidence" of identity; we meet this through credential analysis (ID scan) plus knowledge-based authentication (KBA) pulled from public records.
Are there documents that cannot be notarized online in Montana?
Most Montana documents can be notarized online. A few narrow exceptions apply — testamentary documents follow specific Montana procedures, and some federal immigration forms (e.g., I-9 employment verification when performed by the employer's agent) require specific procedures.
How much does a notarization cost?
$10 per notarial act. The Montana maximum statutory fee for an online notarization is $10 per signature (§1-5-628). Our price matches the statutory max — never higher — with no subscription, no "platform fee," and no per-seal upcharge.
Do you offer pricing discounts for multiple documents?
Yes. The state caps the per-act fee, but our platform supports notarizing multiple documents in a single session, and we offer volume and business pricing. See the full fee schedule for details.
Will a Montana county recorder accept an online notarization?
Yes. A notarization by a Montana-commissioned online notary is recorded in their state-registered electronic journal and carries the notary's state-issued electronic seal and certificate. Montana county recorders are required to accept it for recording the same as an in-person notarization.
