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

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

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

Frequently asked

Washingtonians have asked these questions

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

Is online notarization actually legal in Washington?
Yes. Washington authorized Remote Online Notarization with ESHB 1797, effective October 1, 2020. The relevant statute is RCW 42.45.010–.901. A document notarized online by a Washington-commissioned online notary has the same legal effect as an in-person notarization.
Do I need to be physically located in Washington?
No — you do not need to be in Washington. The notary must be physically located in Washington at the time of the act, but you (the signer) can be anywhere in the world. This is a defining feature of 42.45.280.
What kind of ID do I need?
A current government-issued photo ID: Washington 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 Washington?
Most Washington documents can be notarized online. A few narrow exceptions apply — testamentary documents follow specific Washington 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?
$25 per notarial act. The Washington maximum statutory fee for an online notarization is $25 per signature (RCW 42.45.060). 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 Washington county recorder accept an online notarization?
Yes. A notarization by a Washington-commissioned online notary is recorded in their state-registered electronic journal and carries the notary's state-issued electronic seal and certificate. Washington county recorders are required to accept it for recording the same as an in-person notarization.
