What ID Do I Need for Online Notarization?

To complete a Remote Online Notarization, you will need a valid, government-issued photo ID that can be used to verify your identity.

What Forms of ID Can I Use for Online Notarization?

Commonly accepted forms of identification include a driver's license, state-issued ID, U.S. passport, or foreign passport. Your identification should clearly show your name, photograph, and other identifying information required for verification.

In addition to showing your ID during the online notary session, you will complete a secure identity verification process before meeting with the notary. This helps confirm that the person appearing before the notary is the person identified in the document.

If you are located outside the United States, a passport may be used for identity verification, making Remote Online Notarization an option for many international signers who need a New York notary.
