No longer do your clients have to deal with scheduling conflicts that increase turn times. Upload any document and perform real-time transactions with your clients from an end-to-end secure web-based software. Allow Remote Online Notarization to work for you and put time and money back in your pocket.
ProNotary is a fully managed solution that allows the signer to appear before the notary over a live audio-video feed when executing digital documents. Remote Online Notarization is a new technology-driven process that does not require any software installation nor additional browser plugins on behalf of the user.
The entire Remote Online Notarization process can be broken down into four simple steps:
Step 1 is identity verification that requires all signing parties to pass knowledge-based authentication prior to a system performed credential ID test. A user's ID can consist of a driver's license, a government issued photo ID or passport.
Step 2 is the actual audio-video conference where the notary and signer meet virtually to talk to each other over a webcam in real-time. During this step the notary will observe all necessary digital signatures by the signer and will apply appropriate notarial certificates and seals to the digital document(s).
Step 3 is tamper proofing the executed digital documents with a date/time-stamp digital certificate. This certificate will identify whether any of the documents are altered in the future.
Step 4 is the audit trail and notarial records that are required to be kept to prove who actually digitally signed the document(s).

Remote Online Notarization is a notarial act performed by an online notary by means of two-way video and audio conference technology that meets the standards adopted by the Secretary of State for such actions including credential analysis and identity proofing.
Many people confuse electronic notarization with remote notarization, believing they are the same. They are not.
Electronic notarization, or eNotarization, involves documents that are notarized in electronic form, and the Notary and document signer sign with an electronic signature. But all other elements of a traditional, paper notarization apply to electronic notarization, including the requirement for the signer to physically appear before the Notary.
The confusion arises from the fact that remote notarizations typically involve digital documents that are signed and notarized electronically. However they go a step further in that the transaction is conducted online rather than in person.

Knowledge based authentication, also known as KBA, is a type of authentication which looks to prove that the person providing identity information truly is that exact person. As its name suggests, KBA is based on some sort of knowledge the individual has. Knowledge based authentication continues to get more sophisticated in order to keep information and access in the right hands.
There are three different forms of KBA – static, dynamic and enhanced KBA.
Static KBA methods allow users to select security questions and provide answers that are stored by a company and accessed later, usually when a password needs to be retrieved or reset. Dynamic KBA, on the other hand, goes a step further by generating questions that apply only to the intended end user and do not require a previous relationship with the customer. These types of questions have also been called “out-of-wallet” as the content is generated from information within a person’s credit history or public records. Therefore, the answers could not be found in a wallet or purse, making it difficult for anyone other than the actual person to know the answer.
Enhanced dynamic KBA goes even further by using your proprietary data collected that is stored behind your firewall to create custom security questions for your customers. This gives you a complete end-to-end authentication solution so you can verify new and existing customers online.
Credential ID Analysis is a process by which the validity of a government-issued identification is affirmed by a third party through review of public and proprietary data sources.
An electronic seal consists of information within a notarized electronic document that confirms the online notary public's name, jurisdiction, notary ID, and commission expiration date. It generally corresponds to information in notary seals used on paper documents.
A digital certificate is a computer-based record or electronic file issued to an online notary public for the purpose of creating an official electronic signature.cing built around your requirements.
All notary publics who use the Pro Notary platform are required to have an IGC Notaries | Basic Assurance | Individual Identity | Software Storage certificate which is used to digitally sign each notarized document. Once a digital signature is applied, the electronic document is encrypted and sealed to protect against tampering, to allow individuals to authenticate themselves as a notary and to provide non-repudiation for relying parties.
ProNotary has partnered with IdenTrust to provide the necessary digital certificate.
Please contact our sales team for custom pricing built around your requirements.
ProNotary can accommodate multiple signers, from any combination of locations domestically within the USA or international as long as all signing parties can meet the minimum system requirements.
