If you’re outside the United States and need a document notarized by a U.S. notary, an international online notary may be the fastest and most reliable solution. Remote Online Notarization (RON) allows you to connect with a U.S.-commissioned notary by secure video session—no embassy visit, no travel, and no delays. No U.S. address or social security number is required.
Our platform performs more international online notarizations than any other U.S.-based remote online notary provider, helping individuals, families, and businesses worldwide complete time-sensitive U.S. transactions.
What Is an International Online Notary?
An international online notary is a U.S.-commissioned remote online notary who is legally authorized to notarize documents over live audio-video technology, even when the signer is physically located outside the United States.
Your notarization can usually be completed online—regardless of where you are in the world–as long as:
- The notary is commissioned in a RON-authorized U.S. state, and
- The document relates to a U.S. legal matter or transaction.
Who Uses International Online Notarization?
International online notarization is commonly used by:
- U.S. citizens living or working abroad
- Foreign nationals signing documents for U.S. matters
- Expat families handling estate or financial documents
- International business owners and investors
- Parents completing U.S. passport or consent forms
- Buyers and sellers involved in U.S. real estate transactions
If your document must be notarized under U.S. law, an online notary is often a better option than a consulate appointment.
No U.S. Social Security Number or Address Required
One of the most common misconceptions is that you must have a U.S. Social Security number, U.S. address, or U.S. credit history to use an online notary.
That is not the case.
Our identity verification process uses:
- Government-issued photo ID (passport or national ID)
- Biometric identity analysis
- Secure credential validation
- Live notary supervision
This process allows international signers to complete notarizations legally and securely—without U.S.-specific personal data.

We regularly notarize documents such as:
- Power of Attorney (POA)

Apostille & International Use: Please Contact Us First
We can notarize documents that will later receive an apostille, but apostille acceptance depends on state-specific rules and the destination country.
Because apostille requirements vary:
- By U.S. state
- By document type
- By receiving country
👉 We require international clients to contact our support team before scheduling if an apostille is needed.
This ensures:
- The notarization is performed in the correct state
- The document format meets apostille requirements
- You avoid costly rejections or delays
Planning ahead is critical when documents will be used internationally.
