5 Documents You Didn’t Know You Could Get Notarized Online
Most people assume remote online notarization is reserved for big, serious, suit-and-tie moments like closing on a house or signing a stack of legal documents an inch thick. But here’s the truth: RON is way more versatile than that. If you’ve gotPo a document that needs a notary’s signature and seal, there’s a good chance you can handle it in your pajamas. Here are five documents you probably didn’t know you could get notarized online.
1. Power of Attorney
Yes, one of the most important legal documents you’ll ever sign can be handled entirely from the comfort of your home! A power of attorney — whether it’s financial, medical, or durable — no longer requires coordinating schedules, driving across town, or sitting in a waiting room. Book a quick online appointment, hop on a video call, and you’re done. Your future self will thank you.
2. Affidavits
Need to make a sworn written statement but really don’t want to make it a whole thing? You don’t have to. Affidavits of all kinds — personal affidavits, affidavits of heirship, supporting documents for legal matters — can all be notarized online. Handle it on your lunch break and still have time to enjoy your meal.
3. Loan Documents
Plot twist — you can close on a loan from your living room. Refinancing your home, securing a personal loan, or finalizing a home equity agreement no longer means a trip to the bank or a title company. Remote online notarization has changed the game for loan signings, and the documents are just as legally valid as anything signed across a conference table.
4. Estate Planning Documents
Estate planning is usually one of those things that lives permanently on the to-do list, but what if you could knock it out without leaving home? Wills, living wills, advance directives, and healthcare proxies can all be notarized online. Consider this your sign to finally check it off the list.
5. Travel Consent Letters for Minors
This one catches people off guard every time. If your child is traveling internationally without both parents, many countries require a notarized travel consent letter. It’s also one of those things people remember at 10pm the night before the trip. Good news, Hill View Notary is available 24 hours. Crisis averted!
The list of documents that qualify for remote online notarization is longer than most people think, and it keeps growing. If you’ve got something that needs a notary, there’s a solid chance you can skip the trip and get it done from wherever you are.
