Good news: with Atlas Notary, you can notarize and apostille your documents 100% online, with processing and shipping within 2 business days. Whether you’re handling legal paperwork, international business, adoption forms, or academic records, we make the process smooth, secure, and fast.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the online notarization and apostille process in the U.S., and explain how Atlas Notary can save you time, stress, and travel.
What Is Online Notarization?
Online notarization (also called remote online notarization or RON) allows you to get documents notarized via live video call with a state-commissioned notary public. This process is legally recognized in most U.S. states and is valid for many domestic and international purposes.
You simply:
- Upload your document.
- Verify your identity through secure online tools.
- Meet with a notary via video call.
- Download your notarized document immediately after.
At Atlas Notary, we connect you with licensed U.S. notaries through secure, state-approved platforms. The best part? You don’t need to be in the U.S.—U.S. citizens and foreign nationals abroad can also use our service legally and easily.
What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate issued by the U.S. Department of State or a Secretary of State that authenticates the seal and signature of a notarized document, making it legally valid in over 100 countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
You typically need an apostille for:
- Power of attorney
- Marriage or birth certificates
- Academic transcripts
- Adoption documents
- Business contracts
- Visa or immigration paperwork
Getting an apostille traditionally requires mailing original notarized documents to a government office, which can take weeks—especially from overseas.
