Online Notary in Colorado

Online Notary in Colorado is also known as:

Is Online Notary legal in Colorado?
Yes, Colorado is an Online Notary state. The signing of Senate Bill 20-096 implemented the permanent legalization of online notarization as of December 31, 2020.
The bill amends Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-21-506 and 514.5 to accept remote online notarization as a valid form of acknowledgment for real estate documents, deeds, bonds, and agreements. The permittance of online notarization is supported by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, which recognizes an e-signature as a legal form of signing a document.
With laws in place, like Colo. Rev. Stat. § 24-21-511 and the Full Faith and Credit Clause, a notary performed in one state is considered valid in another. Therefore, citizens of Colorado can utilize online notaries from all over the country.
