Online Notary in Georgia

Online Notary, also known as remote online notarization, is a virtual service that provides notarization for legal documents for Georgia residents and anyone else in the United States.

Using LawDepot’s Online Notary service is like visiting a traditional notary, except you use your device’s camera and microphone to connect with them. It’s a secure, easy, and accessible way to notarize your legal documents from work or home.

Online Notary is also known as a:

Does Georgia legally recognize online notarization?

Yes, Georgia legally recognizes documents notarized through online services in other states. This is possible because the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution allows notarization from one state to be legal in another. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act also supports online notarization, recognizing online signatures as a legal form of signing documents.

What are Georgia’s Online Notary laws?

Though Georgia accepts documents notarized from online services, it doesn’t permit Georgia-commissioned notaries to perform online notarization after suspending the temporary executive order in April 2022. 

The Georgia Code recognizes documents notarized outside of Georgia through GA Code § 9-10-113, 44-2-17, 44-2-21, 44-14-34,& 44-14-62, allowing Georgian residents to utilize online services.

How much does online notarization cost in Georgia?

With LawDepot’s Online Notary service, it’s just $25 for the first seal and $10 for each additional seal. Georgians can save on travel time and get documents notarized from work or home in just a matter of minutes.

Documents Georgians cannot notarize with LawDepot’s Online Notary

Just like an in-person notary, documents that are considered vital documents can’t be notarized online.  Vital documents are government documentation that includes personal information about a person’s life events. Notary publics cannot verify if a copy of a vital document is true to the original. Only the government agency that issues vital documents can issue certified copies.

LawDepot cannot notarize copy certification, also known as certified copies. Furthermore, LawDepot doesn’t notarize the following documents:
