ELECTRONIC / REMOTE ONLINE NOTARISATION

Are you looking to save time and eliminate travel with our online notary service? Depending on the type of notarisation needed, remote electronic notarisation of certain documents is often possible.

Can a Notary Public Notarise a Document Online?

Yes, remote or online electronic notarisation can effectively verify the authenticity of documents. At White Horse Notaries, we conduct digital notarisations in compliance with the internationally recognised eIDAS Regulation standard for “Qualified Electronic Signatures.” This qualified electronic signature holds the same legal validity as a traditional handwritten signature. Documents suitable for remote electronic notarisation may include:
This list is not exhaustive; many other documents can also be notarized online. Feel free to contact us with any specific inquiries, and we’ll be glad to help.

What is the Process for Using Remote Electronic Notarisation?

Some documents may require you to email us scans, such as photographic ID and a signed letter authorizing us to verify the document with the issuer. We can guide you on what is needed to ensure effective remote electronic notarization.

When is Online Notarisation Not Possible?

Online notarization is not an option for documents requiring an on-site signature. These documents necessitate the signer’s presence with photographic ID to sign in front of the notary.
We often receive inquiries about identifying and witnessing signatures via video call. However, our regulatory guidelines indicate that this should not be done, as certain checks must be performed in person. Moreover, English law currently prohibits the formal taking of oaths or witnessing deeds or other documents unless we are physically present with the client.

How Do You Notarise a Document Online?

A notary public can authenticate a document online. You may need to send us a scanned copy of the document along with your photographic ID, or you may need to connect via video or voice call. We will clarify all requirements and associated costs.

Can a Notary Public Notarise from Another Country?

While we are based in London, White Horse Notaries provides a truly international service. Many of our clients are located overseas and do not need to visit our office. If you are abroad and need a document notarised, we can manage this without requiring a face-to-face appointment in London.
Whether you are an individual living abroad or setting up a business internationally, our online remote electronic notarisation service can save you time and money.

Can Apostille or Consular Legalisation Be Done Online or Remotely?

After your document has been notarised online, we can arrange for it to be E-Apostilled and/or legalized remotely, regardless of your location. Additional documents may be required based on consulate guidelines, but these can typically be scanned and emailed or mailed to us.
For information on costs, timelines, and additional requirements related to E-Apostille and/or consular legalisation, please reach out to us.
