Notarize Review: Is It The Right Electronic Signature Software For Your Team?

Notarize is a remote notarization platform that handles electronic documents and signatures on desktop and mobile. Before shortlisting, verify that your state allows remote online notarization (RON)—Notarize operates in 48 states plus DC, but coverage varies by document type.

Check whether your use case requires a specific notary type (e. g.

, corporate vs. individual) and confirm Notarize's notary network includes that specialty in your region.

The platform's core strength is speed: most notarizations complete within hours. However, some users report delays when notaries are unavailable during off-peak times.

In your demo, test the document upload process with your actual file types and ask about retry policies if a notarization fails. Pricing is per-transaction (typically $25–$50 depending on document complexity), so calculate total cost for high-volume use before committing.

Integration requirements are minimal—Notarize works through a web interface and API. If you need embedding in your existing workflow, confirm API availability and response times with the sales team.

The platform does not integrate directly with most document management systems, so you'll handle uploads manually or via API calls. Ask about audit trail exports and whether records meet your compliance requirements (especially if you're in a regulated industry like finance or real estate).
