Notarize a Power of Attorney Online, From Any State

A power of attorney is one of the most common documents people need notarized in a hurry, and one of the most common reasons they cannot get to a notary: the person signing is traveling, has moved, or simply cannot take a day off to sit in a bank lobby. For eligible signers anywhere in the United States, Jason Dicken can notarize a power of attorney by secure video from Indiana.

Can a Power of Attorney Be Notarized Online?

In many cases, yes. The person granting the power (the principal) appears on video, verifies identity, signs electronically, and Jason completes the notarial certificate with an electronic seal. The agent being appointed usually does not need to attend.

Two things decide whether online works for your power of attorney. First, the document's own signing rules: some financial and healthcare powers of attorney call for witnesses in addition to the notary, and whether witnesses can take part remotely depends on the document and the rules that apply to it. Second, the recipient: a bank, brokerage, hospital, or government office can have its own policy on electronically notarized documents. Jason checks both with you before anything is scheduled.

What to Check Before You Book

• Read the signature page. If it lists witness lines, tell us when you request the appointment.
• Ask whoever will rely on the document (bank, care facility, agency, title company) whether they accept a remotely notarized PDF or need a paper original.
• If the power of attorney covers real estate and will be recorded, ask the county recorder or your title company first. Recording rules for electronic documents vary by county.
• The principal must be the one on camera, with a valid government photo ID, able to understand what they are signing and willing to sign it. A family member cannot sign for them.
• Do not sign in advance. The signature happens live, on video.

Our guide on whether your state or recipient will accept an Indiana online notarization walks through the questions to ask.

Common Situations We Handle

• A parent in one state naming an adult child in another to handle finances or paperwork
• Someone relocating or deployed who needs a spouse or relative to act for them
• A limited power of attorney for a single transaction, such as a vehicle sale or a closing the signer cannot attend
• Business owners authorizing a partner or manager to sign on the company's behalf
• Healthcare powers of attorney and directives, once the document's witness rules and the facility's policy are confirmed

If the principal is in a hospital or care facility in Southern Indiana and cannot easily join a video session, a mobile power of attorney visit is often the better fit.

Pricing

$35 for the first notarized signature and $10 for each additional notarized signature in the same session, with no travel fee. Payment is handled through Proof as part of the session. If two principals sign the same power of attorney, that is one first signature plus one additional.

General information from a notary public, not legal advice. Whether a document can be notarized online is confirmed before every appointment; whether the recipient accepts it is their decision.
