How the process works

The procedure is carried out entirely online and consists of five steps. First, the user uploads the document they need notarised in PDF, Word, or image format; if they don't have a document, they can use the template editor created with the company's lawyers, who review it before the session. The entire pre-session process takes less than 30 minutes and requires no printing or travel.

Next, identity verification is carried out via a biometric check using a passport or driving licence. Liveness detection confirms that it is the real person and complies with AML and KYC standards; this step takes less than two minutes.

The user then connects to a secure video call with a commissioned notary. The notary reviews the document, confirms identity, and applies a Qualified Electronic Signature, legally equivalent to a handwritten signature. Once the session ends, the notarised document is delivered instantly by email as a certified PDF. If a physical copy is needed, the company can send it to the user or directly to a third party anywhere in the world. The document is legally notarised and ready for use, accepted by embassies and institutions in more than 180 countries. The user can start a new request at any time from their dashboard.

International recognition and security

MyNotary's seals are recognised in more than 180 countries. The company emphasises that its documents are designed to withstand judicial scrutiny and are accepted by courts, administrations, embassies, and other institutions. The service applies a Qualified Electronic Signature during the video session, which gives the document the same legal validity as a handwritten signature. Identity verification complies with AML and KYC standards.
