What kind of document is it?

The notarial act

If you are not sure, the party who asked for the notarization will have told you which of these they need.

AcknowledgmentYou confirm to the notary that the signature on the document is yours and that you signed it willingly. The notary does not read or vouch for the contents. Usual for deeds, powers of attorney, and property records.JuratYou swear or affirm that the contents of the document are true, and sign it in front of the notary. Usual for affidavits and sworn statements.Oath or affirmationThe notary administers a spoken oath or affirmation and records that it was given. There is no separate signed statement.

Jurisdiction and timing

State the act is performed under

The notary must hold a commission in this state. It also determines how long the session recording is retained.

Preferred time (optional)

A preference, not a booking — a notary claims the order from a queue. Times are read as UTC in this demonstration.

Your details

Your name and address as they should appear in the notarial record. Identity documents are never collected or stored by this system — the identity check happens later, at an approved provider, and only its outcome is kept.

Submitting creates the order and takes you to payment. Nothing is charged until you complete checkout, which runs in test mode.

Downstream

What happens after you submit

01
Payment
The price is shown and taken before identity verification begins. Checkout runs through Stripe in test mode — no real card is charged and no real money moves.
02
Identity verification
Your ID is examined, then you answer questions drawn from your own record — both simulated in this demonstration. There is a limited number of attempts per order, and a check that does not pass is a recorded outcome for the order rather than an error.
03
The session
A notary claims the order from a queue and meets you in a recorded session. How long the recording is kept is determined by the state you chose above. The identity checks, the session, and the seal all take place at a state-approved notarization platform, with Fairmount’s own commissioned notary performing the act — this system arranges the work and holds the record of it.
04
Sealing and release
The act is recorded in the electronic journal and the document is sealed. Your documents become downloadable when the order is released — the step after completion, not at completion itself.

Guide

Reference for the section you are filling in. It follows you down the form.

The document
One PDF per order. It is read and checked on submission — type, page count, size — so a file that cannot be used is refused here rather than after you have paid. A password-protected PDF cannot be opened; remove the protection first.

The notarial act
The act decides what the notary certifies and what goes in the journal entry, so it cannot be changed later without cancelling the order. Nothing is pre-selected on purpose — a default would put the wrong act in the record on every order where nobody looked.
Recorded in the journal · not editable after the session
Jurisdiction and timing
The state decides two things: which commissioned notary may perform the act, and how long the session recording is retained. A preferred time is a preference — a notary claims the order from a queue rather than accepting a booking.

Your details
Your name and address as they should appear in the notarial record. No identity document is collected on this screen. Identity proofing happens later, at the approved notarization provider, and only its outcome comes back here — which method was used, whether it passed, which attempt it was, and when.
No ID images and no knowledge-based (KBA) answers are ever held here
After you submit
Submitting creates the order, allocates its reference, and takes you to payment. You return to the order at any point through the link this form hands you — there is no account and no password to lose.
