A document needs to be notarized to make sure it’s authentic and trustworthy. When a notary public stamps a document, it means they’ve checked the signer’s ID, made sure they’re signing it willingly, and confirmed they understand what they’re signing. This extra step helps prevent fraud and makes the document more likely to be accepted by banks, courts, and other institutions.

A mobile notary service means the notary comes to you! Instead of going to an office, you can meet at your home, workplace, a coffee shop, or another convenient location. It’s a flexible option that saves you time and makes getting your documents notarized much easier—especially if you have a busy schedule or can’t travel easily.

An online notary service allows you to get documents notarized from anywhere using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Instead of meeting in person, you connect with a commissioned notary through a secure, live video call. During the session, you’ll be asked to verify your identity—usually by uploading a photo of your ID and answering a few security questions. Once verified, you’ll review and sign your document electronically while the notary watches in real time. The notary will then add their digital seal and signature to complete the notarization.
Online notarizations are legally recognized in many states and are accepted for most types of documents, though it’s always best to confirm that the recipient will accept an electronically notarized document. Appointments can often be scheduled within minutes, making this a fast and flexible option when you’re on a tight deadline or need something notarized outside of normal business hours.

Yes! Tennessee allows online notary services, which means you can get your documents notarized without leaving your home. Through a secure video call, a commissioned Tennessee notary can verify your identity, watch you sign your document electronically, and apply a digital notarial seal—all in real time.

To use online notarization in Tennessee, you’ll need:

• A valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport)

• U.S. citizenship or legal residency

• A reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone (like a phone, tablet, or computer)

• The ability to answer identity verification questions, if required

While the notary must be physically located in Tennessee during the notarization, you can be located anywhere in the U.S. or even abroad at the time of your signing. Online notarizations performed in Tennessee are legally valid and widely accepted—but it’s always smart to double-check that the person or organization receiving the document accepts e-notarizations.

Most documents that can be notarized in person can also be notarized online. This includes a wide range of personal, legal, and financial documents such as:

• Real estate documents (deeds, refinancing paperwork, closing packages)

• Power of attorney

• Wills and trusts (though some attorneys may still prefer in-person notarization—check with yours)

• Divorce papers

• Affidavits and sworn statements

• Parental consent forms

• Employment forms and contracts

• Business agreements

• Identity verification forms (like I-9s for remote employees*)

• School and medical authorization forms

• Premarital and Postmarital
•  

Just make sure the receiving party—like a court, bank, or government agency—accepts documents that are notarized online. Most do, but it’s always best to confirm in advance.

*Note: Some documents, like I-9 forms, may have specific rules that limit online notarization unless you’re acting as an authorized representative. Always verify before proceeding.

While many documents can be notarized online, there are a few exceptions under Tennessee law or due to how certain institutions operate. Documents that typically cannot be notarized online include:

• Certified copies of vital records, such as birth, death, or marriage certificates (you must request these from the issuing government agency)

• Court-issued documents that require in-person verification or filing

• Documents intended for countries that don’t accept electronic notarizations

• Some estate planning documents, like wills or living wills, may still require in-person notarization depending on your attorney’s or court’s preferences

Always check with the receiving party—such as a court, bank, or government agency—before choosing online notarization to make sure it will be accepted.

Notary cost depends on the type of service you need. In Tennessee, the standard fee is typically around $15 per notarized signature. If you choose a mobile notary (where I come to you) or an online notarization (done over a secure video call), there may be a small additional fee for travel or technology.
