Has anyone used an online meeting platform to do remote notarizations? MD SOS has the following guidance for RONs:
The list of vendors found below provide communication technology specifically designed to perform remote notarizations. The list is not intended to be an all-inclusive or comprehensive list, nor is it an endorsement of any vendor, nor is it any particular order. • DocVerify • LenderClose • Notarize • NotaryCam • Pavaso April 10, 2020 • Safedocs • SIGNiX • World Wide Notary Other platforms that are not specifically designed for remote notarizations that notaries may choose to consider include: • Go To Meeting • Microsoft Team • Google Meet • Skype
I have not paid to join a platform like Notarize, although I did purchase an electronic seal in April. I have had zero calls to do any remote closings. I did some training through Mortgage Connect's platform SimplySecureSign in the spring, but never heard another word about it. I recently got a call for remote GNW and I would consider doing it through Skype but I am not sure of any liability issues. It's not really a money maker so I am not willing to take a personal risk to do it. |
