Remote Electronic Notarization

Remote Electronic Notarization in North Carolina allows a signer and a commissioned electronic notary to complete a notarization through secure audio‑video technology. The signer verifies their identity, shows the document on camera, and signs electronically while the notary watches in real time. The notary then applies their electronic seal and signature, and the entire session is recorded and stored according to state requirements. This process gives Charlotte residents a safe, convenient way to notarize documents without meeting in person.

In Person Electronic Notarization

In North Carolina, In‑Person Electronic Notarization (IPEN) allows a signer and a notary to meet face‑to‑face while completing the notarization electronically. The signer appears in person, verifies their identity, and signs the document on a secure electronic device. The notary witnesses the signing in real time and applies their electronic seal and signature using approved technology. IPEN gives Charlotte residents a fast, paperless notarization option while still requiring physical presence for added security.

Wet Ink / TWIN Signing

Wet‑ink, or “twin signing,” is the traditional notarization process where all parties sign physical paper documents using pen and ink. The signer appears in person, presents valid identification, and signs the document while the notary witnesses the signature. The notary then completes the notarization by applying their physical seal and handwritten signature. This method is required for documents that cannot be notarized electronically and remains the most widely accepted format for legal and real estate transactions.

Hybrid / PRIN

Hybrid, or PRIN (Print‑Sign‑Scan), signing combines electronic and traditional notarization methods. In North Carolina, this process allows most documents to be signed electronically while specific pages—such as notarization certificates or lender‑required forms—are printed and signed in wet ink. The signer completes the electronic portion online, then meets the notary in person to sign the required paper documents. The notary verifies identity, witnesses the wet‑ink signatures, and completes the physical notarial certificates. This approach speeds up the signing process while still meeting state and lender compliance requirements.

Real Estate Notarization

Real estate notarization ensures that property‑related documents are signed accurately, legally, and with verified identity. The notary confirms the signer’s identity, witnesses signatures, and completes the required notarial certificates for documents such as deeds, affidavits, loan packages, and closing forms. This process protects all parties by adding a layer of authenticity, preventing fraud, and ensuring the documents meet state and lender requirements.

Identity verification

Identity verification is the process of confirming that a signer is who they claim to be before a notarization. This may include reviewing government‑issued identification, asking knowledge‑based questions, or using secure digital tools to authenticate identity. The goal is to protect all parties by preventing fraud and ensuring that every notarized document is completed with verified, trustworthy information.

I-9 Certification

I‑9 certification is the process of verifying a new employee’s identity and authorization to work in the United States. As an authorized representative, the notary reviews the employee’s original identification documents, completes Section 2 of Form I‑9, and confirms that the documents appear genuine and relate to the employee. This service helps employers meet federal hiring requirements with accuracy and compliance.

Same-day notary service

Same‑day notary service provides fast, reliable notarization for urgent documents. A notary is available to verify identity, witness signatures, and complete required certificates on the same day the request is made. This service is ideal for time‑sensitive paperwork, ensuring documents are completed accurately and without delay.
