How to Notarize Documents Online with PPM Notary: A Step-by-Step Guide

Navigating the online notarization process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. At PPM Notary Services, we use the state-approved Blue Notary platform to make notarizations quick, secure, and stress-free. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you through the process.

Step 1: Check Your Email and Get Started

Once your session is scheduled, you’ll receive an email from Blue Notary. This email contains:

A "Get Started" button to begin the process.
Information about what you’ll need and how the process works.
A time estimate (usually about 15 minutes, depending on your notarization type).

Pro Tip: Sign on a few minutes early to ensure your microphone and audio are working properly and to address any last-minute questions.

Step 2: Begin Identity Verification

Click "Get Started" in the email to begin your ID verification process. Here’s what to expect:

Personal Information: Fill out your name and details, then click Next.
Residential Address: Enter your address and click Continue.
Knowledge-Based Questions: Answer a series of questions unique to you. These are time-sensitive, and you’ll have limited attempts.

Step 3: Upload Your ID

You’ll need to upload a valid government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, state ID, or passport. Blue Notary gives you two options:

Take a photo of your ID directly.
Upload a saved copy from your device.

Need to use your phone? Select "Continue on another device" to receive a link via text. This makes it easy to snap a photo of your ID and complete the upload process.

Step 4: Take a Selfie for ID Verification

To finalize identity verification, you'll be prompted to scan your face in real-time. This ensures that the ID belongs to you.

Once your verification is complete, you’ll automatically enter your online session.

Step 5: Meet Your Notary and Complete the Signing

In the online session, you’ll be greeted by your notary. Here’s what will happen:

The notary will guide you through signing the document electronically.
If you haven’t uploaded your document, you can do so during the session. However, we recommend sending your document to the notary ahead of time for review and pre-tagging to ensure a smooth process.
