Virginia notarization considerations
Notarial acts performed in Virginia are governed by Virginia law. Points to confirm before a signing include acceptable signer identification, the required notarial certificate wording, journal requirements, permitted fees, whether remote online notarization is allowed, and any witness formalities for estate documents.
Confirm current requirements with the Virginia Secretary of State or notary commissioning authority and your own counsel. On Time Notary and its notaries do not provide legal advice.
