Obtain a Traditional Notarial Commission
Your traditional commission allows you to perform in-person notarizations. To obtain your traditional commission, follow these instructions from the Secretary of State. After obtaining your commission, you must provide information about and upload a copy of it to your profile.
Obtain a Certificate of Authorization from the State
You must upload your state provided Certificate of Authorization into your Proof notary profile during onboarding. Proof cannot generate an electronic seal for you until we have received and validated the Certificate of Authorization.
Obtain E&O Insurance Policy
While E&O insurance is highly recommended, it is only required for notaries working in an on-demand capacity. Notaries serving their own customers or in-house notaries may optionally upload their E&O insurance.
Generate a Digital Certificate in the Proof Platform
A digital certificate is an electronic credential that is used to digitally tamper seal notarized documents. Do not purchase it from another vendor as it will be provisioned after you verify your identity through an IAL2-Compliant Identity Verification on the Proof platform.
Proof Certificate pricing varies, but special promotional discounts are available into 2025.
Important: Make sure the name in your notary profile is identical to the name on your commission documentation. Differences between your profile name and the one in your documentation could delay issuance of your digital certificate.
Please note: Be prepared to provide a government-issued primary ID, a supplemental (secondary) ID, and a selfie to complete the IAL2-Compliant Identity Verification to obtain your digital certificate.
Generate an Electronic Signature and Notarial Seal in the Proof Platform
Your electronic signature and seal are used to sign and seal notarized documents. Do not purchase them from other vendors as they will both be freely provided to you by the Proof platform.
The information that you provide during onboarding will be used to automatically generate a seal that complies with the particular legal requirements of your state.
You will also create your signature during onboarding and are responsible to make sure that it matches your name as commissioned and your signature on file with the Secretary of State.
