Customer Alert - Online Notarization Services Are Illegal In Californa

Online webcam notarization is invalid and illegal in the State of California, according to a formal statement by California Secretary of State Debra Bowen. "California law requires a person to appear personally before a Notary Public to obtain notarial acts like acknowledgments or jurats," Bowen said in the message posted on her Web site February 24, 2011. "This means the party must be physically present before the Notary Public." Bowen went on to say that video images or other forms of non-physical representation do not meet personal appearance requirements before a Notary under current state or federal laws.
