How to get a prenuptial agreement notarized online

Who signs, and which notarial act

Both partners. Each joins from their own device, anywhere in the U.S. Attorneys can watch the session if you want them to.

An acknowledgment from each partner: each confirms the signature is theirs and that they signed willingly.

Ask the recipient first

Only the person or office receiving the prenuptial agreement can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask:

• Each partner's attorney: should the agreement be acknowledged before a notary, and is an electronic notarization fine?
• Is everything final, including the financial disclosures attached to it?
• Do you want to be present on the call?
• Should each partner keep an electronic original, or will one of you hold it?

Timing and advice matter more than the seal. Agreements signed in a rush right before the wedding, or without each partner understanding them, invite challenges later. Whether each of you should have your own attorney is a legal question. The notary confirms identity and willingness to sign, and doesn't review the terms.

Doing it online, step by step

1. Finish the agreement early. With disclosures attached, well before the wedding.
2. Ask your attorneys. Confirm an electronic notarization suits them, and whether they'll join.
3. Book for two signers. Each partner on their own device.
4. Sign on video. Each shows ID, confirms they're signing willingly, and signs; the notary completes the certificates.
5. Keep the originals safe. Store the notarized PDF where you'll find it years from now.

Mistakes that stop the session

Signing the week of the wedding. Leave time; a rushed signing can be questioned later.

Missing disclosures. If schedules are attached, make sure they're in the file before the session.

One partner pressured. A notary who sees signs of pressure may stop the session.

Expecting legal review. We don't review or explain the agreement.

What it costs

$50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. For the usual 2 signers on a prenuptial agreement, that is $60 for the session. If a witness is needed, a video witness can be added in the booking form at $40 each.

Open 7 am to 9 pm ET, every day, by appointment. Have a current photo ID, a device with a camera, and the unsigned PDF.

Signing from outside the U.S.? New Jersey allows it only when the document is for a U.S. court, agency or other U.S. entity, involves property in the U.S., or relates to a transaction substantially connected with the U.S., and signing isn't prohibited where you are (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10). Check your document.
