Online notary for military families
Orders move you on short notice, and the paperwork back home doesn't wait: a power of attorney so a spouse can handle the lease, a vehicle form, an affidavit for a school or a bank. You can sign it on a video call from your quarters or off-post housing, anywhere in the U.S.

Documents people in your spot often sign online
- A power of attorney before a deployment or move. So a spouse or parent can handle the bank, the car or the lease while you're away, when the bank or office accepts an electronic notarization.
- Leases and landlord forms. A lease, a lease termination notice or a landlord's form that asks for a notarized signature.
- Vehicle forms that aren't the paper title. A bill of sale or vehicle power of attorney for a car you're selling or shipping. A paper title still needs ink.
- Residency and school affidavits. Sworn statements a school district or state office asks for when you move.
- Child travel consent letters. When one parent is deployed and the other travels with the children.
Not everything can be done on a screen. New Jersey's remote notarization law leaves out wills and codicils, and a paper car title is signed in ink on the original. See documents that can't be notarized online.
Before you book
- Check your base legal office first. Installation legal assistance offices often notarize for free for service members and families; an online session is for when you can't get there or need it now.
- Your ID. Have a current driver's license or passport ready for the identity check. If a military ID is the only ID you have, ask us before you book.
- Overseas is different. New Jersey allows signers outside the U.S. only under specific conditions; use the abroad check before you book from an overseas duty station.
- Ask the recipient. Banks, landlords and motor vehicle offices decide what they accept; ask before you book.
How a session works
- Book an online session and upload your document, filled in except for the signatures.
- At the appointment, join the video call from your phone, tablet or computer.
- Pass the identity check with your ID, and answer the notary's questions.
- Sign on screen; the notary completes the certificate and the session is recorded as the law requires.
- Download the notarized PDF and send it where it's going.
A commissioned New Jersey notary works from New Jersey, and New Jersey law lets the signer be anywhere in the United States (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10, P.L.2021, c.179). Signers outside the U.S. are allowed only under specific conditions; use the abroad check first.
What it costs
$50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm.
Questions
Can I get a power of attorney notarized online before I deploy?
Yes, from anywhere in the U.S., when the bank or office that will use it accepts an electronic notarization. Ask them first; we notarize and don't draft or explain the document.
Isn't the base legal office free?
Often, yes, for service members and families. If you can get an appointment there in time, use it. An online session is for when you can't.
Can I use my military ID?
Have a current driver's license or passport ready. If a military ID is your only ID, ask us before you book.
Can my spouse and I sign together from different places?
Yes. Each joins from their own device; book for the number of signers.
What does it cost?
The price is shown on this page from our current settings and again in the booking form before you confirm.
