Getting Started (Client)

1. Create your account

1. Go to www.notariseit.com and click Sign Up.
2. Enter your first name, last name, email address, and a secure password.
   • Password must be at least 8 characters and include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a special character.
3. Check your email for a 6-digit verification code and enter it on the verification screen.
4. You're in — your free Access account is ready.

Faster: sign up with Google or Facebook

Individual clients can also register with a single click using Continue with Google or Continue with Facebook on the Sign Up page.

• Because the provider has already verified your email, you skip the 6-digit verification step and go straight in.
• Your name and profile picture are pulled from the provider to pre-fill your profile — you can change them later under Account → Profile.

Faster sign-up

Signing up with Google or Facebook skips email verification. This option is for individual clients only — notary and business accounts still register with email and password.

Don't see the Google or Facebook buttons?

Social sign-in can be turned off by the platform admin (for example, in test environments). If the buttons aren't shown, just sign up with your email and password as above.

Browse first, sign up later

You can search for notaries and view their availability calendars before creating an account. You only need to sign up when you're ready to book.

2. Complete your profile

After signing in for the first time, we recommend completing your profile:

1. Go to Account → Profile.
2. Add your phone number and address.
3. Upload a profile photo (optional but helpful for identity confirmation during sessions).

Accuracy of your information

The details you provide — including your name and contact information — form part of the official notarisation record and may be relied upon in court proceedings, regulatory inquiries, or document verification. Keep them accurate and up to date. Your name as it appears on your account will be printed on your notarial certificate, so ensure it matches your legal name before your session.

3. Verify your identity

Identity verification (KYC) is required to participate in a notarisation session. The notary must be satisfied as to your identity before admitting you — this is a legal obligation under the Notary Public Act 2023. Complete verification before your session to avoid delays.

In exceptional circumstances — such as a temporary verification provider outage — a notary may exercise their professional discretion to admit you without a completed KYC check and verify your identity manually on camera instead. However, this is at the notary's sole discretion and cannot be requested or assumed.

See Identity Verification to complete this step.

4. Find a notary

1. From the homepage or your dashboard, click Find a Notary.
2. Search by document type (e.g. affidavit, power of attorney), state, or language.
3. Browse notary profiles, check their fees, available times, and client ratings.
4. Click a slot to begin the booking flow.

AI assistant on the Find a Notary page

Not sure where to start? The virtual assistant (chat icon, bottom-right) is available on the homepage and the Find a Notary page — no login needed. Ask it questions like "What is a power of attorney?" or "How much does notarisation cost?" to get plain-language answers before you book.

5. Book and pay

Once you've chosen a notary and time slot, follow the Booking a Session guide to upload your documents, confirm the fee, and pay.

You will receive a booking confirmation email with session details.

6. Attend your session

At the scheduled time, join the session from your dashboard or the link in your confirmation email. See Your Notarisation Session for what to expect.
