Getting Started (Client)

1. Create your account

Sign-up runs as a short three-step wizard.

1. Go to www.notariseit.com and click Sign Up.
2. Basic Info — choose your account type (Individual Client or Notary Public), then enter your first name, middle name if you have one, last name, email address and a password.
   • Password must be at least 12 characters and include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and a special character.
3. Contact — your phone number and address (street, city, state, postcode and country). These are required, not optional: they form part of the notarisation record.
4. Confirmation — review what you entered and accept the Terms of Service.
5. Check your email for a 6-digit verification code and enter it on the verification screen.
6. Verification takes you to the sign-in page. Sign in with the email and password you just chose — then enter the 6-digit login code emailed to you. Every sign-in asks for one; see How signing in works. Your free Access account is then 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 Profile Settings → Personal Information.

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.

Social sign-in is not switched on yet

The Continue with Google and Continue with Facebook buttons appear on the sign-up and sign-in pages, but the feature is not live. Register with your email and password as above; this page will be updated when social sign-in launches.

Browse first, sign up later

You can search notaries and open their profiles before creating an account — the public Find a Notary page is open to everyone. Availability calendars and booking need an account: Book Now sends you to sign-in.

2. Complete your profile

Your phone number and address were captured during sign-up. What is left is optional:

1. Click your name in the top-right corner and choose Profile Settings, then open the Personal Information card.
2. Check your contact details are still current, and correct anything that has changed.
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 Notaries 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 click Find a Notary, or from your dashboard click Find Notaries in the sidebar.

2. Narrow the list using the filters at the top of the page:

   • Search by notary name or organisation
   • Specialisation — the notary's declared practice areas
   • Minimum rating

3. Browse notary profiles, check their available times, document types and client ratings.

4. Click a slot to begin the booking flow.

   Fees are not shown on a profile — every notary prices their own work and per-page documents are priced by length, so a single figure would be wrong for most bookings. You see the exact fee for your documents at the Review step, before you pay anything.

Check the commission state on the profile page

Open a notary's full profile before booking and check the Commissioned in line. Under s.6(1) of the Notaries Public Act 2023, where you and your notary are located affects how your notarisation is certified. The profile page is the authoritative place to read this.

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.
