How do I sign my document?
Do not sign your document before you upload it to NotaryCam. We use electronic signing (e-signing) technology that requires no additional hardware on your end, just your keyboard. When you are in session with a notary, you will e-sign by typing your name onto the document. We embed a number of security features into the document to protect the validity of your signature. The legal validity of e-signatures is well established by the ESIGN Act of 2000 and UETA.
