Online notary rules by state

Is online notarization legal in Connecticut?

The short answer

In transition. You can still get notarized online for most documents.

Connecticut's rules for remote notarization by its own notaries are limited. Connecticut residents can use an online notary commissioned in a state with an active program for most documents, and properly performed out-of-state notarizations are generally recognized.

Before you book

Connecticut real estate closings are handled by attorneys and generally can't be notarized remotely. For other documents, check with the recipient before you book.
