Online notary rules by state

Is online notarization legal in Georgia?

The short answer

Not yet for Georgia notaries, but you can still get notarized online.

Georgia-commissioned notaries can't currently perform remote online notarizations. Georgia residents can still use an online notary commissioned in a state that allows it, and properly performed out-of-state notarizations are generally recognized.

Before you book
