As a notary public, my job is to ensure that the signers of important documents are who they say they are, and that they are not signing under duress or coercion.

A notary public serves to witness the signing of documents and to verify the identity of the signers.

Yes, Iron Hoof Notary can notarize documents for out-of-state transactions as long as the signing occurs in our state.

Iron Hoof Notary can notarize a wide range of documents including contracts, wills, deeds, and powers of attorney.

Nearly every document can be notarized on this platform. However, certain documents are restricted, including marriage certificates and documents intended for use outside of the United States.

Online notarization allows a person to appear before a commissioned notary public in real-time using audio/video technology. A document notarized online is as legally valid as one notarized via traditional paper-based notarization.

The documents below cannot be notarized on the Proof platform or by IronHoof Notary Services, LLC.

• Documents intended for use outside of the United States, including documents that are being submitted to a foreign embassy.
• Certified copies of certain official documents: Many states prohibit their notaries from certifying court-issued documents or copies of birth, marriage, or death certificates.
• Marriage certificates: IronHoof notaries cannot remotely perform marriage ceremonies. 
• Documents that appear tampered with: Notaries may suspect fraud or other illegal activity when asked to notarize documents that appear to have been tampered with (cross-outs, white-outs, cut and paste, etc.). Notaries hold the right to refuse to notarize these documents.
• Documents in which the notary is named or has a beneficial interest: States generally prohibit notaries from notarizing these documents.
