Proof
Proof, formerly Notarize, is a remote online notarization and identity verification platform. Documents are notarized by video, sent for signature, and tied to a verified signer, then sealed so the record cannot later be repudiated. Bringing real estate closings online is one of the uses the company names for the platform.
The platform is sold on self-serve plans and enterprise contracts. The Pro plan is $0 per month plus transaction fees, Pro+ is $199 per month plus transaction fees, and Enterprise pricing is custom with volume discounts. Transaction fees are charged per meeting: a Notarize Network meeting costs $25 on the entry plan and falls to $10 on the highest tier, while a meeting run by a company's own in-house notary costs less. Enterprise adds notary management and fulfilment, a command centre with SSO and SCIM, and fraud monitoring.
Notarizations completed through the platform are accepted in all 50 states, and audit logs are kept for every transaction. The company says the first online notarization and the first home closing completed entirely virtually both happened on its platform. Its legal and public policy team works with state legislatures, governors' offices, and Secretaries of State on remote online notarization rules. Web content targets WCAG 2.1 AA and the signer experience has a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template.
The corporate entity is Notarize, Inc. dba Proof.com. The company states that it is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Buyers should confirm current per-transaction rates and how their own county recorder handles remotely notarized deeds before committing a closing to the platform.
