Yes, pajamas are officially office-appropriate.
Illinois has modernized the way important documents are notarized. With Remote Online and Electronic Notarization now available, individuals and businesses can complete eligible notarizations online without leaving home or the office.
No traffic. No waiting rooms. No unnecessary delays.
Just secure, professional service that fits into real life.
When Paperwork Meets Real Life
Notarization doesn’t happen during “free time.”
It shows up while people are managing businesses, caring for family members, closing deals, handling legal paperwork, and juggling daily responsibilities.
Remote notarization removes unnecessary barriers. Instead of coordinating in-person appointments, clients can meet with a commissioned notary virtually, verify their identity securely, and complete the signing in real time.
Convenience matters. Accuracy matters more.
Understanding Remote Online Notarization in Illinois
Remote Online Notarization allows clients to meet with a commissioned Electronic Notary through secure live video technology. During the session, identity is verified digitally, documents are signed electronically, and the notarial seal is applied in real time.
For these sessions, the notary must be physically located in Illinois. Depending on document eligibility and platform requirements, signers may be located in or outside the state.
This modernization effort was launched under Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias and places Illinois alongside most states offering secure electronic notarization options.
