Can a document be signed by multiple people online?

We have a document that requires 14 signatures to be notarized on the same physical document. It will be very difficult to physically meet with all 14 for them to sign the document in person. Is there a way to accomplish this online?C. C., New Mexico

Yes, the document may be notarized online for all signers if the RON platform allows for that number of signers to appear in the same online meeting at once. The signers may also appear at different times with the same or different Notaries. Keep in mind that each new notarization would require an additional notarial certificate naming only those signers present for that particular notarization.

For more information about remote online notarization in other states, please see our RON resources page.

Hotline answers are based on the laws in the state where the question originated and may not reflect the laws of other states. If in doubt, always refer to your own state statutes. – The Editors

Am trying to get a notorized document stating my daughter is to be my son's primary caretaker/guardian. He wanted to move in with his father but there has yet to be any communication from him. He does not want to leave Florida and my daughter said he can stay with her. It really is a lot associated with the situation that I just dont want to run into any problems raising up later. I was wondering what all needs to done for this as I am in NC.

Hello. We're sorry, but those are legal questions that you would need answered by an authorized attorney.

Thank you. You can enter as many names that can legibly fit in one certificate. If you run out of room, then you can attach another certificate. Florida requires for the Notary to enter how the signer was identified, so this information would have to included for each signer too.

Multiple persons signatures can be notarized on the same certificate or each person needs their own certificate? Example 5 people sign that means 5 stamps on one certificate, or is it 5 people all on one certificate and one stamp for all five signatures?
