Online Notary for Georgia — What You Can Notarize From Home
Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus or Macon — Georgians can notarize many documents on live video today. Georgia has some important exceptions, though, and this page spells them out so you don't waste a session.
Is online notarization legal in Georgia?
Partly. Georgia has not passed its own remote online notarization law, so notaries commissioned in Georgia must still notarize in person.
Georgians can still notarize many documents online by using a notary commissioned in a state that allows remote online notarization. Georgia recognizes notarial acts performed by notaries of other states.
The big exceptions are real estate and vehicle transfers. Georgia is an attorney-closing state and hasn't adopted rules accepting remote online notarization for those transactions, so plan on an in-person notary for Georgia deeds, real estate closings and vehicle title transfers.

Before you start: Georgia checklist
- Don't use online notarization for Georgia real estate deeds, closing documents or vehicle title transfers — use an in-person notary (and, for real estate, your closing attorney).
- For everything else, ask the receiving office whether it accepts a notarization performed online by an out-of-state notary.
- Have a valid, unexpired government photo ID and a device with a camera.
