Online Notary for Massachusetts — Notarize From Home
Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Cambridge, Lowell or the Cape — notarize everyday documents on live video without hunting for a notary during business hours.
Is online notarization legal in Massachusetts?
Yes, with some care for real estate. Massachusetts enacted a remote online notarization law in Chapter 2 of the Acts of 2023, with the Secretary of the Commonwealth responsible for the implementing regulations.
Massachusetts signers can also use online notaries commissioned in other states that allow remote notarization. Massachusetts recognizes notarial acts performed by notaries of other states, though its statutes don't yet spell out recognition of remote online notarizations specifically.
Real estate in Massachusetts is closed by attorneys, and registries of deeds have their own rules about remotely notarized documents. For any deed or mortgage document, check with your closing attorney before notarizing online.
