Common questions about Virtual Witnessing

How does it work?

Our remote online notary service is convenient, secure and online. It is as simple as 1-2-3. All you need to do is upload or email us your document(s), pick a convenient time and date, and pay. Once your appointment is booked, you will receive a confirmation email with all essential details and your notary will soon contact you.

What is virtual witnessing?

Virtual witnessing allows your Notary Pro and a second witness to watch you physically sign your documents while on a video call. After booking your appointment, please print a copy of your Last Will and/or Power of Attorney. Grab a pen and your ID, and then join the Zoom video call at the scheduled time.

I signed my Will. Now what do I do?

Ontario law currently requires physical “wet” signatures on the original document. After you physically sign your Will, Notary Pro and the additional witness will physically sign their counterpart copy. Once signed, Notary Pro will mail or courier the signed witness copy of the Will back to you. Keep and store both the original and the signed witness copies.

Your security comes first.

Our team is continuously working to improve our product security and harden our software from attack against hackers. All video calls use encrypted passwords and our digital signature platform includes chain of custody record keeping to protect the integrity of your document. Your documents are backed-up, stored securely, and password-protected.
