Notarize from anywhere — without compromising what matters

Not long ago, getting a document notarized meant clearing your schedule, finding a notary near you, and showing up in person — often at a time that was convenient for the notary, not for you. For anyone managing a real estate closing, an estate plan, or an urgent legal matter from outside the country, that single requirement could hold up everything else.

Remote online notarization changes that equation entirely. Your session happens on your schedule, from wherever you are — your home, your office, a hotel room in Dubai. The notarization is legally valid, permanently recorded, and delivered without a single in-person appointment.

For clients who live or work abroad

If you're an American living outside the US, you already know how complicated US document requirements can get. A will that needs to be executed. A power of attorney for a property back home. A trust amendment while you're on a two-year assignment in Singapore.

The traditional answer was an embassy appointment — weeks out, limited availability, and a trip that may or may not fit your schedule. Remote online notarization with EDN means you book a session that works for your time zone, appear via secure video, and walk away with a fully executed, legally valid document. No embassy. No flight home. No waiting.

For estate planning clients

Executing a will or living trust is already a significant undertaking. Coordinating the right moment — when you're ready, when your attorney is available, when you can arrange witnesses and a notary in the same room — adds friction to something that often gets delayed as a result.

With remote online notarization, you complete the session from home, on a timeline that fits your life rather than your calendar's availability. Your attorney handles the coordination. You show up to a video call. The document is executed, sealed, and done.

For clients managing estate matters across multiple states or countries, EDN's Washington State commission and worldwide RON reach means you're not looking for a different provider every time a new jurisdiction is involved.

For real estate transactions

Real estate closings are deadline-driven. When a signing needs to happen and a party is in another city — or another country — the traditional in-person model creates risk. A delayed notarization can push a closing, cost a buyer their rate lock, or unwind a transaction that took months to assemble.

Remote closings through EDN happen on the timeline the transaction requires, not the timeline local notary availability allows. Buyers, sellers, and their counsel connect via secure video session. Documents are executed and sealed in real time. The closing stays on track.

For luxury transactions involving foreign nationals or clients who are simply not in the same city as the property, this isn't a convenience — it's what makes the deal possible.

What the experience actually looks like

A remote notarization session with EDN takes less time than most in-person appointments. You receive a link, join a secure video call, present your ID, review and sign your documents on screen, and receive the notarized result. Gieselia Baker — EDN's commissioned notary with over 20 years of experience in real estate, aviation, and international transactions — conducts every session personally.

The session is recorded, the notarization is sealed, and the record is permanently verifiable. Your document stays with you. Nothing is retained on our end after the session closes.

The result is an experience that fits into your day rather than disrupting it — which, for clients with complex documents and limited patience for unnecessary friction, is exactly the point.

Ready when you are

Whether you're finalizing an estate plan, closing a real estate transaction from overseas, or handling a time-sensitive legal document from wherever you happen to be — EDN is available on your schedule.
