What is In-Person-Electronic-Notarization (IPEN)?

-

Weston Mobile Notary Long Beach CA 90807
Just like it sounds, in-person-electronic-notarization or IPEN, is a notarization that is performed in
person, but instead of an ink stamp, the notary uses her tablet or laptop to access her electronic stamp. The electronic stamp with the notary's required stamp information is provided by a provider authorized by the Secretary of State, and an authorized secure online platform is utilized to complete the notarization.

In most cases IPEN is used during a loan signing transaction, and the majority of the non-notarized real estate documents are electronically signed, sometimes before the notary signing agent arrives. This process streamlines the signing, cuts down on the amount of paper used, and less time is needed to complete the signing.

The signer must still appear before the notary and proper government issued identification is still required to be presented to the notary. The in-person-electronic-notarization is recorded in the notary journal just like an inked notarization. If a right thumbprint is required for the notarization, then that too is printed in the notary journal.
