How to check a notary's credentials

Snapdocs encourages notaries to upload many different types of credentials to ensure they are qualified to perform the signings offered on our platform.

Notaries that are Snapdocs Verified are guaranteed to have a valid notary commission, bond (if applicable), background check report, E&O insurance policy, and a verified ID, as well as any other documents you have specified in your Verified Preferences.

We also provide space for them to upload additional documentation if they choose, such as:

  • W-9

  • Bar Card (for Attorneys)
