Systems and methods for remotely witnessing and electronically notarizing a legal instrument

Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods of facilitating remote notarization of electronic instruments and storing records memorializing these notarization events. A notarization system provider may capture video feeds from different angles, and combine the feeds into a single archive multimedia file, which may be stored as a secured record of a notarization. The notarization system may be utilized as an alternative to a conventional notarization settings involving a notary, in-person. The notarization system provider may supply a signing party with an electronic instrument, which could be any instrument requiring notarization to be effective. Parties signing the document may go to a system provider's location or representatives could bring the requisite devices to the signing parties. Cameras generate video feeds of the notary, the notary, and any witnesses, and then forward the feeds to other devices in the system, allowing each party to observe the signing party sign the instrument.
