Online signing & Notarization fee
The online signing and notarization process is a legally mandated step that ensures your divorce documents are finalized in compliance with state law. Once both the petitioner and the respondent have approved the drafted documents, they must be officially signed and notarized to become legally valid. This process is completed entirely online through a secure platform, which includes built-in identity verification and recording of the session. The notary involved is a licensed professional who verifies your identity using your government-issued ID and ensures that you understand and willingly sign the documents.
The fee associated with this service — currently $176 in total or $88 per spouse — covers the cost of using the secure notary platform, the notary's service, system maintenance, identity verification software, and official document certification. It also ensures compliance with court requirements and avoids the risks and costs of incorrect or incomplete notarization. Online notarization is not just convenient; it also significantly lowers the chance of having to repeat the process due to mistakes often made during in-person notarizations.
This fee is separate from the initial document preparation cost.
