Require a Witness for Documents
The article explains how to require a witness for document signing by either having the signer bring their own physically present witness or using an On-Demand Witness from the Notarize Network during the meeting, detailing the process for adding witnesses, the signer's responsibility to meet state or document-specific witness requirements, and the steps to set witness requirements when preparing documents for notarization.
Introducing On-Demand Witness | Proof
Proof has introduced On-Demand Witness, a feature within its Notarize Network that allows trained notaries to instantly join digital notarization sessions as witnesses—streamlining the addition of witnesses for documents like trusts, wills, real estate closings, financial POAs, and healthcare directives, thereby eliminating delays and logistical challenges by enabling witnesses to be summoned with a click during meetings regardless of location or prior arrangement.
Witness Guidelines for Signers – Proof Help Center
The Proof Help Center's Witness Guidelines for Signers explain that witnesses, who are neutral third parties observing document signing, may be required based on the document or recipient's rules rather than notarial law, and signers can either use a remote witness via Proof's On-Demand Witness feature or bring their own in-person witness who meets criteria such as being over 18, having no interest in the transaction, and complying with document or state requirements, while noting that notaries should not act as witnesses except in specific eligible cases.
Upload a Document to Start a Notarization – Proof Help Center
The article explains how to upload a PDF or Word document via a web browser to connect with a live notary for remote notarization, detailing required items such as a U.S. SSN or ITIN, government-issued photo ID, U.S. address, email, and a device with audio/video, and provides step-by-step instructions for uploading, reviewing, and preparing the document for signing.
2025-09-02 Proof Release Notes
The 2025-09-02 Proof Release introduces a new requirement for witnesses in On-Demand and Identity-Verified Witnessing to mark signer credentials as Viewed before signing (NX-5843), enhancing witnessing structure, and fixes the notary mobile web experience by updating all pages, including the Proof Digital Certificate page, to display relevant information correctly (NX-5526).
Complete a Co-Located Signing – Proof Help Center
Co-located signing in Proof allows up to 10 participants—including at least one notary and one signer, with a maximum of two witnesses—to complete a transaction together on a single device, requiring each signer to verify their identity separately, with specific setup instructions depending on whether signers initiate the transaction or receive invitations from an organization, and detailed steps to start, select signers, review documents, and proceed with notarization.
