Pay for a Transaction – Proof Help Center
After notarization, you can access your documents anytime by logging into your Proof account, with payment required unless covered by the initiating organization; payment can be made immediately after the transaction or later via credit card (including American Express with front CVC) or Google Pay, and for multi-signer sessions, the final signer pays to release documents to all parties.
Once your notarization is complete, you can access your documents at any time by logging into your Proof account. If an organization initiated your transaction, they may already be covering the cost—in that case, no payment is needed. For sessions with multiple signers, the final signer handles any required fees so the documents are released to everyone involved at once.
Please note that documents are only accessible once payment is confirmed (unless pre-paid by your organization). Proof currently accepts Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
Pay Immediately After a Transaction
After you submit payment, you'll receive your document(s) and a payment receipt via email.
Credit Card
- Enter your credit card information, then select Submit Payment.
- American Express CVC codes are the 4 digits found on the front of the card.
- If you've paid for a transaction previously, you'll have the option to use the same card. Select Update Card to enter a new one.
Google Pay
- Select Buy with G Pay.
- Sign in to your Google account, choose the card you'd like to use, and confirm payment.

Summary Checklist
- Pay with a credit card or Google Pay immediately after your meeting, or return to your account to pay later.
- Your documents are released to you once payment is received.
- If an organization sent you the transaction, they may pay on your behalf — you won't be prompted for payment in that case.
