Proof Solutions Overview
Proof offers a comprehensive platform featuring centralized management via Command Center, fraud detection through Proof Defend, and specialized real estate solutions including automated state-specific notarization, online and hybrid closings, title agency collaboration with software integrations, and a collaboration tool called Collab to streamline secure, identity-verified transactions and document sharing.
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 title documents to a Collab closing – Proof Help Center
When invited to a Collab closing by a lender using the Proof platform, organizations receive an email prompting them to upload and tag title documents—such as underwriter info and file numbers—via a secure transaction interface where certain fields are editable, after which notifications are automatically sent to the lender, signer, and contacts to proceed with the closing process.
Estate Planning with Proof: Remote Execution for Estate Documents
Proof is a technology platform enabling remote electronic execution of estate planning documents like wills and powers of attorney, but it is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and requires users to consult their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with varying state laws and document types before using its e-signature and remote online notarization services.
Proof Release Notes: May 4, 2026 (DEPLOY-1308)

What's New at Proof in April 2026
In April 2026, Proof launched several speed and efficiency-focused updates including a redesigned, streamlined transaction creation form with integrated eligibility checks, prebuilt Transaction Templates for Business Pro and Pro+ users to simplify workflow setup, and new copy/paste shortcuts for document tagging across multiple portals to accelerate transaction processing.
