Upload a Document in the Notarize Mobile App to Get Started

The Notarize mobile app allows users to upload documents for notarization on iOS by signing in and choosing from four methods—email attachment sharing, Dropbox integration, sharing from another app, or scanning a physical document with the phone’s camera—each with specific step-by-step instructions to complete the upload process.

The short answer: You can upload a document for notarization directly from the Notarize mobile app using email, cloud storage, sharing from another app, or your phone's camera.

This process is for individuals uploading a document for themselves who have not been sent a transaction from a business or real estate organization. If an organization sent you a document to sign, use the link in the email from them (or from noreply@proof.com) to complete the transaction.
