What I Cannot Notarize Online

By law or recipient rule

Texas home-equity loans (HELOC) & some home-improvement loans on a homestead – must be signed in person at an authorized office (lender, attorney, title).
Certified copies of recordable documents (birth/death/marriage certificates, court records).
Documents where your recipient does not accept RON (certain real-estate packages, some court filings, some consulates/foreign documents).
I-9 Forms

Situational limits

Incomplete documents or directions that conflict with RON
Documents in a language I cannot read
Signers without acceptable ID, unable to appear/communicate on video, or unable to pass verification
Requests for legal advice (I can’t choose wording or tell you which form to use)

Tip: If your bank/agency/court has special instructions, send them before booking. I’ll confirm what’s allowed and advise the best next step.

Not Sure If Yours Qualifies?

Text or email a quick description (no sensitive data), or book and add a note. I’ll verify whether your document can be done online and what, if any, add-ons you’ll need (extra stamp, witness, etc.).
