Before performing remote online notarization, confirm your Delaware commission status and any state prerequisites. Follow Delaware's official instructions for application, renewal, and recordkeeping obligations.
Delaware publishes explicit technology provider requirements for remote notarization systems. Your platform should satisfy these standards before you begin remote notarizations.
Prepare your e-signature, e-seal/stamp, journal workflow, and secure document handling process. Confirm that your tools support identity-proofing and long-term recording retention as required.
Submit all required details and forms requested by Delaware for remote notarization activity. Keep copies of submissions and approvals in your compliance records.
