Document Requirements
Every document needs a "requirement" specified to tell Notarize what is required to consider a transaction complete. A good way to think about it is specifying the "type of document". Each requirement type implies a different set of authentication and signing requirements for the signer to complete the transaction.
| Requirement | Description | Knowledge-based Authentication (KBA) Required? | US SSN Required? | # Forms of ID Required | Notary Meeting Required? | Notary Seal Required? | Notary Signature Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
notarization | A document that requires notarization. | Yes | Yes | 1 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
esign | A document that requires just a signature. | No | No | 0 | No | No | No |
esign_authenticated | Identity Assured eSign. An eSign document that requires identity verification (cannot be combined with Notarization) | No | No | 0 | 2 | No | No |
identity_confirmation | A document that requires the signer to undergo identity confirmation instead of notarization. Used to support the signing of PS form 1583 for signers without a US SSN. | No | No | 2 | Yes | No | Yes |
