John M. Holder

Attorney/Notary/Tax Expert

I bring over 30 years of professional legal experience to the online notary space. As Kentucky’s first commissioned online notary, I help clients save time and avoid travel through secure remote notarization. After seeing countless people struggle to find notary services that fit their schedule, I founded Kentucky Online Notary to make the process simple and convenient for busy professionals. Licensed in Kentucky as a practicing attorney, I specialize in real estate closings, apostilles, and legal document notarization.

Common Questions About Online Notarization

What is online notarization, and how does it work?

Online notarization, also known as remote online notarization (RON), is a process where a notary public notarizes documents electronically via a secure online platform. During the session, I will verify your identity using government-issued ID, record the session for security, and electronically stamp the document to make it official. This entire process is conducted via live video conferencing, so you can complete it from anywhere in the world (conceivably even outer space!) with an internet connection.
What types of documents can be notarized online?
Almost any document that requires notarization can be notarized online. This includes:

Real estate documents (e.g., deeds, mortgages, refinances)

Powers of attorney

Affidavits and legal documents

Trusts, powers of attorney and living wills (subject to state laws)

Business contracts and bank forms

If you’re unsure whether your document qualifies, feel free to contact me for clarification.
What are the benefits of online notarization?
Online notarization offers several advantages, such as:

Convenience: Complete the notarization process from the comfort of your home or office.

Accessibility: Ideal for individuals in remote areas or those with mobility challenges.

Efficiency: Save time by avoiding travel or scheduling delays.

Security: Digital notarizations include tamper-evident seals and video recordings for added peace of mind.
Is online notarization legal in Kentucky and other states?

Yes, online notarization is fully legal in Kentucky under KRS Chapter 423 and regulated by the Kentucky Secretary of State. Additionally, documents notarized online in Kentucky are generally recognized in other states, thanks to reciprocity laws and federal legislation like the Interstate Recognition of Notarizations Act. You’ll always want to confirm with the receiving party to make sure they accept online notarizations.
What do I need to prepare for an online notarization session?
To help you prepare for your session, we’ve created a Remote Notarization Readiness Checklist, which outlines everything you’ll need for a smooth and successful experience. This checklist includes:

Document Preparation: Ensure your document is complete, legible, and in PDF format but not signed before the session.

Technology Requirements: A computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, and an updated browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari).

Identity Verification: A valid, government-issued photo ID that matches the name on the document.

Session Setup: A quiet, well-lit space and 30 minutes set aside for the notarization.

What remote online notarization platform do you use?

I primarily use Secured Signing, a secure and trusted platform that provides a seamless and efficient remote online notarization experience for my clients. Secured Signing ensures compliance with legal standards while offering user-friendly features like digital signing and document management.

In addition, I am certified by the Kentucky Secretary of State to use the NexSys/Clear Sign platform, which is specifically designed for real estate closings with Amrock. This certification allows me to handle complex real estate transactions while meeting the highest standards of compliance and professionalism.

Whether you’re looking for general notarization services or specialized assistance with real estate closings, I have the tools and expertise to meet your needs.
