For notarizing a domestic affidavit online in Michigan and Ohio, both states have provisions for online notarization, also known as remote online notarization (RON). Here's how you can proceed:
- Michigan (§ 55.286b)
Michigan allows remote notarization through online platforms that are authorized by the state. To notarize your document remotely, you will need to use a platform that supports online notarization, such as Notarize, DocuSign, or others approved by Michigan’s Secretary of State. You will need to prove your identity and sign the document in the presence of the notary, who will verify it through video conference.
- Ohio (§ 147.64)
Ohio also permits remote online notarization, and the process is similar to Michigan's. You can use an authorized online notary service to complete your notarization. The notary will verify your identity using security questions or a form of ID, and you’ll sign the document electronically during a live video session.
For both states, it's important to make sure the platform you're using is officially authorized and follows the specific rules set by the state, such as identity verification and proper record-keeping of the notarization.
