South Carolina questions, answered

Is online notarization legal in South Carolina?

South Carolina authorizes electronic notarization only with the signer physically present (S.C. Code Ann. § 26-2-40), and does not currently recognize remote online notarizations (§ 26-3-20). We will not sell an online notarization that South Carolina won't honor. We can help arrange e-signing and shipping, and a mobile notary may be an option for the notarization itself.

What are my options in South Carolina?

We can still handle legally binding e-signatures (ESIGN/UETA) and print-and-ship services for South Carolina documents. For the notarization itself, an in-person or mobile notary is currently the reliable path — and if South Carolina law changes, this page will say so the day it does.

What does an online notarization cost?

Online notarization starts at $49 — that includes the live notary session, identity verification, and the first notarial seal. Extra seals are $19, extra signers $25, and an on-demand witness is $39. Every fee is itemized before you pay, and the notary fee is passed through at cost — never marked up by document type.

What documents can South Carolina signers notarize online?

Powers of attorney, affidavits, real-estate documents, vehicle titles, travel consents, business agreements, and most other documents, subject to your state's document rules. We check your exact state and document type before checkout, and we never fail silently.
