"Stripe" for Online Notarizations - OneNotary - Raised $1.75M Seed Money

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Stripe" for Online Notarizations, OneNotary, has raised $1.75M to build an online notary infrastructure that enables Remote Online Notarization (RON) in any SaaS solution within hours and helps keep customers inside their existing working tools.

A seamless, no-code integration platform, along with a fleet of over 10,000 notaries spread across the United States, makes OneNotary a world-class notary solution. The software is designed for businesses seeking a simple and seamless integration to speed up document execution.

Fundraising
OneNotary, a leader in online notarizations and infrastructure development, has raised $1.75 million in Seed Round Capital Funding. Primary investors include: The Legal Tech Fund, GoodPaper Venture, Adventures Lab VC, TMT Investments, Digital Future VC and U.Ventures.

The company plans to use the funds to scale the platform for use in all fifty states as well as provide artificial intelligence (AI) tools to notaries that speed up document preparation and autonomously verify document errors. Additionally, OneNotary will aggressively market to increase education and awareness about remote online notarization around the world.

Status quo in the notary space
99% of the US population currently notarizes the bulk of their documents using traditional processes. On average, more than one billion notarizations are needed each year in the United States; despite the challenges and changes that COVID-19 brought about, less than 1% of notarizations are executed online. The adoption rate of Remote Online Notarizations has been impeded by at least two (2) fundamental issues:

#1 Legislation - State Regulated Notary Laws
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, only a few states passed permanent laws which allowed for Remote Online Notarization. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an additional 39 states passed emergency legislation allowing Remote Online Notarization. Currently, only 11 United States remain without permanent RON laws. Those with permanent laws still face compliance challenges at the county level as they continue to educate and adopt these new state laws. The industry estimates that by end of 2022 there will be full compliance and adoption of RON, as online platforms are proving to be more secure with audio/video recording, signer ID verification and tamper-proof digitally sealed documents.

#2 High Industry Segmentation
Notarial acts have always been a staple in our lives, from real estate and automobile transactions to the education and estate planning sectors. A notarial act is often needed for each industry and state; however, the notary has always been confined to their commissioning state. Each commissioning state sets its own standard for the notary to follow. For instance, a signatory that wants to execute a document may require two or three witnesses and a notary public or just a notary public. In other cases, a signatory may require a Spanish, French or German-speaking notary. Whatever the case, Remote Online Notarization solves it. The OneNotary platform handles the complexity of individual requests with ease whereas a traditional notary may not be able to accommodate such requests instantly. Traditional approaches to online notarization may cause additional delays in document execution while the signatory searches for an appropriate notary. OneNotary's army of over 10,000 notaries is capable of covering any sophisticated notary request from any industry.
