What is Notarize?
There are 1.25 billion notarizations a year in the US alone. Home purchase, designation of beneficiaries, medical authorization for minors, powers of attorney, vehicle certification of ownership, notarizations power life’s most important transactions. At Notarize we’re leveraging industry best practices, to make these transactions easy, secure, and available. Above all Notarize is the platform that customers can trust. It is why Notarize is the industry leader in Online Notarization. 
It is why we were able to grow over 600% the last year, raise $160M in series D funding from investors like Capitol G (Google), Citi, and Wells Fargo, why Forbes named us to their next billion dollar startup list.
