To support the Code of Virginia, the Secretary of the Commonwealth has launched an initiative to enable enotarizations in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In order for an existing Notary to become an eNotary, the notary must acquire a digital certificate to use for digital signing and to register with the State of Virginia’s Secretary’s office. IdenTrust Services, LLC provides commissioned Virginia Notary Publics with digital certificates that meet the standards for the signature.
Be sure to pay particular attention to the format in which you should supply your full name so that it matches your notary commission.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your digital certificate (digital signature) application is completed using the exact name listed on your notary commission.
