We https://www.docverify.co m"> https://www.docverify.com as an E-Notary/E-Signature provider have been very active in promoting our products or services, but there is only so much we can do as a provider or other providers can do to help take this great technology get to the next level.
We feel that we are in a vicious cycle when it comes to e-notarizations. Businesses not only want to save time and money, but they do want to go completely paperless. We do get asked all the time about e-notarizations by different businesses, but they shy away from it because there aren't enough notaries doing it in their states. On the other hand, we have found that notaries shy away from e-notarizations for two reasons. One, without naming names, a prior association tried pushing their technology to notaries that was both confusing and expensive. Two, they don't want to become an E-Notary because there aren't enough requests or businesses requesting it.
Basically, in a nutshell we have a stalemate, businesses don't do it because there aren't enough notaries doing it, and notaries don't want to offer it because there aren't enough businesses requesting it. This cycle needs to be broken if everyone is to capitalize in this evolving industry.
We feel that it wouldn't hurt to mention to your clients that if they're in a state that allows e-notarizations that they can e-notarize their documents by educating them about electronic notarizations. The fact is that they may want to do it, but are unaware that they can or they're unaware that there is technology out there to enable to do it. Even if they don't want it right then and there, you've done your job by planting it in their minds, and when they're ready to do it, guess who they're going to call first. You! So, lets all do our part and help spread the word.
Perhaps you should provide a free demo, as you do for unnotarized documents. Of course, it would have to be altered to make it clear it is a demo and not a real notarization. I suspect that both potential signers and potential notaries would be interested in the nitty-gritty details. For example, one of the programs of that other company you mentioned didn't work for states that don't assign commission numbers.
I think providing notary services online is the way to go in our advanced technological world. But I think it would help ease more people into accepting and using this service online if you could offer a demo here at https://www.notary.net
I agree with you, and think that everything is becoming digitized, and so too should notary, and if there were some demos that could show the ease of use and the benefits of the service it would really help ease a lot more people into it. This is an excellent idea. 🙂

We do have a short online demo which demonstrates how one would add a new notary document and then notarizes it, and you can watch it at anytime directly from DocVerify without having to purchase anything. As an added bonus, you will also be able to add yourself to our notary directory at no cost either.
