On-Demand Witness, sometimes shortened to ODW, is a Proof platform feature that allows notaries to summon other notaries from the Notarize Network to join their Remote Online Notarization (RON) meetings and serve as witnesses.
On-Demand Witness simplifies the process by providing easy and immediate access to a reliable network of witnesses, relieving the burden on signers to provide their own witnesses.
Who this is for
This content is for all users who will join or have already completed a meeting.
On-demand witnesses are available for documents requiring a notarization to be witnessed.
Examples include but are not limited to:
- Trusts & wills
- Real estate closings in Florida
- Financial power of attorney
- Advanced healthcare directive
During a meeting where an on-demand witness has been called by a notary, the witness joins the meeting, performs their duties, and then exits the meeting.
Senders can specify the need for witness signatures and their locations in a document before sending it to a signer. However, if the need for a witness signature is overlooked during document creation, our platform provides tools to seamlessly add witness signatures during a notary meeting. This ensures a smooth experience for all parties and ensures the document is completed accurately.
ℹ️ A total of ten (10) devices can connect to a meeting. One must be a notary and one must be a signer; the rest can be any combination of participants (signers, real estate contacts, etc.), with a maximum of 2 witnesses.
