Assign a Notary to a Transaction

When you create a new notarization request from your business account, you can assign a specific notary to notarize that transaction.

Need to Know

Your notary assignment experience is variable depending on if your account has the Hard Notary Assignment feature enabled.

If this feature is ON:

• Only the assigned notary is notified when the signer is ready to meet.
• You can set a time limit for how long the signer waits for the specific notary before the transaction rings to other notaries (your own in-house notaries, your notary panel, or the Notarize Network of on-demand notaries). 

Be sure to set expectations about wait times with your signers according to your overflow settings.

If Hard Notary Assignment is OFF and you assign a transaction to a specific notary:

• All compliant notaries on your team, including the assigned notary and any other in-house notaries, will be notified at the same time. The call shows that it's assigned to a specific notary, but it can be answered by any notary who is notified.
• You can set a time limit for how long the signer waits for the assigned notary before the transaction rings to other available notaries (your own in-house notaries, your notary panel, or the Notarize Network of on-demand notaries).

Assign an In-House Notary

During transaction creation, follow the steps below to select a specific notary.

1. Select Internal notary under Who will conduct the meeting?
2. Choose the desired notary from the dropdown menu that appears.

Overflow

With Overflow turned on, you can set a time limit for how long the signer waits for the assigned notary before the transaction is routed to the Notarize Network. 

Use the Notarize Network

If you prefer to use the Notarize Network of on-demand notaries for the transaction, select Notarize during transaction creation.
