Self-Tagging Real Estate Documents

• You can set markers on documents to ensure your Signers and the Notary meet the documents' requirements. 
• The toggles for each document are in the top right corner of the document preparation view.
• Set the requirements for each document as you prepare them.

See below for each toggle’s function and when it is appropriate to use:

	Requires Notarization  Ensures the document is signed in front of the Notary and alerts the Notary that a seal is required to complete the document.
	Requires In-Meeting Signing  Signers must sign the document during the meeting with the notary.
	Allow Pre-Meeting Editing  Allows your Signer(s) to insert information before the meeting. This feature is helpful for forms such as Wire Transfers, 1099s, etc.  Note: If you select the green Requires In-Meeting Signing toggle in addition to this toggle, it allows information to be added and also locks the Signer from signing in front of the Notary if a signature is needed.
	Witness Required  Notifies the Notary that witnesses are required for the transaction.

You can easily assign the appropriate access toggles on the Transaction Creation page by selecting the appropriate option for each document. When a toggle is enabled, it will turn color, and when turned off, it will show as grayed out.

Adding Notary Tags does not apply any notarial information before the meeting with the Signer. It simply enables notaries to efficiently complete their notarial duties during the meeting.
