Concurrent Signing

Concurrent Signing is when multiple signers meet simultaneously from separate locations and devices in one notary meeting.  A total of ten (10) signers can join a meeting. If you need witnesses, up to eight (8) signers and two (2) witnesses can join the meeting.

Concurrent Signing is available for transactions initiated by organizations (Title Agents, Mortgage Lenders, and other business customers of Proof). The Concurrent Signing feature must be enabled by a Proof administrator on behalf of the organization.

Notes

1. If the signer starts a Concurrent Signing and chooses to move forward instead of waiting in the Waiting Room, the meeting becomes a Split Signing:
   • Organizations may have Concurrent Signing enabled without allowing them to move forward as Split Signings. Read Locked Concurrent Signings for more information.
     
     
2. Sign Ahead cannot be used with Concurrent Signing. All notations/annotations must be made during the meeting. If co-signers cannot meet simultaneously, or you want to use the Sign Ahead feature, opt for a Split Signing.
   
   
3. In most cases, notaries can remove a signer from concurrent multi-signer meetings, allowing the meeting to continue as a Split Signing instead of the notary having to terminate the meeting. The notary may elect to remove a signer from a Concurrent Signing if:
   • The notary is unable to verify the signer’s identity.
   • The notary and signer are unable to resolve technical issues with the meeting.
