Documents notarized through EZNotary carry the same legal weight as traditionally notarized documents. EZNotary is also India's first online notarization platform to receive High Court approval.

Question 2

How long does online notarization take?

Accepted Answer

Most documents are notarized within 15 minutes. The process involves uploading your document (2–3 minutes), completing Aadhaar KYC (3–5 minutes, one-time), connecting with an available notary via video call (5–10 minutes), and downloading your notarized document instantly.

Question 3

What documents can I notarize online in India?

Accepted Answer

You can notarize affidavits, power of attorney (general and special), rental and lease agreements, indemnity bonds, declarations, undertakings, consent letters, authorization letters, NOCs, loan agreements, property documents, commercial agreements, and business contracts.

Question 4

How much does online notarization cost in India?

Accepted Answer

EZNotary charges ₹215 + GST per document for standard notarization. For multi-party documents, each additional signer costs ₹35 + GST. eSign-only service (without notarization) is available at ₹15 + GST per document. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.

Question 5

What is Aadhaar eKYC and why is it required?

Accepted Answer

Aadhaar eKYC (Know Your Customer) is a government-approved identity verification process that uses your Aadhaar number and a one-time password (OTP) to confirm your identity. It is required by the eSign framework to ensure that only the rightful person signs and notarizes documents.

Question 6

What is the difference between eSign and notarization?

Accepted Answer

eSign is an electronic signature applied to a document using Aadhaar OTP authentication — it confirms who signed the document. Notarization is a separate legal process where a certified notary witnesses the signing, verifies identity, and attests to the document's authenticity with an official seal. Some documents require only eSign; others require full notarization.
