Remote notarization is such a mixed bag, ! Last week, I had a closing where the client couldn’t connect due to technical issues. I find that keeping a backup checklist of common tech fixes helps, like ensuring their browser is updated or clearing their cache.

I totally get the struggle with tech hiccups during remote notarizations — it’s like trying to connect a VCR to a smart TV! I’ve started sending clients a quick tech checklist a day before the appointment, which helps smooth out the bumps. It doesn’t eliminate all issues, but it definitely cuts down on surprises.

The tech issues during remote notarization can really drive me nuts! Recently, I had a closing where the client struggled with their printer not working, which delayed everything. I’ve started reminding clients to test their setup a day in advance — it can save so much time.
