Notarization Shouldn't Slow Down Patient Care
Healthcare teams regularly need notarized documents:
But the traditional notarization process is a poor fit for clinical settings:
Staff are pulled away from patient care to call, schedule and coordinate notaries
Families may be out of town or unable to travel on short notice
Paper forms get printed, scanned, faxed, and misplaced
Time-sensitive decisions are delayed because a notary can't get to the bedside in time
USANotary is designed to remove those bottlenecks while keeping your legal and regulatory obligations front and center.
A Better Way — Bedside & Remote Digital Notarization
Bedside-Friendly, Staff-Friendly Notarization
USANotary provides a digital notarization workflow tailored to healthcare and senior care environments:
Sign at the Bedside
Using a tablet, laptop, or workstation on wheels
Remote Participation
For family members who can't be physically present
Clear Identity Verification
For each signer, with records captured for your files
Electronic Copies Delivered Instantly
To the patient, family, and your records team
Staff-Initiated Process
Your staff initiates the session; our platform handles the digital notarization process
How It Works for Healthcare Settings
Staff Start the Request
A nurse, social worker, case manager, or admissions coordinator opens the USANotary portal and selects "Healthcare / Patient Documents" as the workflow.
Enters basic information about the patient/resident and the document type:
- Will or trust
- Power of attorney (financial or medical)
- Advance directive / living will
- Facility consent or admission agreement
Invite Patient & Family
The platform generates a secure session for the notarization.
The patient signs at the bedside on a tablet or shared device.
Family members can be:
- Physically present and sign on the same device, or
- Remote participants joining by video with secure links
Complete & Store
The notary verifies identities, witnesses signatures (if required), and applies the digital seal.
Final notarized PDF is:
- Available immediately for download
- Sent to designated contacts (patient, family, records, legal)
- An audit history of the notarization is stored for compliance support
