Notarization Shouldn't Slow Down Patient Care

Healthcare teams regularly need notarized documents:

Wills & living trusts
Financial & medical powers of attorney
Advance medical directives / living wills
Long-term care agreements and consent forms

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

1

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
2

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
3

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
