U.S. online notarization for an AWS identity affidavit
AWS MFA Identity Verification Form Online Notary
iRemoteNotary helps eligible signers notarize the AWS MFA Identity Verification Form and Affidavit online when AWS Support asks for a notarized identity affidavit.
People commonly need this after losing an MFA device, changing phones, losing a registered phone number, or reaching the end of AWS's published recovery steps. iRemoteNotary is not affiliated with Amazon, AWS, or AWS Support.
Quick answer
The AWS MFA Identity Verification Form and Affidavit is AWS's identity affidavit for an account owner who asks AWS to remove MFA devices on the listed accounts. AWS says the form must be validated by a notary public or signed with a qualified electronic signature to be effective.
AWS may request the notarized form when another registered MFA device, and for a root user the account email and primary phone, do not restore access. Do not sign or date the affidavit before the notary session. AWS says the signer signs and dates only in the notary's presence, and the signature dates must match. AWS controls whether the documentation is accepted and whether MFA is removed.

International signers
International signers can reach iRemoteNotary on WhatsApp at +1 (305) 608-4003. Include your country, preferred time zone, and whether you have a passport or other government-issued photo ID. A passport is usually preferred for international online notarization.
Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state. AWS controls whether the documentation is accepted and whether MFA is removed.
What AWS says to prepare
- A valid, current, government-issued photo ID. AWS lists a driver's license, passport, government ID, and military ID as acceptable examples.
- AWS lists badges, credit cards, school IDs, Social Security cards, employee IDs, and library cards as unacceptable identification.
- Sign and date the affidavit only while the notary is present. The signature dates must match.
- The notary stamp or seal should be on the affidavit page unless local law provides otherwise.
- Proof of address is optional for MFA removal and required for an email change, according to AWS's September 4, 2026 requirements PDF.
Use AWS's own form. iRemoteNotary does not host a copy. Read the AWS IAM lost or broken MFA guide, the AWS Required Documentation for MFA Removal and Email Change, and the AWS MFA Individual Identity Verification Form and Affidavit.
Step-by-step process
- Confirm AWS asked for the form. Try another registered MFA device first. A root user can also use the account email and primary phone. An IAM user contacts an administrator.
- Complete the form, including the account appendix, but do not sign or date it.
- Prepare your government-issued photo ID. Keep ID photocopies for AWS as a separate upload from the notarized affidavit.
- Start the online notary session and appear live on camera.
- Sign and date the affidavit in front of the notary.
- Submit the notarized document to AWS yourself, using the instructions in your Support case.
Pricing
Standard online notarization starts at $25. An international coordination fee of $25 may apply when the signer is outside the United States. Additional notarizations are $15 each if the uploaded document requires more than one. The AWS MFA affidavit normally has one signature block. The appendix with account information does not by itself add a second seal. Final pricing depends on the uploaded document and the notarizations it requires.

FAQ
Can an AWS MFA Identity Verification Form be notarized online?
AWS's requirements PDF, updated September 4, 2026, allows an in-person notary or a remote online notary who complies with applicable law. iRemoteNotary can notarize the signer's execution of the affidavit during a live session. AWS still decides whether to accept the packet.
Should I sign the AWS MFA affidavit before the notary session?
Do not sign or date the affidavit before the notary session. AWS says the signer signs and dates only in the notary's presence, and the signature dates must match.
Can iRemoteNotary remove MFA from my AWS account?
iRemoteNotary does not remove MFA devices. AWS controls whether the documentation is accepted and whether MFA is removed.
Is iRemoteNotary affiliated with AWS?
iRemoteNotary is not affiliated with Amazon, AWS, or AWS Support.
Can an IAM user use this affidavit instead of contacting an administrator?
No. AWS's IAM guide says an IAM user who cannot sign in with MFA must contact an administrator to deactivate the device. This affidavit is not a substitute for that administrator.
Can an international AWS account owner use a remote online notary?
AWS allows a remote online notary who complies with applicable law, including a signer who is abroad. Message iRemoteNotary on WhatsApp at +1 (305) 608-4003 with your country, time zone, and whether you have a passport or other government photo ID. AWS controls whether the documentation is accepted and whether MFA is removed.
What does an AWS MFA affidavit notarization cost?
Standard online notarization starts at $25. An international coordination fee of $25 may apply when the signer is outside the United States. Additional notarizations are $15 each if the uploaded document requires more than one. The AWS MFA affidavit normally has one signature block. The appendix with account information does not by itself add a second seal. Final pricing depends on the uploaded document and the notarizations it requires.
Does the notary seal need to be on the affidavit page?
AWS says the notary stamp or seal should be on the affidavit page unless local law provides otherwise. Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state. The electronic certificate has to travel with the affidavit.
What if AWS asks for proof that the notary is valid?
If AWS asks for additional proof of the notarization or notary authority, the signer may need to provide the completed notarized affidavit, notary commission details, a public notary commission lookup when available, or a platform session report/audit record if the remote online notarization platform provides one. These materials may help AWS review the packet, but AWS controls whether the documentation is accepted.
