Online Notary for LLC Operating Agreements Used for Business Bank Accounts
iRemoteNotary helps eligible domestic and international signers notarize a U.S. LLC operating agreement, certification of member, bank resolution, or related business-bank document online.

Quick answer
Many international signers can complete an online notarization for a U.S. LLC operating agreement, certification of member, bank resolution, or related business-bank document if the document is eligible, the signer can complete identity verification, and the receiving bank accepts remote online notarization. The notary notarizes the signer’s signature or sworn statement. The bank decides whether the document is acceptable.
Have a U.S. LLC document that a bank asked you to notarize? Upload the unsigned document and confirm the bank’s required wording before your session.
Who this is for
- Are you outside the United States and trying to open a business bank account for a U.S. LLC?
- Did a Dutch bank, European fintech, EMI, payment provider, or compliance department ask for a notarized LLC operating agreement?
- Did your bank ask for a company resolution, certification of member, bank resolution, or proof of signing authority?
- Do you have a Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, New Mexico, or other U.S. LLC and need a document notarized while abroad?
- Did the bank ask for a notarized certification of an operating agreement?
- Are you unsure whether the bank needs an acknowledgment, jurat, certified copy, or specific wording?
Common documents this may involve
- LLC Operating Agreement
- Single-Member LLC Operating Agreement
- Certification of Member
- Company Resolution to Open a Bank Account
- Banking Resolution
- Authorized Signer Statement
- Certificate of Incumbency
- Ownership or UBO declaration when the bank provides the wording
- Custodian affidavit for a copy of an operating agreement
- Power of Attorney for bank or account-opening support
Banks and fintechs often ask for formation records, an operating agreement, an EIN or other tax identification document, government ID, ownership or control information, a business address, and an authorization or banking resolution. Those requests come from the institution. iRemoteNotary does not verify beneficial ownership.
Acknowledgment or jurat
If the bank only needs the signer’s execution of the operating agreement notarized, an acknowledgment is often used. If the bank requires the signer to swear or affirm that company information, ownership, authority, or a banking resolution is true, a jurat may be required. The signer should confirm the required notarial wording with the receiving bank before the session.
Not sure whether the bank needs an acknowledgment or jurat? Send the unsigned document and the bank’s instructions before the session.

Outside the U.S.? Message iRemoteNotary on WhatsApp at +1 (305) 608-4003 with your country, time zone, LLC state, bank name, and ID type.
Does the notary need to be from the same state as the LLC?
Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state. The LLC formation state and the notary’s commissioning state do not always have to match, but the receiving bank or institution decides whether it will accept the notarized document. If the bank specifically requires a notary from the LLC’s formation state, the signer should confirm that before scheduling.
Step-by-step process
- Confirm what the bank or recipient requires.
- Complete the document but do not sign it before the session unless instructed.
- Confirm whether the bank wants an acknowledgment, jurat, certified-copy wording, or specific notarial wording.
- Prepare your valid government-issued photo ID.
- Start the online notary session.
- Sign or swear or affirm during the live session.
- Send the notarized document to the bank or recipient.
Before scheduling, gather your unsigned document, valid photo ID, bank instructions, and any required notarial wording.
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. Final pricing depends on the uploaded document and the number of required notarizations.

Frequently asked questions
Can I notarize a U.S. LLC operating agreement online from another country?
Many international signers can complete an online notarization of an eligible U.S. LLC operating agreement while they are outside the United States, if identity verification succeeds. iRemoteNotary notarizes the signature or sworn statement. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Can a non-U.S. resident notarize LLC documents for a U.S. business bank account?
A non-U.S. resident may appear before a commissioned U.S. online notary for an eligible LLC document. Citizenship is not the deciding factor. The signer still needs acceptable government photo ID and a completed identity check. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Can I notarize a Wyoming LLC operating agreement with a Florida online notary?
Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state. A Wyoming LLC does not by itself require the notary's commission to be from Wyoming. A Florida commission is not a promise that every Wyoming, Delaware, or other state LLC document will be accepted. If the bank requires a notary commissioned in the LLC's formation state, confirm that before scheduling. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Does the notary have to be from the same state as my LLC?
The LLC formation state and the online notary's commissioning state do not always have to match. Remote online notarization is performed under the law of the online notary's commissioning state. If the bank specifically requires a notary from the formation state, confirm that before scheduling. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Can a single-member LLC operating agreement be notarized online?
A single-member LLC operating agreement can be notarized online when the member who will sign appears live and the document is eligible. The notary does not decide whether that person is the only member. iRemoteNotary does not verify beneficial ownership. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Can an LLC bank resolution be notarized online?
An LLC bank resolution can be notarized online when the person signing appears live and the document calls for an acknowledgment or a jurat. The notary does not decide who may open or control the account. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Should a notarized operating agreement use an acknowledgment or jurat?
If the bank only needs the signer's execution of the operating agreement notarized, an acknowledgment is often used.

Confirm the required wording with the bank before the session. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.
Can a notary certify that my LLC is real?
No. iRemoteNotary does not certify LLC validity. The notary notarizes the signer's signature, acknowledgment, or oath. A formation filing comes from the state's filing office.
Can a notary verify I own the LLC?
No. iRemoteNotary does not verify beneficial ownership. Identity verification identifies the person in the session. It does not establish who owns or controls the company for the bank.

Can I use a foreign passport for an LLC bank-document notarization?

Can I notarize LLC documents for Wise, Mercury, Yoursafe, Payoneer, or another fintech?
A fintech or payment provider may ask for notarized LLC documents. iRemoteNotary is not affiliated with Wise, Mercury, Yoursafe, Payoneer, or any other named institution. iRemoteNotary does not open bank accounts. The receiving bank or institution controls acceptance.

- Customer due diligence requirements for financial institutions (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network)
The Delaware Division of Corporations explains that a limited liability company agreement is maintained by the company. The IRS describes an employer identification number as the business tax ID. FinCEN’s customer due diligence rule is one reason covered financial institutions collect ownership and control information. None of those sources makes the notary the reviewer of the LLC.
