Quick Answer

Can a real estate power of attorney be notarized online for a closing?

An eligible real estate power of attorney may be notarized online when the title company, lender, attorney, and any recording path allow that document and a remote notarial act. iRemoteNotary does not draft or approve the power of attorney. A single-seal document may start at $45. A larger POA-related package is quoted after review.

Who this is for

Title companies that will allow an attorney-in-fact to sign
Lenders and credit unions that accept a specific power of attorney form
Real estate attorneys who prepared the power of attorney and need a notarial act
Closing coordinators handling a seller, buyer, or borrower who cannot attend

When this works

The receiving party has accepted this power of attorney for this closing.
The principal can complete identity verification.
Any required witnesses can appear under the document rules.

When this may not work

The lender or title company rejects powers of attorney, or requires its own form.
The request is for legal advice about whether the power of attorney is sufficient.
The document must be recorded and the recording office has not confirmed the format.
The principal has already signed and the instructions require the signature during the session.

Who this page is for

This page is for title companies, escrow officers, settlement agents, mortgage lenders, banks, credit unions, real estate attorneys, closing coordinators, and signing services that need remote online notarization overflow.

Use this page when closing authority depends on a power of attorney. The notarial act does not make an invalid or rejected power of attorney acceptable to the title company or lender.

Closing uses for a power of attorney

Seller who will not attend and has named an attorney-in-fact
Buyer or borrower signing authority reviewed by the lender
Title-company instruction that a specific power of attorney must be notarized before closing
Principal located away from the closing office, including a principal who may be abroad

Who decides whether the power of attorney works

The power of attorney must be accepted by the receiving party. Title, lender, and attorney instructions control. Some powers of attorney require witnesses. Recording requirements may apply depending on the document and jurisdiction.

iRemoteNotary does not draft the power of attorney, does not approve its legal sufficiency, and does not provide legal advice.

iRemoteNotary supports the notarial act and related coordination for eligible files. It does not provide legal advice, title insurance, underwriting approval, document preparation, eNote custody, eVault services, MERS registration, or recording acceptance decisions.

Pricing guidance

A standalone real estate document may start at $45 when the request is a single-seal power of attorney. A more complex power of attorney, extra witnesses, or a closing package around that document is quoted after review. Light seller packages may start at $150 when the power of attorney is only one part of a limited seller set.

Final pricing is confirmed after the request details are reviewed.

KBA and identity verification readiness

KBA may be required for some title, lender, mortgage, real estate, investor, or recipient workflows. Other eligible workflows may allow biometric identity verification with credential analysis. The receiving party's requirements control.

Identity proofing applies to the principal who is signing. The attorney-in-fact is not a substitute for the principal's identity verification on the power of attorney itself.

Receiving-party approval

Available when approved by the title company, lender, settlement agent, underwriter, investor, recipient, and recording path.

Secure workflow

Please do not submit sensitive closing packages through a public form. Eligible files are coordinated through the appropriate secure platform workflow or approved delivery process after review.

Closing packages are handled through secure, MISMO-compliant remote online notarization and eClosing-capable platform workflows, when approved by the title company, lender, settlement agent, underwriter, investor, and recording path.

The secure platform guide explains session settings. It does not review whether the power of attorney grants the authority the closing needs. See the secure platform guide.

Witnesses and split signing

Ask the title company or attorney whether this power of attorney requires witnesses and whether those witnesses must appear by video. If other sellers sign separately, mark split signing on the quote form.

Related seller scheduling is on remote seller package support and light seller package support.

What happens next

Submit the quote with the witness count, page count, and whether the receiving party has already accepted the form. Clear the RON approval checklist before scheduling.

Information a closing-team assistant should collect

If you are a title, lender, bank, credit union, or closing-team assistant gathering information for a notarization request, collect the signer location, deadline, number of signers, whether signers will attend together or need split sessions, number of notary seals expected, number of pages, witness requirements, document type, and any known closing instructions. These details help estimate time, platform handling, witness coordination, and quote amount.

iRemoteNotary performs the notarial act. It is not a lender, title company, settlement agent, attorney, title underwriter, recorder, document preparer, eVault provider, investor, or closing platform provider. It does not decide legal sufficiency, loan eligibility, title approval, investor eligibility, recording acceptance, or whether a county recorder will accept the document.

FAQ

Will you prepare the power of attorney?

No. iRemoteNotary does not provide document preparation or legal advice. The attorney, title company, or receiving party supplies the form and decides whether it is acceptable.

Does notarization mean the lender must accept the power of attorney?

No. Notarization is the notarial act. Lender, title, and attorney instructions still control whether that power of attorney can be used for the closing.

What does a single power of attorney cost?

A standalone real estate document may start at $45 when it is a single-seal document. Witnesses, extra seals, or a larger package are quoted after review. Final pricing is confirmed after the request details are reviewed.
