I am not using either E-signings or E-Notarizations. It’s expensive to become an Electronic Notary Public in Colorado, not because of the cost of the commission, but because of the annual fee to the company that creates the electronic seal used in this type of transaction. As for E-Signings, even though an Electronic Seal is not required, a Laptop or other electronic device, such as an iPad and the notaries own Hotspot internet connection, or the borrowers internet connection and/or their home computer using their internet connection is required. Documents still have to be printed and wet signed and notarized. And the fee offered by one company that called me to set up training on the new platform was less then $100. It all sounds too complicated, with lots of variables that could be a disaster.
