AI is changing industries, but can it fully replace notaries public? While technology is advancing rapidly, notaries provide something AI can’t-human judgment, trust, and legal accountability.
Here’s why notaries remain irreplaceable:
Human Oversight Matters – AI can’t determine if a signer is under duress, confused, or unwilling to sign. A notary’s experience and intuition are key to ensuring a legal, fraud-free transaction.
Legal & Ethical Responsibility – Notaries are commissioned public officials who uphold state laws and ethical obligations. AI has no legal accountability and can’t testify in court if a document is challenged.
Marriage & Real Estate Limitations – Notaries in Washington can’t notarize marriage licenses and must be ordained to officiate weddings. AI won’t be officiating your wedding or handling your real estate closing anytime soon.
Instead of replacing notaries, AI will assist by reducing errors, detecting fraud, and improving compliance. Technology can enhance the notary profession, but it will never replace the value of a human notary.
