Proof vs. BlueNotary | Remote Online Notarization

Proof vs. BlueNotary

With Proof, the compliance certifications, notary availability guarantee, and identity verification recovery rate are documented — because in regulated industries, the full cost of a platform goes beyond the per- session price.

#1 rated online notary service

Whether you're a person proving who you are, a business that needs proof, or a developer building the next transaction layer — Proof is the infrastructure underneath.

Why teams switch to Proof

Compliance certifications for regulated transactions.

IAL2 certification from Kantara, WebTrust audit certification, and AATL- compliant digital certificates. For organizations in real estate, financial services, or legal, these are the certifications that appear in audit reviews. BlueNotary does not hold them

Identity verification with a published fallback rate.

61.8% of sessions that fail KBA are completed through biometric fallback on Proof. BlueNotary does not publish an equivalent metric. For high-value or regulated transactions, that gap has a real cost when verification fails and there is no documented recovery path.

Notary availability with a published SLA.

Proof publishes 99.99% uptime, average connection time under 30 seconds, and off-hours data. BlueNotary does not publish equivalent performance benchmarks. For organizations where notarization is a recurring workflow, availability data matters most when a session fails at a critical moment.

Notarize with Proof

The full cost of a failed verification session

More than 60% of sessions that fail KBA are recovered through biometric fallback on Proof. BlueNotary does not publish a biometric fallback recovery rate. For organizations running regulated or high- value notarizations, a failed verification that has no documented recovery path is not just an operational inconvenience — it is a transaction that does not close.

Availability data that actually tells you something

The Notarize Network runs 24/7/365 with 99.99% uptime and connects More than 88% of sessions to a notary in under 30 seconds, including ~85% of sessions during evenings and overnight. For organizations where notarization is a recurring workflow, the question is not whether a platform claims to offer 24/7 access — it is whether that claim is backed by a published SLA.

Certifications that show up in audit reviews

IAL2 from Kantara, WebTrust audit certification, and AATL-compliant digital certificates are the credentials that appear in regulated industry audit reviews beyond SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Proof holds all three specifically for notarization.

AP Equipment Financing processed more than 8,000 transactions on Proof. Closing time went from one to two weeks down to around 2.5 minutes. As CMO/CTO Nick Fong noted, "Proof is different. It makes the experience easier for customers and easier for us."

Baxter Credit Union serves 250,000 members across the US and Puerto Rico. After moving to Proof for member POA, processing time dropped from multiple days to around 15 minutes and user adoption tripled. As they put it: "[Proof] couldn't be easier."

Frequently asked questions

BlueNotary is significantly cheaper. How do I justify the cost difference?

BlueNotary's pricing is transparent and the upfront savings are real. The justification for Proof typically comes from the compliance certifications your auditors, regulators, or underwriters require — and from what happens operationally when a signer cannot be verified and there is no published biometric fallback recovery rate. For organizations running regulated transactions, those are concrete numbers, not hypotheticals.

How does Proof pricing compare to BlueNotary?

Pricing for both platforms varies by volume and plan. You can check out more about Proof’s pricing here.

Can I migrate from BlueNotary to Proof?

Yes. Proof's implementation team handles transitions from BlueNotary, including for organizations using BlueNotary's Enterprise API.
