With Proof, the compliance certifications, notary network reliability, and identity verification depth are purpose-built for notarization — not layered onto an eSign platform after the fact.

How does Proof compare to DocuSign Notary?
Sessions that close instead of fail
More than 60% of sessions that fail KBA are recovered through biometric fallback. When a signer cannot pass knowledge-based authentication because they moved recently, hold a thin credit file, or are not a US citizen, they get a second path to verification. Every recovered session is a transaction that closes rather than one that has to restart.
A notary at the exact moment you need one
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. When a borrower, client, or member needs to complete a notarization outside business hours, availability at that moment is the thing that matters.
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.
COO Melinda Wilner: "Proof makes it easier to serve our borrowers, especially when speed matters. It's a seamless experience for brokers and clients alike."
Frequently asked questions
We already use DocuSign for eSignature. Does it make sense to add DocuSign Notary?
It might, depending on your notarization volume and compliance requirements. The question is whether DocuSign Notary specifically holds the certifications your regulated transactions require and whether the notary network's availability SLA meets your operational needs. Those are worth confirming before extending the contract.
I don't want to manage another vendor.
That is reasonable. For organizations where notarization volume is low and compliance requirements are modest, staying within DocuSign may be the right call. For organizations where notarization is a recurring workflow in a regulated industry, the platform you choose needs the certifications you will be expected to produce when audited.
How does Proof pricing compare to DocuSign Notary?
Pricing for both platforms varies by volume and plan. You can check out more about Proof’s pricing here.
Can I migrate from DocuSign Notary to Proof?
Yes. Proof's implementation team handles transitions from DocuSign Notary, including for organizations already integrated with DocuSign across other tools.
