Notarize your background check forms in minutes with Proof

ShiftKey has partnered with Proof to offer a secure way for you to notarize documents online. Proof offers 24/7 access to commissioned online notaries, allowing you to complete your forms at your convenience – anytime, anywhere.

How it works

1. Start the signing process

ShiftKey and Proof have taken the initial step of pre-loading your document into the Proof platform. When you're ready, scroll to the bottom of this page and click the blue "Notarize now" button to get started.

2. Verify your identity

Proof will ask you a series of questions and prompt photos of a valid, government-issued ID to quickly and securely verify your identity.

3. Connect with a live notary

In seconds, Proof will connect you with a commissioned notary over a live video feed. The notary will confirm your identity, witness your signature, and assist you throughout the process.

4. Download your documents

After the notary meeting, Proof will prompt for credit card payment before you can access your completed forms. You’ll then be able to download your documents and send them to their final destination.
