When closing a mortgage electronically, how does the notary sign and seal documents?
A variety of images can represent a Silanis e-signature: typed text, handwritten signature images digitized through a tablet or scanner, or any other image – even a notary seal. In one Silanis e-mortgage implementation, homebuyers sign mortgage documents online using a user ID, password and their typed name as the visible signature. The buyer and seller sign the documents that require notarization on a signature tablet on the day of closing. In their presence, the notary signs using a digital certificate, handwritten signature image and electronic notary seal.
