Secured Signing Electronic Notarisation Is Now Available to UK Notaries

Electronic Notarisation. Now Live in the UK.

Secured Signing has expanded its Electronic Notarisation and In-Person Electronic Notarisation platform across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland — giving notaries public a single, purpose-built solution to verify identity, combat deepfake fraud, and complete secure notarial acts with confidence, backed by a UK-based datacentre built around UK notary requirements.

No more travelling to London to get documents notarised. Notaries can now support clients wherever they are, office, home, car, anywhere, without compromising on compliance.

What Does Secured Signing Actually Do for Notaries?

Secured Signing combines ID Verification and Realify deepfake detection with a court-ready audit trail for every document signed, on one platform built around UK signing legislation. Instead of stitching together separate ID-checking software, video call tools and signing platforms, notaries get all three in a single, secure workflow.

How Does Remote Electronic Notarisation Work?

For fully remote appointments, notaries verify identity through biometric and 3D Liveness IDVT alongside Realify’s deepfake detection, then complete the notarisation and issue a digitally certified copy — all within one secure video session. There’s no separate ID-checking software and no separate signing tool required.

How Does In-Person Electronic Notarisation Work?

For appointments where physical presence is required by regulators, notaries capture that presence in person, then complete the signing digitally in the room. The document is instantly ready for e-Apostille, rather than sitting in a scanning queue.

What Makes a Signature Tamper-Proof on Secured Signing?

Every signature is protected by PKI X.509 eIDAS digital signature encryption as standard, included in every subscription — so the document’s integrity is built in from the moment it’s signed, not added on afterwards.

When Do You Need a QES Instead of an AES?

Not every document can be signed with an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES), and getting that distinction wrong can be costly. Where a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) is required — whether by the receiving authority, the destination country, or the nature of the document itself — Secured Signing issues it as part of the same appointment, in line with UK eIDAS requirements.

What’s Included in Compliance and Record-Keeping?

Secured Signing’s all-inclusive subscription builds fraud protection and compliance into every layer of the platform, rather than treating it as an add-on:

  • Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) and Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) in line with UK eIDAS requirements, so signed documents are widely recognised and harder to challenge
  • Digital certificate signature encryption for tamper-evident document integrity
  • Audiovisual recording of the appointment, retained as part of the evidential record
  • Detailed audit logs covering the full journey — identity check, signing, and completion

Whichever side of the border, or the Irish Sea, a notary is practising on, Secured Signing gives them a platform built to support their record-keeping duties to their regulator.

Which UK Document Categories Does Secured Signing Support?

UK notarial practice splits documents into three core categories, and knowing which one applies before an appointment starts saves everyone time. Notaries can read the full breakdown in Secured Signing’s guide, A Quick Guide for UK Notaries on Essential Document Types, to see exactly which bucket a document falls into.
