Notarize an Affidavit or Sworn Statement from China Over Zoom
Affidavits are sworn statements made under penalty of perjury and must be notarized by a US notary to be admitted in US courts and accepted by US institutions. We handle the swearing and notarization in a single 30 minute Zoom session.
Why this is hard to DIY
- ! The jurat (notarization clause) wording must match US federal or state formats. Many self drafted affidavits get rejected for the wrong language.
- ! The signer must appear live before a US notary, swearing or affirming the truth of the contents. There is no shortcut.
- ! Affidavits over one page need every page initialed in a specific way. We walk you through it on the call.
- ! Most online notary services block Chinese IPs. The private session we run does not.
What you get for $499
- ✓ A scheduled 30 minute Zoom session with a US commissioned notary.
- ✓ Pre flight document review so the wording, signature blocks, and jurat language pass on the first try.
- ✓ A US recognized notarized document, ready in under 24 hours.
- ✓ Sworn oath or affirmation conducted live on the call.
- ✓ Optional paper original couriered to your recipient, quoted up front.
To start, we just need:
- → Draft of the affidavit, unsigned.
- → Who the affidavit is for (court name and case number, insurance carrier, employer) so we confirm format requirements.
- → Photo of your US passport.
- → Number of signers on the document.
- → Your filing or closing deadline.
Frequently asked
Will a US court accept an affidavit notarized over Zoom? +
Yes. Remote online notarization is recognized by federal courts and the great majority of state courts. If your court has a specific exception, we will tell you before you pay.
How is this different from a notarized statement? +
An affidavit is sworn under oath, where the notary asks you to swear or affirm the truth of the contents. A notarized statement just verifies your identity and signature. We do both on the same call.
I drafted my own affidavit. Will it pass? +
Probably, but we review it first. Common rejections we catch in advance: missing penalty of perjury language, wrong jurisdiction in the jurat, no signature line above the typed name.

What does the $499 cover? +
One document, one signer, one Zoom session of about 30 minutes, and your US recognized notarization. Pre flight document review is included.
What if I have more than one document, or more than one signer? +
Stack everything into the same Zoom session. Tell us how many documents and how many people sign, and we send you one exact total before you pay. No separate sessions needed.
Do I need a physical wet ink original mailed to my US recipient? +
Usually no. The notarized document is accepted nationwide by title companies and courts, and by banks and federal agencies. If your specific recipient demands the paper original, we courier one. We quote it up front, courier included, to any address in the US or China. About 5 days door to door.
Can you do it today? +
Sometimes. Notary slots run mornings China time. If you ask after noon and a slot opens, same day is an extra $199. We tell you within the hour whether it is possible, and there is no charge if it is not.
What if my recipient rejects the notarized document? +
If it gets rejected because of something we should have caught in pre flight review, we redo the notarization at no charge. If your recipient changes their requirements after the fact, we work with you on a fair fix.
