Legitify

Legitify is purpose-built for a narrow but painful problem: getting documents legally notarized across borders without visiting a notary office. The process is straightforward — verify identity via Veriff, schedule a video call, upload documents, and receive notarized copies. It works in over 50 jurisdictions, which covers the EU, UK, and several other markets. Where it shines is for businesses dealing with international compliance: KYB documentation, Power of Attorney for foreign entities, corporate filings. The business plans add admin controls, analytics, and onboarding support that make it suitable for teams processing regular notarizations. Individuals can use the pay-as-you-go model for occasional needs like real estate transactions or educational certificate authentication. But there are limitations. Not all document types can be notarized remotely — it depends on the notary's jurisdiction laws. If you need in-person notarization, Legitify isn't for you. Also, coverage is limited to 50+ jurisdictions; expanding, but not universal. The video requirement might be a barrier for some users who prefer offline verification. Compared to alternatives like Notarize (US-focused) or DocuSign eNotary (limited cross-border), Legitify's advantage is its European/international orientation. But it's not a general e-signature tool — you pay for notarization, not just signature collection. In practice, we'd reach for this when speed matters and the document is already digital. The May 2026 updates suggest ongoing polish, though specifics are vague. For simple domestic notarization, local options may be cheaper. Legitify earns its keep where jurisdiction hopping is the norm.
