  1. When notarizing a 1583 document, the notary is able to serve as the witness, unless the state requires a separate witness.

  2. Some documents or states require one or more witnesses in addition to the notary.

  3. Witnesses must join the online session, present ID, and watch you sign.

  4. You are usually responsible for providing your own witnesses unless the booking page clearly says otherwise.

  5. Check your document or local rules to confirm how many witnesses you need.
