Short walkthroughs of the real app, shown with demo data — one for notaries, one for witnesses.

Notary guide

Create a notary account, finish setup with your state license, post the support you need, fund the payout, then choose who works the signing and confirm when it's done. Length

Witness guide

Create a witness account, browse opportunities near you by list or map, request one at the posted amount or offer a higher amount, manage the assignment once the poster approves you, and get paid after the poster confirms. Length

One Opportunity. One Organized Workflow.

From posting to payment, every step of a signing-support opportunity happens in one place.

  1. Create Your Profile

    Sign up free on the web as a notary, a witness, or a business.

    • Everyone who transacts verifies their identity with Stripe before posting, taking an opportunity or adding a license.
    • Notaries add their state license for ActaVia to review.
  2. Post or Find an Opportunity

    Notaries and businesses post the date, time, location and compensation. Witnesses see opportunities near them and respond.

    • Witnesses browse nearby opportunities by list, map and distance.
    • Witnesses respond at the posted amount or offer a higher one.
  3. Review & Select

    The poster reviews who responded — their identity verification, badges and track record on ActaVia — and chooses who they want to work with.

    • Only the poster selects who works the opportunity.
  4. Coordinate & Complete

    The poster and each approved worker coordinate in private, in-app messaging. The worker marks the work complete when the signing is done.

    • Signing documents are shared with end-to-end encryption.
    • The exact address is shown only after a worker is approved.
  5. Confirm & Pay

    Payment is released within 5 business days after the poster confirms the opportunity is complete, unless the opportunity is under review or an account needs attention. Deposit timing after that depends on your bank.

    • Completed opportunities and badges build your track record on ActaVia.

Choose Your Path

ActaVia works a little differently depending on who you are.

Mobile Notaries

Stop scrambling for signing support.

Need a witness? Post the opportunity. Review who responds and choose who you want to work with.

  • Post with the date, time, location and compensation
  • See identity verification, badges and track record before you select
  • Coordinate, confirm completion and pay in one place

Witnesses

Turn your available time into paid opportunities.

Looking for flexible paid opportunities? See what's posted near you. Review the details before you respond. You don't need to be a notary.

  • Choose the opportunities that fit your schedule
  • The poster pays up front when they post — you keep 100% of the agreed compensation
  • Build a reputation with every completed signing

You're an independent professional, not an ActaVia employee. Opportunities depend on what's posted in your area, so ActaVia can't guarantee opportunities or earnings.

Why ActaVia Exists

Finding last-minute signing support should not require frantic Facebook posts, group messages, phone calls and text chains.

ActaVia was created to give notaries, witnesses and signing professionals a more organized way to connect, coordinate opportunities and handle the transaction.

Know Who You're Working With Before You Select Them

Here is exactly what ActaVia checks, and what you can see before you choose.

Identity Verified Before Anyone Transacts

Every ActaVia user who transacts verifies their identity with Stripe Identity — a government ID and a selfie: witnesses before taking or bidding on an opportunity, notaries before submitting their first state license, and businesses before posting.

Notary Licenses Reviewed by ActaVia

Notaries verify their identity and upload their state license with proof of commission and E&O insurance, reviewed and approved by the ActaVia team before a notary can post in that state.

Profiles You Can Check

Before you select someone, see their identity verification, badges and track record on ActaVia.

Protected Documents and Addresses

Signing documents are end-to-end encrypted, and only the people on the signing who need them can open them. The exact address stays hidden until a worker is approved. Messaging is private and in-app, between the poster and each approved worker.

ActaVia does not run background checks. Badges reflect platform activity only — not legal certification, licensing, or insurance verification. ActaVia is a marketplace, not a notarization service or legal advisor; the notary remains responsible for verifying witness identity and eligibility under applicable law.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ActaVia?

ActaVia is a marketplace for mobile notary support. Notaries and signing businesses post opportunities, witnesses respond, and both sides handle selection, messaging, completion and payment in one place.

How is ActaVia different from a witness directory?

A directory helps you find a name and a phone number, and then you handle everything else yourself. On ActaVia you post the opportunity, review who responds, choose who you want, coordinate in the app, confirm completion and pay through the platform.

Who can use ActaVia?

Mobile notaries, people who want to work as signing witnesses, and businesses such as signing services. Each account has one role.

Are notaries and witnesses ActaVia employees?

No. ActaVia is a marketplace, not an employer. Notaries and witnesses on ActaVia are independent professionals: they choose which opportunities to respond to and when they're available, and posters choose who they work with.

Do I have to be a notary to be a witness?

No. Witnesses don't need a notary commission. They verify their identity with Stripe before taking or bidding on an opportunity. Notaries can also take witness opportunities.

Can witnesses post opportunities?

No. Posting is limited to notaries with an approved license for the state of the signing, and to standard business and signing-service accounts. Witnesses browse and respond to opportunities.

Does ActaVia guarantee opportunities?

No. ActaVia is a marketplace. Opportunities depend on what notaries and businesses post in your area, and we can't guarantee opportunities or earnings.

How do witnesses get paid?

Through ActaVia, with Stripe. The poster pays the compensation when they post. When the work is done you mark it complete and the poster confirms it. Payment is released within 5 business days after the poster confirms the opportunity is complete, unless the opportunity is under review or an account needs attention. Deposit timing after that depends on your bank. You set up Stripe payouts before posters can select you.

What does it cost to join?

Joining is free. Witnesses pay no fees on their work and receive 100% of the agreed compensation; an optional Witness Pro plan adds extra tools, but you never need it to work. Posters pay a posting fee plus a service fee on top of the compensation. Notary plans lower or remove the posting fee depending on the plan, business plans remove it, and your first plan starts with a free trial. See current amounts on the fee schedule.

Where is ActaVia launching?

We're building the first ActaVia marketplace network in Florida — Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and surrounding areas. Notaries and witnesses elsewhere can join now as ActaVia expands.

How are users verified?

Every user who transacts verifies their identity with Stripe Identity (a government ID and a selfie): witnesses before taking or bidding on an opportunity, notaries before submitting their first state license, and businesses before posting. Notaries also upload their state license with proof of commission and E&O insurance, reviewed and approved by the ActaVia team. ActaVia does not run background checks.

Do I need an app?

No. You can use ActaVia on the web at getactavia.com today. iPhone users can also join our pilot app through Apple TestFlight, and the Android app is coming soon. Join the iPhone pilot (TestFlight).

What kinds of opportunities can be posted?

Signing-support opportunities: in-person witnesses for a notary signing, and notary signings posted by businesses that need a commissioned notary. Each post includes the date, time, location and compensation.
