Smart eNotary loads a Stavvy eSign application that displays a welcome screen. Stavvy provides digital closing services for real estate, including remote online notarization, in-person electronic notarization, electronic signing, audit trails, and video and document storage. Remote notarization uses identity checks, video, and digital signatures for submitting, notarizing, and delivering documents. In-person electronic notarization supports closings on tablets or similar devices with signers and mobile notaries. The platform also supports electronic signatures on non-notarized documents in hybrid closings, as well as eNotes and an Eligibility Engine. Stavvy describes remote checks that may involve government ID, credential analysis, knowledge-based authentication, biometrics, and webcam liveness detection. It says the platform is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and uses tamper-evident cryptography for certificates, signatures, and seals. It integrates with ICE Mortgage Technology’s Encompass platform. Services are intended only for people located in the United States, and fees are set out in customer order forms, statements of work, or exhibits.
