Virtual Address Activation Guide
Getting Ready for the Notary Process
Completing the notary process is a crucial step in activating your virtual business address. To make this as smooth as possible, simply follow this guide—that way the entire process should only take a few minutes.
Note: If your LLC has multiple signers (AKA owners), all signers must be present during the session and provide their own photo ID and proof of address.
1. Prepare for Your Notary Session
Before starting your session, you’ll need:
One of each type of ID—just make sure they match the documents you selected in the application form:
1. Proof of address
2. A valid photo ID
Not sure which ones you picked?:
You can quickly check them in the Virtual Address & Mailbox section of your LLC Dashboard:
2. Enter NotaryLive and Upload Your Documents
1. Go to NotaryLive and start the session.
2. Upload your proof of address first (photo ID comes later).
Note: If there’s more than one signer – use the “Add More” option.
3. Identity Verification Steps
To proceed with the notary session, you’ll need to:
1. Approve camera and microphone access for the online call.
2. Verify your ID:
- Upload your photo ID.
- Wait for verification.
3. Pass a security check: Answer a few knowledge-based questions to confirm your identity or complete a quick biometric check.
4. Connect with the Notary
Once you’ve passed the verification, you’ll be connected with a live notary who will:
1. Review your documents
2. Sign the form with you
3. Complete the notarization process
That’s it!
After a final notary review, your virtual mailbox will be activated, and you will start receiving business mail.
