Notarize a Consent Form Online

A consent form is a document that gives permission for something to happen — a child to travel, a medical procedure to take place, or a record to be released. In some situations, a consent form needs to be notarized before it will be accepted. With Notary Pop, you may be able to handle that notarization online.

Common types of consent forms

Consent forms come in many forms, including:

• Travel consent for minors — permission for a child to travel, often with one parent or another adult.
• Medical consent — permission for medical treatment or procedures, sometimes for a minor or someone who can't consent for themselves.
• Record release consent — permission to release medical, educational, or other records.
• Activity and event consent — permission for participation in activities, trips, or events.

Each type serves a different purpose, but they often share a common step: confirming the identity of the person giving consent and witnessing their signature.

How online notarization may apply

Whether a consent form can be notarized online depends on the document, the notarial act requested, applicable law, and the requirements of the organization that will receive it. Many consent forms can be handled remotely, but some airlines, schools, medical providers, or agencies still have their own policies.

If you're not sure, check with the organization that will receive the consent form whether it accepts remote online notarization. When it does, Notary Pop can help you get it done.
