Online Notary for NRI: How to Notarize Indian Documents from Abroad

For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), managing Indian legal documents from abroad has always been a challenge. Whether it is a power of attorney to authorise a relative to manage property, an affidavit for a court matter, or a consent letter required by a school or institution — the traditional process meant either flying back to India or navigating complex Indian consulate procedures.

EZNotary changes this entirely. NRIs can now notarise Indian documents online from anywhere in the world — including the UK, USA, UAE, Canada, Australia, and Singapore — in under 15 minutes, using only their Aadhaar-linked mobile number.

Can NRIs Use Online Notarisation?

Yes. If you have an active Aadhaar number linked to a mobile number that you can receive OTPs on (including international numbers updated with UIDAI), you can use EZNotary from any country. The platform is fully online — the entire process happens via a secure video call and Aadhaar-authenticated eSign.

Documents notarised through EZNotary are legally valid under India's Information Technology Act, 2000 and the eSign framework. EZNotary is also India's first online notarisation platform to receive High Court approval.

Which Indian Documents Can NRIs Notarise Online?

EZNotary supports online notarisation for the most common NRI document needs:

• General Power of Attorney (GPA) — Authorise a family member to manage property, bank accounts, or legal matters in India
• Special Power of Attorney (SPA) — For specific transactions such as property sale or purchase
• Affidavits — Income, residential, relationship, and other declarations
• Consent letters — School admissions, travel, medical authorisation
• Rental agreements — For properties you own in India
• NOC (No Objection Certificate)
• Indemnity bonds and undertakings
• Property and sale deed supporting documents

How Does Online Notarisation Work for NRIs?

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit EZNotary.in and register with your email address. You can do this from any country — there is no India-specific restriction on account creation.

Step 2: Complete Aadhaar eKYC

Enter your Aadhaar number and verify your identity using the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. If your Aadhaar is linked to your Indian mobile number, make sure you have access to that number (via roaming, a local SIM, or an Indian number forwarding service) or update your UIDAI-registered number to your current international number.

Step 3: Upload Your Document

Upload the PDF of the document you need notarised. Select the document type and specify all parties involved. For a Power of Attorney, the principal (you, the NRI) must be present in the video session.

Step 4: Book a Session

Choose a scheduled or instant session. EZNotary notaries are available during Indian business hours. Given time zone differences, NRIs in regions like the UK, USA East Coast, or Gulf countries can typically find convenient morning or evening slots.

Step 5: Join the Video Session and Sign

Join the secure video call with your EZNotary-certified notary. The notary will verify your identity, review the document with you, and initiate the Aadhaar eSign process. You sign using your Aadhaar OTP — all done digitally.

Step 6: Receive Your Notarised Document

Your notarised document — with the notary's digital seal and attestation — is delivered to your email instantly and stored in your EZNotary dashboard.

NRI Notarisation: Online vs. Indian Consulate

The traditional alternative for NRIs is getting documents notarised at the nearest Indian consulate or embassy — a process that can take weeks, requires in-person visits, and is only available in cities with Indian diplomatic missions.

• EZNotary: Online, 15 minutes, starting at ₹215, available from any country
• Indian Consulate: In-person, 1–4 weeks, appointment required, limited availability

Is EZNotary's Notarisation Accepted in India for NRI Documents?

Yes. Documents notarised through EZNotary are accepted by courts, government offices, banks, property registrars, and other institutions across India. The digital notarisation includes a tamper-proof digital seal, certificate number, and notary details — all of which can be verified online.

For specific requirements (such as property registration at a sub-registrar's office), please verify the acceptability of digitally notarised documents with the relevant authority before proceeding, as requirements may vary by state and document type.

Pricing for NRI Notarisation

• Standard notarisation: ₹215 + GST per document
• Additional signatories: ₹35 + GST per additional party
• eSign only (without notarisation): ₹15 + GST per document

Payment can be made with Indian credit/debit cards, UPI (if your Indian account is accessible), or international cards.

The process is fast (15 minutes), legally valid, and accessible from anywhere in the world. Whether you need a power of attorney, affidavit, or consent letter notarised — EZNotary makes it simple.
