NotaryCentral Payout System

Last updated March 10, 2025

NotaryCentral makes remote online notarization (RON) payments simple and predictable for notaries. When a signer schedules a RON session, NotaryCentral collects payment upfront. Platform fees are deducted from the signer’s payment (learn more about RON pricing at https://www.notarycentral.org/pricing/remote-online-notarization), and the remaining funds are disbursed to the notary and any witnesses (if applicable) through our Stripe Connect integration.

To receive payouts, notaries must complete their Stripe Connect profile. Stripe Connect sends funds directly to your bank account, so you do not need a separate billing strategy or processor.

How payouts work

1. Signer pays in advance. Payment is collected before ID verification begins.
2. Fees are deducted automatically. Platform fees are taken from the signer’s payment.
3. Stripe Connect disburses funds. The remaining amount is transferred to the notary and any witnesses.
4. Funds arrive in your bank account. Stripe Connect delivers payouts directly to your linked bank.

Benefits for notaries

• No financial risk if a signing falls through. We reimburse the signer (minus any completed KBA or credential analysis + biometrics tests), so you never lose money.
• No upfront purchases required. Platform fees are automatically deducted from the client’s payment.
• Payment is secured before verification starts. Stripe is integrated so you can focus on notarizing, not billing.
