The State of Arizona mandates that an approved and authorized third party Knowledge Based Authentication and database service company is required for ID Verification. AZ Roving Notary is currently using Lexis/Nexis as the third provider of the Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA)service. This could be subject to change based on technological and financial considerations for our client base. 

The notary never sees the private data, the questions asked of the signer or the responses to the quiz.  The notary only receives the results as passed or failed.

If the Signer fails for any reason, the notarization process comes to an end and the signer must look to another process to have the documents notarized. (Usually we can provide a mobile notary if the signer is located in Arizona).

How can you increase your chances for success for the KBA process? All of the following questions must be answered positively.  And, you should gather the information required in advance of your remote notarization appointment.

1.  Are you a citizen of the United States?
2.  Do you have a valid social security number?
3.  Do you have a valid Driver's License or State ID?
4.  Do you have a valid US Credit History of at Least 5 years?
5.  Do you have a US Mobile Telephone Number?

Interesting fact:  As long as you are a US citizen and pass the ID authentication (and the credential analysis/facial recognition) you can be located anywhere in the world.  The notary is located in Maricopa County, Arizona, so be sure that if you are preparing an acknowledgment that the proper state and county information is added to the acknowledgement. 

Note:  Every signer who requires notarization of their signature must pass the KBA process.  If you are using a credible witness as your identification, then they too must pass the KBA process.

This is not a difficult process. But, if you do have questions, our staff of commissioned remote online notaries are here to help you understand and navigate the process.
