In this communication, we take a deeper dive into a valuable feature in GCPay that you may not yet be aware of, but could benefit from using! 

GCPay can help take away the burden

of lien waiver notarization

Lien waiver notary requirements vary by state, and in most states, notarization is not mandatory. However, there are exceptions - only three states, Texas, Wyoming, and Mississippi, explicitly require lien waivers to be notarized to effectively release the owner from filed lien claims. Of these states, only Texas' law is explicit on the matter. Mississippi also allows for the recording of an Affidavit of Nonpayment to reinstate rights when a waiver is given but payment is not received.

Individuals and businesses involved in construction projects need to be aware of the specific lien waiver requirements in the states where they operate to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. For more information on lien waiver state requirements, click here.

There are several benefits of using digital online notary services, including:

1. Convenience: Digital online notary services allow you to notarize documents from the comfort of your own home or office, eliminating the need to travel to a physical location.
2. Timesavings: With digital online notary services, you can get your documents notarized quickly without having to wait for an appointment or stand in line at a traditional notary office.
3. Accessibility: Online notary services are available 24/7, making it easier for you to get your documents notarized at any time that is convenient for you.
4. Extra security: Digital online notarization provides an added layer of security by using encryption and tamper-evident technology to ensure the integrity of your document.
5. Cost-effectiveness: Online notary services may be more cost-effective than traditional notary services, as they eliminate the need for travel expenses and offer competitive pricing.

Overall, digital online notary services offer convenience, efficiency, and security when notarizing your important documents. Even though this happens on rare occasions for most, the time-consuming behavior is greatly simplified within GCPay thanks to a partnership with Notarize.com. With the recent acquisition by “Proof”, the interface may look different for notarize.com, but the process for GCPay users remains the exact same.
