This article will discuss how this process works, what tools are necessary, and why it’s worth choosing an innovative notary.

How does a remote transaction (via notary) take place on enotaras.lt?

The process is strictly regulated, but for the user, it appears simple and intuitive. Here are the main steps:

1. Registration and document preparation

The entire process begins on the portal enotaras.lt. Here, the parties or their representative broker upload all necessary transaction documents. The notary reviews the information and prepares the draft contract.

2. Identity verification with iDenfy„

To ensure safety, we use „iDenfy“ (often called „Identify“) system. All you need is a smartphone and an ID document: the system scans your face, compares it to the photo on the document, and verifies your identity within minutes.

3. Video conference via Microsoft Teams„

At the agreed time, the parties will join the virtual meeting via „Microsoft Teams“.

Important to know: Notaras does not have to read every word of the contract aloud. He thoroughly introduction to the essence of the agreement, it emphasizes the essential terms, the settlement procedure, and explains the legal consequences of the transaction. This saves time while maintaining full legal transparency.

4. Signing with a qualified electronic signature

For the contract to be valid, it is necessary top-tier quality qualified electronic signature. You can use:

• Smart-ID (full, qualified version).

Is it safe and how much does it cost?

For many buyers, a natural question arises about security. The e-notary system uses state-of-the-art encryption algorithms, and video recording serves as irrefutable proof that the parties signed the document voluntarily.

Price: Remote signing costs as much as an in-person visit. The notary fees are set by the state, so you will pay the same amount for the confirmation of the transaction, regardless of whether you are sitting in the notary's office or on your terrace.

Not all notaries work the same way.

Although technology is available to everyone, it is important to emphasize that Not all notaries are willing to organize remote signings yet. Some stick to traditional methods out of habit or technical challenges.

As an NT broker who values aesthetics and efficiency, I advise: Choose a notary for whom e-process is not a problem. A modern specialist understands that your time is valuable and ensures a smooth digital process without unnecessary stress.
