How can I, living in Canada, get a mortgage US-notarized?
I live in Toronto, Canada. I'm closing on a house in Kansas, USA.
I need to get the closing documents notarized, and it must be a US notary. In normal times I can do it at the US Consulate, but the Consulate is closed until further notice (COVID). Another option I considered is driving to Buffalo, NY to meet a US notary there, but I spoke with US-Customs+Border Patrol and they assured me that I will be denied entry because it's not essential travel.
The only option I can think of is to fly into the closest US airport, but that seems like overkill. Way too much money and time.
I looked into online notarization, but I'm a little bit confused about it, as I saw that Kansas will only add RON (Remote Online Notarization) legislature in January 2022.
Does anyone know how I can get my documents notarized in a reasonable way, without having to fly to the US?
