Fraud detection

Every layer of AI, working together

Zignature's AI runs before, during, and after every RON session — catching problems humans miss and completing compliance tasks in milliseconds.

AI Identity Verification

Computer vision analyzes government-issued ID documents — checking fonts, holograms, microprint, and format against a database of 10,000+ document templates from all 50 states and 190+ countries. Biometric liveness detection confirms the person on camera matches the ID photo.

  • Driver's license & passport scanning
  • Liveness detection (anti-spoofing)
  • Knowledge-based authentication (KBA)
  • Credential analysis scoring

Real-Time Fraud Detection

During every session, behavioral AI monitors for signals of coercion, impersonation, or document fraud. Anomaly detection compares session patterns against millions of prior sessions to flag anything statistically unusual — before the notary seals.

  • Coercion pattern detection
  • Device & IP risk scoring
  • Deepfake & screen-sharing detection
  • Real-time notary alerts

AI Document Pre-Screening

Before a session starts, AI reads every document and checks it's notarization-ready: required signature and notarial fields are present, state-specific language requirements are met, and the document structure matches the stated type. Sessions never fail due to a missing notarial block.

  • Automatic field detection & placement
  • State statute compliance checking
  • Document type classification
  • Missing element flagging

Automated Compliance & Journal

After each session, AI automatically creates the notary's electronic journal entry, verifies the recording meets state retention requirements, and generates a tamper-evident audit package. Compliance that used to take minutes is done in seconds.

  • Electronic journal auto-population
  • Recording quality verification
  • Tamper-evident audit trails
  • Retention schedule management

AI Session Summarization

Claude AI generates a structured plain-language summary of every completed session: what was notarized, who was present, what ID was presented, and any flags raised during the session. Searchable and exportable for legal teams, title companies, and enterprise compliance.

  • Powered by Anthropic Claude
  • Structured session report
  • Flag and anomaly callouts
  • Exportable to PDF / API

AI-Powered Notary Matching

When a signer submits a request, AI matches them with the optimal available notary based on state licensure, document type, historical session quality scores, and current availability — routing to the best-fit notary in under 10 seconds.

  • Multi-factor notary ranking
  • Quality score weighting
  • Load balancing across notary pool
  • Sub-10-second match time

AI before, during, and after every session

AI doesn't replace the notary — it handles every task that can be automated, so notaries spend 100% of session time on the work only they can do.

1
BEFORE SESSION

Document pre-screening & field detection

AI reads the uploaded document, detects the document type, checks for required notarial fields, verifies state-specific language, and automatically places signature and notary seal fields. No manual prep needed.

2
BEFORE SESSION

AI identity verification & KBA

The signer uploads their ID. AI scans and authenticates the document, runs liveness detection via the device camera, and scores the credential. Knowledge-based authentication questions are generated from credit bureau data.

3
DURING SESSION

Real-time fraud monitoring

Behavioral AI monitors the live video session for coercion signals, deepfake indicators, screen-sharing, and environmental anomalies. Any flag is surfaced to the notary in real time with a risk score and recommended action.

4
AFTER SESSION

Automated journal, archive & summary

AI populates the notary's electronic journal, verifies recording quality and completeness, generates a tamper-evident audit package, and produces a plain-language session summary via Claude — all within 60 seconds of seal.

AI notary questions answered

What is an AI notary?

An AI notary is a remote online notarization platform that uses artificial intelligence to automate identity verification, detect fraudulent signers, pre-screen documents for completeness, and flag compliance issues in real time — tasks traditionally done manually. Zignature combines AI infrastructure with a network of licensed notaries to deliver faster, safer RON at scale.

Can AI replace a human notary?

Not legally, and not on Zignature. Every RON session is conducted by a licensed notary who must review the document and apply their official seal. AI handles the surrounding infrastructure — verification, fraud detection, compliance checks — but the legal act of notarization requires a human notary under all current US state statutes.

How does AI identity verification work?

The signer photographs their government-issued ID using their device camera. AI analyzes the document against 10,000+ templates to verify authenticity (fonts, holograms, format). Facial recognition compares the ID photo to a real-time liveness check. Knowledge-based authentication then verifies identity against credit bureau records. The notary sees a combined risk score before the session begins.

Is AI-assisted notarization legally valid?

Yes. Documents notarized on Zignature carry the same legal weight as traditional in-person notarizations under each state's RON statute. Courts and title companies across all 40+ supported states routinely accept Zignature-notarized documents. The AI assists the notary; the legal act is still performed by a licensed human.

What states support AI-powered RON?

Zignature's AI notary platform operates in 40+ US states that have enacted RON legislation. Each session automatically applies the compliance rules for the signer's state — different states have different ID verification, recording, and journal requirements, and Zignature's AI handles all of them automatically. See our state-by-state RON guide for full details.

How does AI fraud detection work during a RON session?

Behavioral AI analyzes the live video feed and metadata throughout the session. It looks for coercion signals (someone off-camera giving instructions), deepfake indicators, screen-sharing of a pre-recorded video, device fingerprint anomalies, and unusual geographic or IP patterns. When any signal exceeds a risk threshold, the notary receives an immediate alert and guidance on whether to proceed or terminate the session.

Which AI models does Zignature use?

Zignature uses a combination of purpose-built computer vision models for ID analysis and liveness detection, behavioral ML models for fraud scoring, and Anthropic Claude for natural language tasks like document summarization and session report generation. All AI processing occurs in Zignature's secure infrastructure — no signer data is sent to third-party AI training pipelines.
