OneNotary process at a glance 

You will receive an email from Route Support in response to your claim indicating that we need an online notarized incident statement. In that email, there is a link to a OneNotary session, which will walk you through the process of obtaining the notarized form. You will enter your email address, accept an invitation to start the notarization process sent to your inbox, fill out the required incident statement form, and join a live video session with a notary who will verify your identity and notarize the form. The entire process should take roughly 10 minutes to complete. Once complete, Route Support will be automatically notified, and someone from our team will continue processing your claim.
