Question

Notary On-Demand envelope is locked for Troubleshooting

We set up a Notary-On Demand envelope for one of our partners.  She began the process, but when she met with the notary in the video sesison, she became concerned that the particular document in question would not be accepted if notarized by an out of state notary.  She chose to end the session to look into that.  About an hour later, after that question had been resolved, she tried to go through the notarization process again.  She received a message saying that the session had been put on hold for troubleshooting.  There didn’t seem to be a way to proceed.  We had to void the envelope and start over.  Why was the envelope on hold and why could we not proceed?

Also, why is there no history log for a notary on demand envelope?  It is impossible to troubleshoot issues without it.

Hello ​@Teri.Maier

After reviewing the envelope, our internal team found that the signer successfully joined the Notary on Demand session and completed both the Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) and Identity Verification (IDV) before the notary joined.

According to the session notes from our notary provider, the session was placed on hold due to an audio/video (A/V) issue. Unfortunately, no additional details were provided regarding the specific cause.
If you would still like more detailed information about the A/V issue, we recommend opening a Support case. Our team can engage the appropriate specialists and coordinate with the notary provider to request additional session details, if available.
