The Complete Document Lifecycle: Scan, Sign, Notarize, Ship

From upload to international delivery in one platform. The 6-step document lifecycle that replaces 4+ vendors.

The Document Lifecycle Problem

Most professionals use 4-5 different tools to handle a single document:

Scanner or email to receive it

Adobe or manual review to read it

DocuSign to sign it

Mobile notary to notarize it

FedEx to ship it

Each handoff adds time, cost, and risk of error.

The ClosingIQ Lifecycle: 6 Steps, 1 Platform

Step 1: Upload

Drag and drop any document — PDF, DOCX, image, or photo. Any size, any format.

Step 2: AI Scan

In 90 seconds, AI extracts every key field: parties, amounts, dates, legal descriptions, terms. 320+ risk types flagged automatically with page citations.

Step 3: Sign

Send for electronic signature. ESIGN Act compliant. Signers sign in their browser — no app needed. $5 per envelope.

Step 4: Notarize

Click 'Notarize' and connect with a live certified notary on video within minutes. 24/7, no appointment. Identity verified with government ID + KBA.

Step 5: Apostille

For international use, ClosingIQ submits to the Secretary of State for apostille. 8 states offer fully digital e-apostille. Standard: 5-7 days. Rush: 24 hours.

Step 6: Ship

FedEx integration generates a shipping label. Track delivery to 125+ countries. Or self-print the label and drop at any FedEx location.
