People using a laptop and phone for secure identity verification

Two different identity controls

Texas online notarization commonly uses credential analysis and identity proofing. Credential analysis evaluates a government-issued identification credential using approved technology. Identity proofing may use dynamic knowledge-based authentication (KBA), which generates questions from public and proprietary data sources.

The notary does not create or see your answers

The third-party provider delivers the questions and evaluates the result. The notary does not choose the questions, supply answers, or override the provider. Aligned Print & Scan should never ask you to disclose KBA answers.

If a check is unsuccessful

An unsuccessful result is not a character judgment and Aligned Print & Scan does not speculate about the reason. Follow the platform's neutral instructions. A permitted retry, correction of an input error, or an in-person notary appointment may be available, but no outcome is guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Can Aligned Print & Scan tell me why I failed KBA?

Aligned Print & Scan generally receives a result, not the underlying personal-data rationale, and cannot override it.

Can someone help answer the questions?

No. The signer must complete identity proofing independently.

Is a photo ID still needed?

Credential analysis generally requires an acceptable government-issued identification credential.
