Procore adds embedded notarization to construction payments

Procore and OneNotary have launched an embedded notarization workflow inside Procore Pay to help contractors complete notarized lien waivers faster and reduce payment delays. The integration is available now to Procore Pay customers across the U.S. and is designed to keep compliance checks inside the payment flow.

Why it matters: - Construction payments can stall when lien waivers still require notarization outside the software workers already use. - The new workflow aims to cut paper handling, reduce admin work and speed up payment cycles. - Procore Pay customers can now keep notarization, compliance and payment processing in one system.

What happened: - Procore and OneNotary announced a new embedded notarization experience inside Procore Pay. - The integration lets general contractors require notarized lien waivers before payment. - Subcontractors can complete notarization digitally without leaving their existing workflow. - The service is now available to Procore Pay customers across the United States. - More information is available in Procore’s announcement.

The details: - Subcontractors can use their own approved notary through in-person electronic notarization, where identity is verified in person. - Subcontractors can also connect with OneNotary’s 24/7 nationwide network of state-credentialed notaries through remote online notarization. - Remote notarization uses enterprise-grade identity verification powered by Persona. - In both notarization paths, the notary confirms the signer is acting of their own free will before attesting to the signing. - Once completed, notarized documents automatically return to Procore Pay. - OneNotary’s remote sessions include a video recording retained for 10 or more years. - The result is a digital audit trail designed to support disputes over payment if they arise. - Procore says the workflow is built to satisfy compliance requirements without disrupting the flow of work.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a broader move toward workflow-native compliance, where regulated steps are built directly into enterprise software. - OneNotary is positioning credentialed human verification as infrastructure that can sit inside regulated business processes, not beside them. - The product pitch is straightforward: move legally required verification from a separate task into the payment workflow so money can move faster.

What’s next: - Procore and OneNotary will likely use the integration to push more regulated verification tasks into construction workflows. - Contractors using Procore Pay can start using electronic notarization now, which may shorten the time between waiver submission and payment approval.

The bottom line: - Procore is trying to remove a common payment bottleneck in construction by making notarization part of the software workflow, not a separate step.
