A notary is a state-appointed official who serves as an impartial witness to verify identities, oversee document signings, and help prevent fraud.

RON is a secure and legally recognized way to get your document notarized from anywhere in the world. All you need is internet, a valid ID, and a way to connect to video/audio communication (computer, laptop, smartphone).

It is a fast, secure, and legally compliant process that requires very little tech experience. It skips the commute time for clients and the notary, and there are no geographical limits.

Most basic general notary documents can be completed online in as little as 15 minutes. This time can vary depending upon the amount of pages in the document, and the amount of seals and signatures required.

Valid Identification: A government-issued ID like a Driver's license or Passport. The notary will ask you to show this identification during the video session to verify your identity.

Digital Copies of Documents: Digital copies of the documents that require notarization. Please ensure these are filled out in their entirety before uploading. No changes can be made to the documents by the notary.

Access to a Computer or Mobile Device: You will need access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection to join the video conference with the notary. Make sure your device has a working camera and microphone.

Remote Online Notarization is legally recognized across all 50 U.S. states. While not every state commissions its own Remote Online Notaries, properly performed RONs are valid and enforceable nationwide when conducted in accordance with the commissioning state’s laws.

Most states have “recognition” or “interstate” provisions, meaning a notarization done in line with one state’s RON law is accepted in other states. This means a document notarized online by a notary commissioned in a RON-authorized state is generally valid across the country.

It is highly recommended that you ask the receiving party (bank, lender, county recorder, court) to confirm whether they accept an electronically (RON) notarized version of the document.
