Remote Online Notary 24/7

What Is a Remote Online Notary?

A Remote Online Notary (RON) is a notarization done entirely online instead of in person. Instead of meeting face-to-face, the signer and the notary connect via secure audio-video technology and the document is notarized electronically (with digital signatures and seals).

Key features of RON

  • The signer and notary meet through a live video call.

  • The signer’s identity is verified with secure methods like ID scanning, credential analysis, or knowledge-based authentication.

  • The notary uses electronic signatures and a digital seal.

  • The session must be recorded and stored according to state law.

Benefits of RON

  • Convenient: Do notarizations from home or anywhere.

  • Flexible: Works across state lines (as long as the notary’s state law allows it).

  • Accessible: Great for people who can’t visit notaries in person.

 

Step 1: Make Payment & Schedule Online Notary Meeting


Step 2: Upload Your Documents 

Start by uploading the document that needs to be notarized to the secure online notary platform.

  • Documents must be complete but unsigned

  • Common documents include affidavits, powers of attorney, agreements, and consent forms

Step 3: Verify Your Identity

To protect against fraud, your identity is verified using secure methods such as:

  • Government-issued photo ID

  • Credential analysis (ID scan)

  • Knowledge-based authentication (personal questions)

This process ensures the notary can legally notarize your document.

Step 4: Connect With a Notary via Live Video

You’ll join a live audio-video session with a commissioned online notary.
During the session, the notary will:

  • Confirm your identity

  • Review the document

  • Ensure you understand what you are signing

Step 5: Sign Electronically

Once approved, you will sign the document electronically during the live session.
The notary then applies:

  • An electronic signature

  • A digital notary seal

The notarization is completed in real time.

Step 6: Session Recording & Notary Journal

The online notarization session is securely recorded and logged, as required by law.
This recording provides:

  • Legal protection

  • Proof of proper notarization

  • A permanent audit trail

Step 7: Receive Your Notarized Document

After completion, you’ll receive:

  • A digitally notarized document

  • Immediate access for download, printing, or sharing
