What Is Remote Online Notarization?
What it is:
Remote Online Notarization (RON) is a process that allows a notary public to perform notarizations over the internet using audio-visual technology instead of meeting in person.
RON enables documents to be signed and notarized digitally, with the signer and notary in different locations, connected through a secure online platform.
RON modernizes notarization by moving the entire process online while maintaining legal validity and security.
How it works:
1. The signer uploads or accesses a document online
2. Identity is verified (typically via ID scan, knowledge-based questions, or credential analysis)
3. The signer and notary meet via live video call
4. The signer electronically signs the document
5. The notary applies a digital seal and signature
6. The session is recorded and stored for compliance
Requirements:
A state that authorizes RON (laws vary by state)
Approved RON platform/software
Identity verification tools
Secure storage of recordings and documents
