What Is A Remote Online Notary (RON)?

A Remote Online Notary (RON) is a legally commissioned state official who performs notarial acts over the internet. Instead of meeting in person, signers and the notary connect via secure two-way audio-video technology.

To ensure security and prevent fraud, the RON process relies on strict digital verification:

  • Identity Verification: Signers upload government-issued IDs and answer personal history questions (Knowledge-Based Authentication).
  • Digital Signing: Documents are signed using electronic signatures and sealed with an official digital certificate.
  • Record Keeping: The entire session is securely recorded and logged.

This allows you to safely and legally notarize documents from anywhere.

  • Find the exact requirements for your state
  • I use the approved platform Blue Notary.
    • I do not accept anything over Zoom, Facetime or any other unsecured video platform.
