Understanding Remote Online Notarization (RON)

What Is Remote Online Notarization?

The signer and notary connect through a secure video platform, verify identity electronically, and complete the notarization digitally.

Is Online Notarization Legal?

Yes! As of 2024, 47 states plus Washington D.C. have enacted permanent laws authorizing remote online notarization. Documents notarized online have the same legal validity as traditional in-person notarizations when properly executed according to state law.
