How Online Notarization Works in Texas

Texas was one of the early pioneers of remote online notarization, enacting RON legislation in 2017. The state has a well-established framework that makes it easier than ever for residents to get documents notarized legally and securely. Here's how the process works:

The Texas RON Process (5 Simple Steps)

4. Electronic Signing & Sealing Sign your document electronically, and the notary will apply their digital seal and signature using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology, creating a tamper-evident electronic record.

5. Receive Your Notarized Document Download your legally notarized document immediately. It's accepted by all Texas agencies, courts, and institutions that recognize RON documents.

Texas RON Requirements & Laws

Texas has one of the most comprehensive remote online notarization frameworks in the country. Here's what you need to know:

Texas RON Legal Framework

Texas Government Code Chapter 406 authorizes online notarizations when:

• The notary is physically located in Texas during the notarization

• The signer's identity is verified through credential analysis and identity proofing that meets Texas Administrative Code Chapter 87 standards

• A third-party provider is used that utilizes Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology with X.509 compliance

• The audio-video session is recorded and securely stored for at least five years

• The notary maintains an electronic journal of all RON transactions

What Makes Texas RON Legal?

Texas law recognizes remote online notarizations as equivalent to traditional in-person notarizations when performed according to state requirements. Your electronically notarized documents have the same legal weight as paper notarizations.

Texas-Specific Requirements

Identity Proofing Standards: Texas requires notaries to use third-party providers that perform:

• Credential analysis of the signer's government-issued ID

• Knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questions derived from public records

• Multi-factor authentication

Technology Standards: The electronic notarization platform must:

• Use PKI technology from an X.509 compliant provider

• Attach or logically associate the notary's electronic seal and digital certificate

• Create tamper-evident electronic records

Documents Accepted in Texas

Texas courts, government agencies, banks, and institutions accept properly executed remote online notarizations for most documents except:

• Wills and codicils (require specific in-person witnessing under Texas Estates Code)

• Certain testamentary trusts

• Court documents that specifically require in-person appearance

When in doubt, ask us! Schedule a consultation to verify if your document qualifies for online notarization in Texas.
