Gone are the days of driving across town, printing stacks of paperwork, or taking time off work just to get something notarized. Thanks to technology, Remote Online Notarization (RON) is now legally accepted in most states—and it’s changing the way people and businesses handle critical documents.

If you're wondering what a Remote Online Notary is, how it works, and when you might need one, this blog is for you.

âś… What Is a Remote Online Notary?

A Remote Online Notary is a commissioned notary public who notarizes documents using a secure online platform. The signer and the notary meet over a live video call to complete the notarization, all while complying with state laws.

It’s the same legally binding process—just done digitally from the comfort of your couch, office, or even your car.

đź”’ Is Remote Notarization Legal?

Yes! Over 40 states now allow Remote Online Notarization, and the number keeps growing. RON is especially popular for real estate closings, legal affidavits, powers of attorney, and business agreements.

All notarizations are conducted using a secure platform that:

  • Verifies your identity

  • Records the session (for your protection)

  • Applies a tamper-evident digital seal

đź•’ When Should You Use a Remote Notary?

Here are just a few situations where a remote notary can save your day:

  • You're buying or refinancing a home and can’t attend closing in person

  • You need a POA or affidavit notarized after business hours
