How Remote Notarization Works: Step-by-Step Guide

Gone are the days of printing, driving, and meeting in person just to get something notarized. Remote Online Notarization (RON) is a fast, legal, and secure way to notarize documents from the comfort of your home—or anywhere you have Wi-Fi.

Whether you’re closing on a home, signing a power of attorney, or submitting legal paperwork, here’s exactly what you can expect from the remote notarization process.

🔹 Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment

Most remote notaries offer flexible hours and same-day appointments. Once scheduled, you'll receive a secure link to join your online session—no apps to download, just click and go.

🔹 Step 2: Upload Your Document

Before your session, you’ll upload the document that needs notarizing. It can be a PDF or digital form—no printing required.

🔹 Step 3: Verify Your Identity

This is where the security kicks in. You’ll be asked to:

• Answer a few identity-based questions (known as KBA or Knowledge-Based Authentication)

• Show a valid government-issued photo ID on camera

These steps help verify that you are who you say you are—protecting both you and the notary.

🔹 Step 4: Join the Video Call

Once your identity is verified, you'll meet your notary via a secure video call. They’ll walk you through the document, witness your signature, and apply their digital notary seal—all in real time.

🔹 Step 5: Download the Notarized Document

After the session, your notarized document will be available for immediate download. It includes a tamper-evident seal and full audit trail to meet legal standards in most U.S. states.

🔐 Is It Secure?

Yes! Remote notarization uses:

• Encrypted video platforms

• Identity verification

• Digital audit trails

• Tamper-proof digital seals

It's not just convenient—it’s secure and legally binding.

🎯 Final Thoughts

Remote Online Notarization makes life easier—especially for busy professionals, real estate closings, or urgent legal matters. You can get documents notarized from your home, your car, or even during your lunch break.
