Online Services

Sometimes, seeing a notary in-person just isn’t a viable option. Whether someone is traveling, pressed for time, or can’t seem to find an available notary that fits their hectic schedule, being able to access one virtually is the next best thing. For these instances, ensuring you are set up for Florida online notary services is of the utmost importance.

A Remote Online Notary, or RON, is a commissioned notary public who is authorized to provide notary services online via audio-video services that meet the requirements of the state’s administrative code. While many believe electronic notarization is the same as remote online notarization, they are very different. Although electronic notarizations involve documents being signed in an electronic format, they still require both the notary and the individual seeking notarization to be physically present. Remote online notarization is done 100% online, meaning neither party has to be in the physical presence of the other.

What Is Remote Online Notarization (RON) And How Does It Work?

The process of remotely notarizing a document using an electronic signature, identity verification, audio-visual, and electronic notarial journal and record-keeping technology is known as RON. These technologies allow notaries to notarize documents safely while saving time and money for themselves and the parties concerned. Instead of meeting in-person to sign a paper document, the notary public and the signer can do a notarial act on their devices from wherever they are, as long as their state laws allow it.
