Remote Online Notarization (RON) lets you get a document notarized from anywhere—no printing, no driving, and no waiting. Here’s exactly how it works and what to expect.

  • A computer (best) or smartphone with camera and mic
  • A strong internet connection and an updated browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox)
  • Your document completed but not signed

5 steps to get notarized online

  1. Book your appointment. Choose a time that works for you at our secure booking link.
  2. Verify your identity. You’ll upload a photo of your ID. Some states also require a quick knowledge-based check.
  3. Join the secure video call. Click your meeting link and meet your notary in a private, encrypted session.
  4. Review & e-sign. You sign digitally while the notary watches, then we apply the electronic seal.

How long does it take?
Most sessions take 10–20 minutes once your ID is verified and your document is ready.
