Remote Online Notarization, executed with the same standard as in-person.
Same documents. Same legal weight. Different location.
Notarization, online.
RON is a notarization done online through a secure platform, not a video call like Zoom or FaceTime. The signer and the notary connect through a system specifically designed and authorized to perform legal notarizations, with identity verification, document tampering protection, and tamper-evident digital signatures built in. Same legal weight as a traditional notarization. Different mechanics.
Every day, more title companies, lenders, and law firms are offering their clients the option to sign via Remote Online Notarization. Most clients who try it find the experience faster, easier, and more convenient than traveling to a physical signing.
The right notary for the right signer.
Whether the signer is a U.S. citizen, a resident, or a foreign national, we have a notary who can serve them. Two paths, both legally valid.
For U.S. Citizens and Residents
Our Florida-commissioned online notaries can notarize for U.S. citizens and U.S. residents, regardless of where they are physically located in the world. This covers the majority of standard real estate and legal transactions.
For Foreign Signers
Our Virginia-commissioned online notaries can notarize for foreigners, regardless of where they are physically located in the world. This is the right path when one or more signers are not U.S. citizens or residents, including investors, expats, and international parties to a U.S. transaction.
When the order comes in, we ask one question: who is signing, and where? From that answer, we assign the right notary and the right platform for the transaction.
Four platforms. One execution standard.
Most underwriters specify which RON platform must be used for a given transaction. We work with the four most commonly required platforms across the industry.
BlueNotary
The most commonly requested platform across the industry, and one of the easiest for signers to use. Used by both Florida and Virginia Remote Online Notaries.
NotaryCam
Required by many underwriters and known for stricter verification standards. Most title professionals assume they need to work with NotaryCam directly. They don't. We have direct access to the platform and a pool of notaries available, which means zero wait time on your transaction.
Proof
A RON platform requested by some underwriters as part of their preferred workflow.
Pactima
A flexible and easy-to-use platform that supports a wide range of transactions, including those involving foreign signers. It is also the platform we rely on when signers are physically located in China, where most other RON platforms are blocked by local internet restrictions. Pactima runs reliably in that environment, which makes it the right choice for transactions with parties based there.
All four of these platforms fall under what the industry calls MISMO compliance, the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization standard for digital mortgage transactions. In most cases, our clients tell us which platform to use, and we adapt. As RON experts, we've closed thousands of transactions via Remote Online Notarization, with signers across the U.S. and around the world.
Four things. That's all.
Device with camera and microphone
Laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Whichever the signer is comfortable with.
Strong internet connection
Stable enough to support uninterrupted video. Most home Wi-Fi works fine.
Valid government-issued ID
U.S. driver's license, U.S. passport, or foreign passport. Must be physically available during the session.
Personal email address
Each signer needs their own email to receive platform invitations and verification links.
How identity is confirmed.
RON only works when the signer can be verified. The process is structured, fast, and built around three checkpoints.
ID Upload & Credential Analysis
The signer uploads or shows a clear image of their government-issued ID. The platform runs an automatic authenticity check, also known as credential analysis. This is a fraud-prevention scan.
Identity Verification
For U.S. signers (citizens and residents): Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA). The signer answers personal verification questions based on their U.S. credit history, like past addresses or loan history. Most platforms require 5 questions, multiple choice, completed in about 2 minutes, with a passing score of 80% or higher. One retry is typically allowed if the first attempt fails.
For foreign signers: KBA does not apply. Foreign signers do not have a U.S. credit history, which is what generates the KBA security questions. Instead, identity verification is supported through credential analysis, including passport validation, along with biometric and document-based verification tools provided by the platform.
Live Video Session
The signer joins the live session with the notary. Camera and microphone enabled. The notary verifies the physical ID on camera, walks the signer through the documents, and executes the notarization.
This is not a casual video call. The platform records the entire session, encrypts every signature, and creates a tamper-evident audit trail. The result is more secure, not less, than a traditional in-person notarization.
Sometimes RON requires a different path. We'll find it.
RON requires the signer to pass identity verification. If the signer cannot upload an acceptable ID or fails the platform's verification standards, the notarization cannot be completed on that platform.
When that happens, we don't stop. We adjust. Sometimes the right answer is rescheduling the session for a quieter time. Sometimes the right answer is switching to a different platform, since each one uses slightly different verification methods, and a signer who fails on one may succeed on another. And sometimes the right answer is pivoting to in-person mobile notarization. We tell you immediately and coordinate the transition.
RON also requires basic comfort with technology. For signers who are not computer savvy, we recommend having a tech-comfortable family member or friend assist them during the session. A second pair of hands on a laptop or phone often makes the difference between a smooth signing and a rescheduled one. We make this recommendation upfront so there are no surprises during the session.
Behind every RON we execute is a team of Remote Online Notaries who each speak at least two languages. That bilingual capacity is rarely found in the signing service industry, and it's a real asset for transactions involving Spanish-speaking signers, foreign nationals, and international parties.
Our RON pricing reflects the level of service we deliver. Flat-fee, transparent, and aligned with the premium standard we set at every step. We don't publish rates because every transaction is different, but we can tell you this: our quotes are competitive for the market, and the invoice you receive matches the quote we gave. Always. No platform fees passed through. No surprise charges.
