What is remote online notary?

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is a secure, fully digital process allowing a commissioned notary to legally notarize electronic documents for a signer via live two-way audio-video technology instead of in person. It utilizes ID verification, electronic signatures, and tamper-evident technology, with sessions recorded and stored. 

Key Aspects of Remote Online Notarization

• Synonyms/Related Terms: Online Notarization, Virtual Notarization, RON, Electronic Notarization.
• Process: Signers use webcams to meet with a notary, verify their identity through credential analysis (e.g., knowledge-based authentication), and sign documents electronically.
• Security: RON is often considered more secure than in-person, as it requires audio-video recordings of the session and tamper-evident, encrypted digital seals. Jurisdictions:
