What Is an Online Notary?
An online notary is a state-commissioned notary public who performs notarizations over the internet using secure audio-video technology. Also known as remote online notarization (RON), this service allows you to sign and notarize documents from anywhere—your home, your office, or even your phone.
✅ Legally recognized in most U.S. states✅ Available 24/7✅ Secure and encrypted
How Do Online Notary Services Work?
The process is simple:
1. Upload Your Document
You can notarize PDFs, Word files, and scanned documents.
2. Verify Your Identity
You'll go through a quick ID check using your government-issued ID and a few security questions (known as KBA: Knowledge-Based Authentication).
3. Meet Your Notary
Connect via live video with a certified online notary who walks you through the signing and notarization.
4. Download or Share Instantly
After notarization, you receive a tamper-proof, legally binding PDF—ready to download, email, or upload.
