Do You Offer Remote Services (RON)?
By U.S. Notary Authority — Nationwide Online Notarization & Loan Signing Services
Short answer?
Yes—and I don’t treat it like a novelty.
Remote Online Notarization (RON) isn’t a “pandemic workaround” anymore. It’s a strategic advantage when done correctly—and a liability when done casually.
Here’s what you actually need to know.
What Remote Online Notarization (RON) Really Is
Remote Online Notarization allows documents to be notarized entirely online, using:
Secure audio-video technology
Identity verification protocols
Credential analysis
Knowledge-based authentication (KBA)
Tamper-evident digital records
The signer and the notary are not in the same physical location, but the notarization is just as legally binding when performed in compliance with state law.
RON is not “e-signing.”
RON is real notarization—digitally executed.
Why RON Exists (And Why It’s Not Optional Anymore)
RON exists because modern transactions demand:
Speed
Accessibility
Security
Nationwide reach
Reduced friction
High-value deals don’t pause because someone is traveling, hospitalized, deployed, or across the country. RON removes location as a bottleneck.
For professionals, RON isn’t convenience—it’s continuity.
Who RON Is Built For
RON is ideal for:
Executives and founders
Investors
Lenders and title companies
Attorneys
Corporate clients
Military members
International signers (where permitted)
Anyone who values efficiency and discretion
If time zones, travel, or logistics are involved—RON wins.
What Happens If RON Is Done Incorrectly
This is where amateurs get exposed.
Improper RON execution can lead to:
Invalid notarizations
Rejected documents
Compliance violations
Funding delays
Legal exposure
Platform audit failures
RON is not “click and done.”
It requires process discipline and legal awareness.
Common RON Mistakes (I Don’t Make These)
Using non-compliant platforms
Failing identity verification steps
Not confirming state authorization
Rushing signers through KBA
Poor audio/video quality
Incomplete electronic records
Treating RON like casual e-signing
RON done wrong is worse than not offering it at all.
State Variants Matter (A Lot)
RON is governed by state law, not opinion.
Important realities:
Not all states allow RON
Some allow it with restrictions
Some require specific disclosures
Some limit document types
Some require registration or additional certification
I operate within the law, always—and I scale nationally only where permitted.
Fraud & Security Considerations
RON is actually more secure than traditional notarization when done properly.
Built-in protections include:
Multi-factor identity verification
Digital audit trails
Video recordings
Tamper-evident seals
Encrypted storage
That said—RON is only as strong as the professional executing it.
Security isn’t the platform.
It’s the operator.
A Real-World RON Scenario
An investor needs documents notarized:
They’re in a different state
Time-sensitive deal
Six-figure+ transaction
Zero margin for error
RON allowed:
Same-day execution
No travel delays
Full compliance
Clean audit trail
Funding stays on schedule
That’s not convenience—that’s leverage.
Red Flags I Watch For in RON Sessions
I pause or escalate when:
Signers fail identity verification
Someone attempts to coach answers
Audio/video quality compromises clarity
Signer doesn’t understand what they’re signing
Document requirements conflict with state law
RON still requires judgment.
Technology doesn’t replace professionalism.
