Remote Online Notarization
Meet Your Notary Online
No commute. No searching for an open notary. No need to be in the same room.
Remote Online Notarization, commonly called RON or online notarization, allows an eligible signer to appear before a commissioned remote notary using secure audio-video communication technology.
Depending on the document, transaction and applicable requirements, this can make notarization possible from your home, office, hotel or even while traveling.
U.S. Notary Authority provides remote notarization for eligible documents and signers through approved technology designed to support identity verification, electronic signing and completion of the electronic notarial act.
Remote online notarization may be ideal for:
Affidavits and sworn statements
Powers of attorney
Business and corporate documents
Real estate documents
Estate planning documents
School and academic documents
Consent forms and authorizations
International document preparation
Individuals who cannot conveniently meet a notary in person
Businesses that need scalable notarization access
Eligibility and acceptance can depend on the document, transaction, receiving party and applicable law.
Mobile Notary Services
We Bring the Notary to You
Some documents need to be signed in person.
Sometimes the signer cannot travel.
Sometimes leaving the office, hospital, home or closing table simply isn't practical.
That's where mobile notarization comes in.
U.S. Notary Authority provides scheduled mobile notary services throughout our in-person Pennsylvania service area, bringing professional notarization directly to the signer.
Mobile appointments may be available at:
Private residences
Offices and workplaces
Hospitals
Senior living communities
Nursing and rehabilitation facilities
Hotels
Title and escrow offices
Law offices
Financial institutions
Other agreed meeting locations
From an individual power of attorney to a multi-document signing, we come prepared for the appointment and the circumstances surrounding it.
In-Person Notary Services
Prefer to Come to Us?
Not every notarization requires a mobile appointment or online session.
For clients who prefer a traditional face-to-face experience, U.S. Notary Authority offers convenient in-person options by appointment.
Choose from available:
Walk-In Notary Services
A straightforward option for clients who want to bring their documents and identification to us.

Services may include:
Purchase closings
Seller packages
Refinances
HELOC signings
Reverse mortgage signings

Professional execution. Clear communication. Reliable completion.
Estate Planning Notarization
Important Documents Deserve an Appropriate Signing Environment
Estate planning documents often involve more than a signature.
There may be multiple signers, witnesses, several documents, mobility considerations or a signer who needs a notary brought to a home, hospital or care facility.
U.S. Notary Authority provides dedicated estate planning notarization services for eligible documents such as:
Powers of attorney
Trust-related documents
Healthcare documents
Advance directives
Living wills
Affidavits
Supporting estate documents
Depending on the documents and applicable requirements, appointments may be completed online, in person or through mobile service.
We work with individuals, families and professional offices to make the signing process organized and manageable while maintaining the independence required of the notarial role.
Corporate Notarization
Notary Infrastructure for Businesses That Need More Than One Appointment

We work with professional clients including:
Law firms
Title and escrow companies

Documents We commonly Notarize
Not sure whether your document can be notarized?

Personal & Family Documents
Powers of attorney, affidavits, sworn statements, consent forms, parental authorizations, name affidavits and other personal records.
Estate Planning Documents
Powers of attorney, trusts and trust-related documents, healthcare directives, living wills and other eligible estate records.
Real Estate & Mortgage Documents
Loan packages, deeds and related real estate records, seller documents, refinance packages, HELOC documents and transaction affidavits.
Business & Corporate Documents
Corporate resolutions, business affidavits, agreements, authorizations, powers of attorney and documents executed in a representative capacity.
Academic & International Documents
Diplomas, transcripts, declarations, affidavits, powers of attorney and other documents that may require notarization before additional authentication or international use.
Have a document you don't see listed?
Send us the document type and tell us what you're trying to accomplish. We'll determine whether it falls within the notarial services we provide or whether another process may be required.
Notarization vs. Apostille: Do You Need One or Both?
These are not the same service.
Notarization involves a notarial officer performing an authorized notarial act.
An apostille or authentication, when required, is a separate certification process generally associated with documents that will be presented outside the United States.
Some international documents require notarization before they can proceed through the appropriate apostille or authentication process.
That's why U.S. Notary Authority offers both.
Instead of finishing the notarization only to discover that you still need to determine the next step, clients with international documents can access dedicated apostille and authentication services through U.S. Notary Authority.

How Our Notary Process Works.
1. Tell Us What You Need
Choose your service and provide the basic details about your document, signer and preferred appointment method.
2. Choose Online, Mobile or In Person
We'll direct you to the appropriate service based on the type of appointment requested and available service options.
3. Prepare for Your Appointment
Have the complete document and appropriate identification available. Additional requirements may apply depending on the notarial act, document or transaction.
Do not sign in advance when your particular notarial act requires the signature to occur in the notary's presence.
4. Meet With Your Notary
Appear before the notary using the applicable in-person or approved remote process. Identity and other requirements applicable to the notarial act are addressed during the appointment.
5. Complete the Notarial Act
Once the requirements for the requested notarial act are satisfied, the notarial certificate is completed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Notary Services
-
A notary public performs authorized notarial acts that can include taking acknowledgments, administering oaths or affirmations, taking verifications on oath or affirmation, witnessing or attesting signatures and performing other acts authorized by applicable law.
The exact act required depends on the document and the instructions or requirements of the receiving party.
-
Generally, you should have your complete document and acceptable identification available. Other requirements may apply depending on the document, notarial act and circumstances of the signer.
If you're unsure what you'll need, contact us before your appointment.
-
Many eligible documents can be completed through Remote Online Notarization.
Whether RON is appropriate can depend on the document, applicable law, transaction requirements and whether the organization receiving the document will accept the electronic/remote notarization.
Learn More About Remote Online Notarization.
-
Mobile notary appointments are available within our designated Pennsylvania service area and may be scheduled at homes, offices, hospitals, care facilities and other agreed locations.

-
Powers of attorney are commonly presented for notarization. The exact execution, notarization and witness requirements can vary depending on the document and governing law.
A notary cannot select or draft the legal instrument for a signer or provide legal advice regarding what the signer should execute.
Power of Attorney Notarization.
-
A notary cannot choose a notarial act on behalf of a signer when doing so would constitute unauthorized legal advice.
If the document does not specify the notarial act and you're unsure which is required, you may need to obtain instructions from the document's receiving agency, document preparer or an attorney.
-
That depends on the notarial act.
Certain acts involve signing in the notary's presence, while an acknowledgment generally involves the signer acknowledging that the signature was made for the purposes stated in the record.
If you're unsure whether to sign beforehand, the safest approach is to leave the signature line unsigned until the appointment unless you've received appropriate instructions.
-
Not necessarily.
Electronic notarization concerns a record in electronic form, while Remote Online Notarization uses communication technology so the remotely located individual can appear before the notary through audio-video communication.
RON vs. Electronic Notarization.
-
Potentially, yes. However, notarization and international authentication are separate processes.
Depending on the document and destination, the document may subsequently require an apostille, authentication, certification, consular legalization or another process.
Explore Apostille & Authentication Services.
-
Yes. U.S. Notary Authority provides corporate and professional notarization solutions for organizations that need recurring or higher-volume support.
Explore Corporate Notarization.
-
No. U.S. Notary Authority provides notarial and related document services; it is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
