Frequently Asked Questions

Is Remote Online Notarization legally valid?

Yes. RON is legally valid in all 50 states and accepted by most institutions. The SECURE Notarization Act established a federal framework, and all 50 states have enacted RON legislation as of 2023.

What documents can be notarized online?

Most documents can be notarized online, including affidavits, powers of attorney, bills of sale, USPS Form 1583, deeds, and more. A small number of documents (some wills, certain court filings) may require in-person notarization in specific states.

How long does online notarization take?

Most sessions take 10–20 minutes. You upload your document, verify your identity, meet with a notary over video, and receive a tamper-evident, digitally sealed document.

Do I need witnesses for online notarization?

Most documents do not require witnesses. However, some documents — such as wills in certain states — require one or two witnesses. Each document guide on this site specifies whether witnesses are required.

Is my notarized document legally binding?

Yes. Notarized documents completed via RON carry the same legal weight as in-person notarizations. The digital seal and audit trail are legally recognized.

How much does online notarization cost?

Online notarization typically costs $15–$35 per session depending on the provider. This is significantly less than the time cost of finding an in-person notary.
