Remote Online Notaries (RON)

308 of the 5,519 notaries we track nationwide have remote online notarization. Remote online notarization is legal in most, but not all, states, and even where it's allowed only some notaries are actually commissioned and equipped for it — something a basic "notary near me" map listing has no way to show. Every notary on this page has RON services confirmed from their own site or booking page, not inferred from being a notary at all.

Confirm your document type is eligible before booking. Most states allow RON for general acknowledgments and affidavits, but some document types — certain real estate closings or documents headed to a foreign country — still require an in-person or state-specific process.

Common questions

Is remote online notarization legal in my state?: Most U.S. states have passed laws permitting RON, but the rules on which notaries can offer it, what technology they must use, and which documents qualify vary by state. A handful of states still don't allow it or restrict it to emergency situations, so it's worth confirming your state's current law before relying on it.
How does remote online notarization actually work?: You connect with a commissioned notary over live video call, show a valid photo ID that's verified electronically, and sign the document digitally while the notary witnesses the signing in real time. The notary then applies an electronic seal and signature, and the platform keeps a recorded audit trail of the session.
