F.A.Q

1. What is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization allows documents to be notarized securely online using live audio-visual technology. You don’t need to meet in person — the notarization is completed through a secure platform that verifies identity and records the session in compliance with Florida law.

 

2. Is Remote Online Notarization legal in Florida?

Yes. Remote Online Notarization is fully authorized under Florida law and follows strict identity verification, recordkeeping, and security requirements.

 

3. Can you notarize documents for clients outside Florida?

Yes. As a Florida-commissioned Remote Online Notary, I can notarize documents for clients located anywhere in the United States, provided the notarization is permitted under Florida law and accepted by the receiving institution.

 

4. What types of documents can be notarized online?

Common documents includes:

  • Medical directives and healthcare powers of attorney
  • Estate planning documents such as wills, trusts, and POAs
  • Real estate and loan documents
  • Affidavits, agreements, and authorizations

Some documents may require in-person notarization or witnesses depending on state or institutional requirements.

 

5. How do I know if my document qualifies for RON?

All requests are reviewed prior to scheduling. Once you submit your document details, I’ll confirm whether it’s eligible for Remote Online Notarization.

 

6. What do I need for a Remote Online Notary appointment?

You’ll need:

Remote Online Notarization includes:

These elements go beyond a traditional in-person notarization.

Yes. All notarizations are conducted using state-approved, secure platforms that protect your personal information and comply with Florida recordkeeping requirements.

 

12. Can multiple signers join the same session?
