What is Remote Online Notarization (RON)?

Remote Online Notarization allows you to appear before a commissioned Florida Notary Public via a secure online platform. Through live two-way video and audio, your identity is verified, your document is electronically signed, and the notarial act is completed, just as it would be in a traditional in-person notarization. The entire process is recorded and a secure electronic journal is maintained, providing an enhanced level of security and an audit trail.

The Benefits of Choosing RON with Hillsborough Notary:

• Unmatched Convenience: No more fighting traffic or scheduling conflicts. Get your documents notarized when and where it’s most convenient for you.
• Time-Saving: Skip the travel time and parking woes. Your notarization can often be completed in minutes.
• Accessible from Anywhere: As long as you have an internet connection and a compatible device, you can connect with a Florida RON notary. (Note: While the signer can be anywhere, the notary must be physically located in Florida at the time of the notarization.)
• Enhanced Security: RON platforms utilize multiple layers of identity verification, including credential analysis and knowledge-based authentication (KBA), along with tamper-evident technology for the electronic document.
• Expert Guidance: As an experienced Notary Public and Apostille Agent, I understand the nuances of document requirements, especially for those with international implications. I’m here to guide you through the RON process with professionalism and care.

Documents Commonly Notarized via RON:

Many types of documents can be notarized remotely, including:

• Affidavits and Sworn Statements
• Powers of Attorney (Financial, Healthcare, etc.)
• Real Estate Documents (Deeds, Mortgages, Loan Applications – subject to lender acceptance)
• Travel Consent Forms for Minors
• Vehicle Title Applications
• And many other personal and business documents!

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR RON:

Before proceeding with a Remote Online Notarization, it is crucial that you confirm with the end recipient of your document (e.g., your bank, lawyer, government agency, court, title company, or foreign consulate) that they will accept a remotely notarized document.

While RON is legally recognized in Florida and many other states, some institutions or jurisdictions, particularly international entities, may still require a traditional wet-ink notarization or have specific requirements for electronic documents. Always verify acceptance to avoid delays.

What You’ll Need for Your RON Session:

• A reliable internet connection.
• A computer, tablet, or smartphone with a webcam and microphone.
• Your original, valid (unexpired) government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver’s license, passport).
• The electronic document(s) to be notarized in a PDF format.
