What Is a Remote Online Notary (RON)?

A Remote Online Notary is a commissioned Florida Notary Public who performs notarizations using secure audio-video technology instead of meeting in person.

During your appointment, your identity is verified through secure authentication, your documents are signed electronically, and the notarization is completed in compliance with Florida law.

The process is:

• Schedule your appointment

• Upload your documents securely

• Verify your identity

• Meet with the notary through live video

• Electronically sign your documents

• Receive your completed notarized documents

Most appointments take only a few minutes.

Can I Use Remote Online Notary Services If I'm Outside Florida?

Yes.

One of the biggest advantages of Florida's Remote Online Notary law is that signers may often be located outside Florida—even outside the United States—provided the notarization complies with Florida law and the document is permitted to be notarized remotely.

This makes RON an excellent option for:

• U.S. citizens living abroad

• Military personnel

• International business professionals

• Travelers

• College students

• Snowbirds

• Overseas property owners

Do Remote Online Notarized Documents Need an Apostille?

Sometimes.

If your notarized document will be used in another country, it may also require an apostille or additional legalization.

Examples include:
