Remote Online Notarization Laws by State
Remote online notarization (RON) is governed by individual state laws. The legal landscape has expanded significantly, but each state sets its own rules for how RON must be conducted, what technology platforms are permitted, and what identity verification standards apply.

Online Notary Center operates where remote online notarization is legally permitted. If your state is not listed above, it may have different RON requirements or may not yet have a specific state page. Contact our team to discuss your state's current RON status and whether we can serve your notarization needs.
Even for states not listed, your document recipients' institutions may accept RON completed in a RON-enabled state by a commissioned notary. Rules vary — consult an attorney for your specific situation.

What Remote Online Notarization Means for You
Remote online notarization (RON) allows a commissioned notary to notarize documents via live audio-video session rather than requiring all parties to be physically present in the same location. The notary verifies your identity electronically, witnesses your signature on-screen, and applies a tamper-evident electronic seal.
Because RON is governed by state law, the legality and requirements for any given notarization depend on:
- The state in which the notary is commissioned
- The state's specific RON statute and technology requirements
- Whether the receiving institution accepts RON documents
- The document type and its applicable jurisdiction
