Every event of our life has documentary proof. From birth certificates, school and college marksheets, driving license, social ID, marriage records, house-purchase, investments, wills, power of attorneys, trusts for children, etc, all are proofs of milestone events that represent a life well lived.
It is like a big scrapbook of your achievements. But sometimes, for official things like getting a visa or applying to college, these papers need a special stamp from a notary to be official.
In the past, getting this stamp could be a pain. You might have to wait in line or deal with traffic jams just to meet with a notary. But now, thanks to something called remote online notarization, things are a whole lot easier. With RON, you can find a notary online who can verify your documents electronically, no trip needed! So even if you’re stuck in traffic or don’t have time to travel, you can still get your papers notarized quickly and conveniently. RON basically makes the impossible possible!
The first step is to track down a notary who is authorized to perform remote online notarizations. These days, many notary services offer RON alongside traditional in-person notarization. You can search online for “remote online notary” or “RON notary” in your area.
Before you connect with your notary online, make sure you have all your documents ready in electronic format. This typically means having them scanned as clear PDFs or images. Double-check that the scans are high quality and all the information is readable. Some RON platforms might have specific requirements for file formats, so be sure to confirm with your chosen notary service beforehand to avoid any delays.
Once you’ve chosen a notary and prepared your documents, schedule an online appointment for your RON session. Many notary services allow you to book appointments directly on their websites.
On the day of your appointment, you’ll connect with your notary through a secure online platform. This could be a video call or a specialized RON platform designed for online notarizations. The notary will guide you through the process, which typically involves:
The notary will ask you to show your valid government-issued ID (like a driver’s license or passport) on camera to confirm your identity.
Depending on the platform, you might sign your documents electronically during the call or you might need to print them, sign them physically, and then hold them up to the camera for the notary to witness your signature.
The notary will walk you through the document you need notarized, answer any questions you have, and then finalize the notarization process with their electronic seal.
Every document in future will be a digital representation of the records we held in paper form. It is also a progressive way to keep the planet happy.
