Important notes

• Notary commission state — The notary must be commissioned in a state that authorizes RON. Our partner OneNotary ensures all notaries are properly commissioned.
• Signer location — Most states allow the signer to be located anywhere (even outside the US), as long as the notary is commissioned in a RON-authorized state.
• Document types — Some states restrict certain document types from RON (e.g., real estate deeds in a few states). Insurance claim documents are generally accepted in all RON states.
• Recording requirements — All RON sessions are audio-video recorded and stored per state retention requirements (typically 5–10 years).
