Remote Online Notarization (RON)
What to check before booking a video appointment.
How exactly does remote online notarization work?
First, confirm that the organization receiving your document accepts online notarization and ask whether it has any format or signing requirements. If the document and recipient allow a remote appointment, we will confirm the process and instructions when the appointment is arranged. You will generally need a device with a camera and microphone, a stable internet connection, your identification, and the complete document. The exact signing and document-delivery steps depend on the document and appointment setup.
Is remote online notarization legally valid in Ontario?
Whether an online appointment is suitable depends on the document, the required notarial act, and the rules of the organization or jurisdiction receiving it. Do not assume that a recipient accepts an online-notarized document. Check its requirements first, including whether it needs an original, a particular certificate, or in-person signing. Tell us the document type and where it will be used so we can confirm whether we can offer the requested appointment format.
What do I need to have ready for a remote online notarization appointment?
Have your complete document and current government-issued photo ID ready, along with any instructions from the organization that requested the notarization. Use a device with a working camera and microphone, a reliable internet connection, and a private, quiet place for the call. Do not sign in advance unless you were instructed to do so. We will share any additional document or technology requirements when confirming the appointment.
Can I use my smartphone or do I need a computer for online notarization?
A phone, tablet, or computer may work, provided it supports the appointment process and has a functioning camera and microphone. A larger screen can make it easier to follow instructions and view documents. Let us know what device you plan to use when booking, and we will confirm whether it is suitable.
How soon can I get a RON appointment, and is there a premium charge for online notarization?
Availability and fees depend on the document, appointment time, and service required. Same-day appointments may be available, but they are not guaranteed. Contact us with the document type and your deadline to confirm the next available time and the applicable fee before you book.
Is online notarization as secure as in-person notarization, and how is my data protected?
Online appointments involve sharing identification and document details, so ask how the appointment will be conducted, how documents should be sent, and how completed copies will be returned. Platform features and record-keeping practices vary; we will provide the relevant instructions for your appointment. Avoid sending sensitive documents through channels that have not been confirmed for that purpose.
